Thanks for the encouraging words, Larry.

Turns out I've been told to now arrive at 5:30 a.m. on Monday with surgery at 7:30 a.m.

Some poor soul must have chickened out. I've heard that a lot of guys cancel at the last minute.

Hopefully, I'll be home by noon!

73. Implant was scheduled for 12/3/18, with Dr. Carrion, Tampa, FL, until I was switched to a rookie surgeon at the last minute without notice or explanation. Obviously, I canceled the surgery. Sorry I picked Carrion in the first place.

If the heart specialists gave the green light, you should be just fine for the surgery. You will be sore the day of the surgery, but by the following day the pain will start going away. Just have some ice packs to keep the swelling down for a few days. You will like the results of having a bionic dick again. :lol:

My personal experience has been horrendous. I would not at this point recommend for any guy to do it.
44 yr. Old. White male. Average size. Healthy, Dr. Goldenberg, implanted nov. 13th 2018. Worst decision ever. Was adamant lgx, but dr. Decided cx when under. 1 cylinder 14 mm short. Buckling since day of surgery, whether flaccid or erect.

I have HIV, high blood pressure, enlarged ventrical (common on testosterone therapy and other health issues. Countless doctors refused to implant me saying I was a high infection risk and other excuses. Dr. Eid and Dr. Kramer both told me that most people requiring an implant have a long list of health issues which are why they need it. Most are also elderly. They both say they are so used to these health issues that they really are no issue to them most of the time. Surgery wise, I would consider the implant relatively minor surgery to some I have had and certainly to your heart surgery. If your doctor agrees to it AND anesthesiologist who it the one responsible for keeping you alive during surgery, you should be good. Make sure they know everything so there are no surprises. 1/2 the issues that pop up are due to a patient who did not want to tell their doctor or anesthesiologist something like they popped some Cialis for one last fling at 2 a.m. night before or forgot to suspend a certain med.
