Hey guys,
I'm dealing with insane anxiety about:
1. the possibility of size loss due to my member being COMPLETELY DEAD with 0 bloodflow for a few months. i was only around 5.5 inches before, i'm very very worried i'll be like 4.5 after all is said and done
2. the possibility of the implant causing problems to my pf (I'm worried about this possibility because right now getting erections and sexual activity actually cause pf problems - if I am cycling my implant i am worried that this will keep happening)
3. just how damn unsettling the physical sensations are in my penis and pelvic floor. we were not meant to go through this evolutionarily speaking, it's triggering fight/flight
the above is honestly the only thing i can think about atm. can anyone give anecdotes (like if anyone had the above worries that were eventually invalidated), or words of encouragement, anything. I am set up to see Dr. Eid, i'm just waiting for the appt.
Can anyone out there help with the insane anxiety I am feeling

I can't help your anxiety, but you really must use a VED to prevent size loss before getting implanted.

I have had a video visit with Dr. Eid and I found him to be very reassuring while realistic -- calmed me down immeasurably.
He will inject you prior to the procedure and guarantee that your injected length will be maintained (which is not the case with many other uros).
He is most definitely among the very best. I am going forward with him and I hope you can too!

Re: Can anyone out there help with the insane anxiety I am feeling
will a generic VED i find off Amazon for $30 work, at least for a little while?
also will a VED/injection work with the brand of ED i have, which is a physical injury that is partially(?) blocking bloodflow? is an injection or ved more effective?

I didn't use the generic VED, but I know others have.

Knowledge is power and dispels fear. Action dispels depression.
Fight size loss by emulating the erections you now no longer get at night by use of a Vacuum Erection Device (VED). Twice-dailyl 30 minute sesssions have been shown to reduce or prevent (and even possibly restore recently lost) size loss.
A cheap VED can provide the same vacuum that an expensive medical grade VED c\does. The difference is in ease of use, durability, applicaton of constriction rings (Rings are not used for therapeutic VED use) and other details. But a vacuum is a vacuum and your penis will not care how it is achieved as long as the seal around the base of your penis is comfortable.
