Searching for a surgeon in or not far from Kansas who cares about size

[newbie443]

I've seen two surgeons here in Wichita, Kansas, and neither would bother to size patients through injections prior to surgery. They basically took my flaccid penis, stretched it just a little, and said that's about the length I can expect after getting an implant (I'm 8" but a grower not a shower). What I saw was what would be little more than a 6" result. I flew out of there both times. I couldn't believe it! I want somebody with a surgical philosophy similar to that of Dr. Kramer, but I don't really want to travel to Baltimore to have my surgery done if there are any surgeons here in the heartland who are also aggressive on sizing. I'm a single, sexually active 51-year-old and have battled ED for years. I graduated from Viagra to Trimix over a year ago, going from 0.4 to a full ml injection. I'm tired of needles and unpredictable erections (will it last one hour or four or more?), and I'm starting to see scar tissue build up with a downward tilt. I want to keep my 8" length and 6.5" circumference, or real close to it. After much research, I've decided a Coloplast Titan XL would be best for me. I'd really appreciate your feedback.

I was told by my uro at Wichita Urology that I would loose an inch. When I asked about infection he just shrugged and said it happened. He said he does 2-3 a year as does the other uro's in the group. I went to Kramer and lost just over a inch. KU med in KC has a implant specialist. He is ranked on Health Grades. All the uro's at Wichita Urology are not ranked as they do so few. Not sure how far you are from Wichita but I am near and if you or your friend would like to meet I would be willing to do so or send me a personal message and I'll get you my number and we can talk.

The 2 things at this point that are fore most to me is that 1. I wish I had local care but that was not possible and and follow up flights to Baltimore are expensive and 2. I avoided infection and that was the reason for my choice to travel.

Please let us know what he says about your lenght after implant and if he delivers. Thanks

You can count on it!

I went w/ Dr. Kramer. He suggested the AMS 700 LGX due to the 18-20% length/girth expansion capability. I started w/ 5.5" stretched flaccid. At this point (implanted 12/7/16), I've got 6.5" fully pumped, about 5.25" girth. Flights to Baltimore are relatively inexpensive & the hotels have special hospital discounts & all are on the shuttle service. Great experience & result...couldn't be happier...

I'm leaning Kramer since this is so important to me. I did speak with someone from his office who explained how they coordinate with my healthcare providers here for pre-op tests and post-op follow-up. She's going to send lodging recommendations. I also have a buddy who'd like an implant and shares my concerns. We just might travel together and do it the same day. How's that for male bonding? LOL! We'll see.

I ended up staying at the Hotel Indigo in downtown Baltimore...the hotels adjacent to the hospital were all booked up due to the annual Army/Navy football game. This is a cool rehabbed boutique-style hotel which also had a hospital discount & on the shuttle service...excellent restaurant on the premises & great room service: https://www.baltimoreindigohotel.com/

Nice! Thanks!

I've decided on Clay Mechlin, MD in Columbia, Missouri. I found him through the Coloplast website, where his practice is listed as a "Coloplast Center of Excellence." He's a high volume penile implant surgeon, and I received assurances that he will match the implant to my anatomy so I won't be short-changed. I've had several communications with his office and have become comfortable with my decision. I expressed all my concerns and they were very receptive and reassuring. Like with Dr. Kramer, I'll meet with Dr. Mechlin the day before surgery. His team will do some imaging and discuss the surgery with me. The next day I'll have the surgery, followed by bed rest at a hotel for a couple of days. He'll see me on Friday before I return home. Columbia is a four-and-a-half hour drive from Wichita, so I won't have to deal with the hassles and expenses of air travel. I found no posts discussing Dr. Mechlin on FrankTalk, so let's hope the surgery has a good outcome so we can add another surgeon to the list.

I had my implant surgery today.The surgeon, Clay Mechlin, MD of Columbia, Missouri, spoke with me a few minutes ago. He says this is the largest one he's ever done, hahaha! He used the biggest implant he's ever used on me, wow! He used a Coloplast Titan at 24 cm, plus a 1 cm extender. That's 9.8 inches! Of course, some of that is inside the body. But it sounds real encouraging! It looks awesome! I can't inflate it for a couple weeks. It appears nice and plump now, but he says it will be a lot bigger once healed and fully inflated.
