Hello guys! Just a quick question. I'm in Europe (Italy) so the answer could differ, but i would like to know:
How much time did you wait from the day your implant stopped working to the day you got it replaced?
Thanks!

That hasn't happened to me yet thankfully, but I envision duration of downtime for my future implant failure will between the moment of failure, until the next open enrollment period for my work's insurance, so I can take the maximum option for my flexible spending account. That is unless I have some sort of situation where I've already had some high-dollar out-of-pocket costs in the same year and then it would be as soon as possible BEFORE my next open enrollment.
Conceivably I could wait as much as a full year in my vision of what the future might hold. That is if it fails before I turn 65 (in five years). If mine lasts for the next five years, I may opt to do Medicare with supplemental insurance and drop my employer sponsored insurance. In that case it would be ASAP, period.

Re: Replacement wait time
It is my understanding & I can easily be mistaken on this. Generally they want to see a 6 month wait from the last penile surgery. So, if you've had an implant for lets say 1 year. A revision could be done as soon as all the parties are ready. I.E. insurance, doctors & facilities.
Just from memory. I think I've read about several members that basically describe their revision along this time line.

When I thought I was short sized, both my doctor and Allen Morey told my specifically that 3 months was the wait before they would do a revision. It could be that in my case that they both just happen to practice the same timeline.
