Did you ask if you will lose any size?

My original, local urologist is the one who first told me about implants. He described the whole 8-week process to me. He said you will be sore and you will lose about an inch but the women don't seem to care.

I went to a different doctor who assured me I wouldn't lose length, his receptionist said I wouldn't lose any length. Have I lost any length? I don't know because I didn't thoroughly measure before surgery. And, I'm not up to 6 months yet. So time will tell. If I did lose length, I still enjoy this rock hard dick. They say that all the nerves in a woman's vagina are in the first 3 inches anyway,

Hey Jim,
We've talked a couple times now. I hope an implant will be my absolute final option and not really something I want to spend a ton of money on, but I understand what you're going through. How old were you when you started noticing things not quite going correctly?

Jim,

Can you get documentation from your insurance company regarding benefits and even implant criteria. I have BCBS and they had a one-page document on implants that defined the criteria for "medically necessary." I met the criteria so they covered the implant.

How old are you? Medicare does pay for implants. Anyway, I hope you can dig and maybe get this done. Hopefully your doctor is a strong and effective advocate and can persuade them to pay.
