She says the surgery is too expensive if the insurance doesn't pay for it and how i'm putting my family in debt and not leaving them a legacy. I don't even have a car! I have a good job and pay for everything, she doesn't even work! Would she say the same thing if i was buying a car? Ugh, i swear if i didn't have kids and had money to leave i would.

Regardless, i'll continue to fight this on my own I don't care. Only God can help me if he wants to now. I told her i can't live like this, and i won't.

Anyway, did you have a video consultation with Eid yet? When are you planning to go to NYC?
I'm from LA and am planning to go to NYC in 2 months. He wants to see me himself and diagnose me before proceeding to plan the implant. That means I have to make at least two trips to NYC? What about you is the implant scheduled or will you also have to make two trips?

The flights to NYC don't seem too expensive, but getting around in NYC is expensive and the hotels are also. I'm trying to figure out how to get money just to do that.
You have the most experienced doctor in the world in your back yard at USC/Keck. Dr Boyd did over 200 a year and has been doing them for 30 years. He has authored many Papers on the subject and is the go to guy for reconstruction after gun shot wounds in LA. He recently retired but still assists on Tuesdays with Dr Loh-Doyle. I was also planning a trip east when I found Dr Boyd. He was second on my AUS operation last week and he told me he came out of retirement because he missed the enjoyment of helping guys like us. He loves his work, but does not advertise. You will find no better hospital care anywhere.
PM me for more info on Dr Boyd and USC/Keck medicine.

Yes, that can be an issue. I think Karpman prefers the pubic method. He says that he uses Coloplast & AMS IPP's.
Dr. Brant in SLC does scrotal but he only uses AMS.
Just throwing a few closer to home ideas your way. But if they don't fit your plans then I can understand not using them. Wish you good luck.

@LBC2020

Did you get your testosterone and other hormones checked by Dr. Goldstein? Did you do testosterone treatment or other DHT treatment/gel? Do you think it was a waste of time if you did?

I'm considering talking that that doctor since he seems like an expert in PFS. It would just be a quick drive to San Diego for me, but not sure if it's even worth it.

Just curious, thanks.
