I'm scared of getting my implant next week

HI everyone... I'm scheduled for surgery next week and I'm very very very scared. A part of me wants to do it but another part of me doesn't. Can you guys give me some encouragement and share your experiences before getting your implant?

It's normal to be anxious, scared, and nervous before any surgery. My implant at 68 years old was my first ever surgery, don't think I got any sleep the two nights prior. Once I made it to the facility everyone was so nice they eased my nervousness, things went smoothly and I woke up bionic. All the years missing out on sex made me feel like I wasted time.
Best of luck. Post your results.

I was scared too before my implant surgery back in 2021. Who wouldn't be at least a little bit nervous before going through with such a procedure? For encouragement, I would advice you to look at the results: all studies I have seen have indicated that a very high percentage of implantees are happy with the result. Anecdotally, many suffer from a sense of "buyers' remorse" right after the surgery, when things are still sore and they haven't gotten to use the implant yet. But a few months down the road, the great majority seem to enjoy their new erection-on-demand and be glad they had the courage to go through with surgery.

As for myself, even though my implant recently failed and I will now have to have it replaced, my only regret is that I didn't get an implant earlier. I wish I had gotten it when my ED had progressed to such a level that not even the injections gave me a satisfactory erection. For me, that would have meant getting the implant in my mid-forties, rather than waiting till my mid-fifties.

Since you are scheduled for surgery, I assume you have pretty bad ED and that you have tried pills and injections, and that they don't work well for you, or you are not happy using them. (I grew to hate the injections.) If that is the case, and if you have a high-volume surgeon that you trust, then you probably want to just go ahead with, get it done, and then be conscientious about following your doctor's instructions during the healing period. Chances are that six months from now, you'll be very happy that you did.
