Getting close

Postby owasso » Mon Jun 09, 2025 5:07 pm

I’m going to try and schedule for latter part of year, still looking for encouragement. I have dealt with ed for years and have been using Trimix, I now have a noticeable curve, consulted with surgeon in Houston, he seems to think the implant will straighten the curve, will be going to Houston, I guess I have concerns over implant failure and losing size, looking for feedback.

I have a bit of curvature that set in after I started using Trimix. My surgeon said that it might suggest use of an AMS CX instead of an LGX, but he’d make the call after surgery starts. He said that if curvature is significant sometimes an LGX doesn’t straighten it out but can make it worse. I’m confident he will make the right call.

As to failure, failure rates are low enough for me to take the risk. As to size, I’d rather stop the ongoing atrophy from ED, and deal with a temporary loss of size than to live with a broken dick. Size loss can be recovered, especially with the LGX.

Good luck with your journey! The guys on Franktalk are a great support system.
RP 2012, fought ED with viagra and cialis for years then switched to trimix for 3 years. Then scar tissue settled in. Now fighting atrophy with a VED and getting ready for an AMS700 in Sept.
