Is it time for an implant? Opinions welcomed

[David_R]

If you can afford it use Kramer of Baltimore and he should be able to save more than your typical surgeon. If you use a local guy figure an inch gone forever over night.

Other good urologists (like mine) didn't cause me to lose any length (after regular cycling), and I didn't have to go to Kramer or to Eid.

David that's welcome news that I'm sure many would like to know. Question: How long after you started cycling did it take you to regain? a month or many months. I'm just trying to figure out how much was from the LGX magical length growing. Thanks

Doug, I didn't regain everything for quite some time -- certainly not in a month. I hate to say that dreaded word, but it takes patience. (Sorry.)

That is the absolute truth !!!

The only difference is that while MANY other surgeons often give great results, and while some other surgeons consistently give great results, you are taking a greater calculated risk than you would with a well-known, very high-volume, surgeons with stellar reputations. You have a good chance of winning against those odds. It just depends on how risk adverse you are. The forum is full of examples of men who rolled the dice and were beaten by the odds. There are even some that were beaten and do not realize it because they have nothing to compare it to. It is better than what they had so they are happy.

S T O P!!!!

There are MANY great surgeons out there. Stop insinuating that going to anyone other than Kramer or Eid is a disaster waiting to happen. YES they are good doctors... They DO make mistakes and their shit does stink and they do put their pants on one leg at a time like all the others. My doctor, Donnie's doctor, Greg1956 doctor, Maxxxx's doctor, all great doctors but not Kramer or Eid. STOP, STOP, STOP. I am NOT GOING TO SAY IT AGAIN.

Larry, maybe you did not read my post ??? " there are other "surgeons that consistently get great results". Are you asking me to stop suggesting that high volume surgeons give you increased odds ????

Seems like this forum is full of guys that needed pump placement revisions from Kramer. I was not read to fly back across the country to see a stellar surgeon AGAIN. Some very good surgeons on the west coast.

It is completely unfair to suggest that every surgeon is going to cut you short. Do what I did ask him or her to show you, stretch you out before hand to the length you will be. Then go home do the same stretch and measure it. Before surgery remind your doc that you measured what he showed you and it was X"s. That you expect that or more within 6 months time.
To meet their mark they only need to pump you up before they close and measure the outside pube to tip. It's being done the world over. If they have evenly placed your tips within about 1mm then have them leave you about 50% pumped for 2 or 3 weeks and your flaccid length will become the same as your erection because of scarring.
Very simple method but few know it. Most are afraid of trying new things for your own safety. I don't blame them. Too much risk! Do you want to be their experiment? Probably not.
You need to have 2 or 3 essentials and make sure that they are able to meet them. For me it was length and even tips. I got one out of two but even that was a compromise. That's ok. Works well for me.

I am about 90 percent, i am headed for an implant. I agree there are probably good local doctors. Wish i knew how to find one in Kentucky. Going to Ohio in 2 weeks for another opinion. Will see how that goes and answers to my questions.. Realize all docs have a bad day but if i have to end up traveling, i am getting the best one i can find. Atlanta, miami, chicago, houston new york, ca, orlando, all have one with good positive reviews, along with some negative ones. Luckily my insurance gives me the option to go where i feel most comfortable.

Sitting in kentucky puts me smack in the middle of most of USA. You query top implant docs, very few come up on google. Go to coloplast or ams for list. Google those and get little info on their implant practice, but a lot on their other surgery techniques. The further i get from me the better the implant information gets on docs. I agree there are probably good docs close, probably great docs close to me. Wish i could find one. Make my wife a lot happier.

My main issue is if i have to travel, i want one who does a lot of these and has dealt with peyronies issues as well. They might f it up but if they do i will be in the very small percentage of the one they screwed up on. It might suck for me. Odds though are on my side going to a doc who specializes mostly in implants will get me a satisfactory result whoever that is. In the end i want my hard dick back.

I would fly to NY from Kentucky. Eid makes it very easy to do by yourself. All the needed infrastructure is there. Some book first class for the trip home.
