Re: How Much Research did you do before getting an implant??

I spent almost 1 yr researching implants, injections, talked with people on this sight. I also talked with other urologists. I watched the surgeries being done by Dr. Kramer and others. I did not rush into anything right away. During this process
I tried the injection route and was allergic to the different meds involved.
By the time I made my decision I believed I was almost ready to do the surgery by myself....LOL. I knew what I was getting into, and what was involved. I was refered to a doctor that I could not research, the man was a surgeon for 50 years and no information on him. He did the surgery and left me with an implant that was too short to do anything with.
I researched another doctor and made an appointment with him. 6months latter he replaced my failed implant with one that is much better. I thank Dr. Kramer. He has earned my respect and admiration.
I made a mistake researching a doctor with no information available. That will never happen again. My advice to others, take your time, do your research, talk to others. Know what you are getting into, the good the bad and what can go wrong. Never have surgery expecting more than what you have. Some are lucky some are disappointed.
I am happy with the decision I have made and enjoy what I have now.![Mr. Green :mrgreen:](./images/smilies/icon_mrgreen.gif)
