Jere's Journey

Postby jeremc » Fri Oct 05, 2012 10:23 am

Great News!

I got a call from my Urologist’s scheduling office yesterday afternoon. I’m scheduled for November 1st at 8’30 to get my LGX. I go in on the 17th for the blood work up. It will all happen at St. Francis in Memphis. So if your in the neighborhood, look me up.
I CAN’T WAIT AND AM SO EXCITED!
I will keep you posted as things move forward.
Thanks to all of you that have helped me get to this point. I'm very comfortable moving forward from what I have learned from you.

Hi Jere
Wat is your size now? Have you done any pre-op preparation with VED?
What is the reason you are getting an implant? A venous leak?

Thank you

Jere,
Congrats on your impending Implant ... I would recommend daily VED sessions until surgery. Keep us posted on your progress ...

On the advice of Bionic by AMS, I got a medical grade pump yesterday and have started using it. However, I have not lost any length. I just stopped taking pills and being very aggressive about the implant. My size is always been 6.25 X 5.25. I will post a more in-depth story soon. Thanks guys!

Great news Jere! I have been waiting a month and my surgery is Tuesday at 7:30am. Talked to surgeon today . He calmed some of my anxiety but I am still very nervous. Will be glad when it is over. He gave me script for antibiotics and hydrocodone so he must think the pain is not going to be great and I hope he is right I've never had pain any worse than a headache so I am not sure how I will handle real pain. Will keep everyone posted as soon as I am able! Good luck and start pumping soon. Jim

The pain shouldn'tbe too bad. My surgery was aborted but the doctor did a reamer job on some bladder and urethral scar tissue for me instead. I have been dealing with a catheter since Monday pm. Some discomfort, but not near enough for any kind of pain medication.

With this as a reference point I am willing to guess that your pain will not be awful.

Congratulations Jere on your upcoming Penile Implant Procedure.
I was implanted with the Coloplast Titan in December 2007 after developing ED Post-Prostatectomy in 2004.
The Implant completely corrected my ED and restored both my sex life and the emotional intimacy with my wife of 45 years.
I wish the same for you.
Please keep us posted on your progress.

Bob

Well Jere, I am jealous. I don't have a surgery date anymore. Met one, met problems, now waiting for 10/9/2012 to get rid of this snake (catheter) that crawled up my penis and get a surgery date.

If all goes as expected (and for me that is a big if) I will get a date in early November but probably not as early as 11/1. I hope the surgeon doesn't decide to wait until I can have the implant for a birthday present.

I am wishing you the best from the middle of Tennessee, good luck and hard times.

Sorry to hear about the complications you ran into. Sounds like this can be corrected over time and you can get your implant. Hang in there, we’re all standing by your side. Are you in Cordova?
Thanks for you support!

Not now, I am north of Nashville in the countryside. About halfway between Nashville and Bowling Green, KY
