Unlucky 1-2%. Surgery tomorrow. Only choice to make is Coloplast malleable for time being or Titan.

Wish me luck.

Wish me luck.

Note. I was activated Thursday and everything looked normal. Swelling, soreness, and low grade fever Friday. Going to hospital shortly to start antibiotics.

I'm keeping positive as I can, but please: if you have symptoms of infection doctor or emergency room ASAP. It can move fast.

Good luck, hope you get it all cleared up in no time.

Good luck, Courage. Hope you feel better. It will be all cleared up and you will only come out stronger.

Best wishes Courage !

Yikes!

Best of luck and keep us posted! Fingers crossed for you!

Thanks, guys.

Damn, brother
Same thing happened to me 2 or 3. weeks out, was put on antibiotics and Dr was stressed about it but I didn’t want to revision. The pills worked and didn’t have to have the malliable placed. Tg
Good luck, so sorry. I blame the hospital, covid time and staff was non normal and my guess not as clean as it should have been.
Sending healing thoughts to you

I'm deeply sorry Courage, I wish you the best, I hope everything goes well this time

I’m so sorry this happened.

I too was infected after having an IPP Coloplast put in on October 28, 2024. I went through a salvage malleable Rigicon which was placed on December 6. I’ve healed up, no further problems, and am using the malleable. I am considering going back to an IPP due to a bit of size loss (surgeons are more conservative with sizing the malleables) but may stick with the malleable depending on field testing.

My point is there is hope. You will get through this. PM me if you want to chat.
