Surgery confirmed for April 14. Is the wave of anxiety normal?

[Lawrence13]

Dr. Eid’s office confirmed today my insurance authorized full coverage and my surgery date is locked in for April 14.

I have experienced a wave of emotion and anxiety. Did anyone else deal with anxiety and fear in the lead up to surgery?

My fear of living more of my life not feeling whole outweighs the fear I’m feeling now. However, I must admit I am quite scared. I also feel sorrow/ mourning the loss of my natural erection forever( even though it’s already limited). Being only 38 years old and doing this is hitting me hard.


Just basically want to know if anyone else experienced fear and sorrow once surgery was confirmed and how they dealt with it.

Hey, congratulations on scheduling! have an appointment coming up with Dr. Eid too, thanks to this bionic brotherhood. I think he will make you feel better. I’ve got a trillion questions written down. What insurance did you have that approved the surgery?

I 100% had nerves and anxiety in the weeks leading up. It’s absolutely normal man!

And the sorrow too, I know where you’re coming from - it’s an emotional rollercoaster. I remember feeling like I was leaving behind my penis as I’d known it basically my whole life leading up to that point!

Thanks for the reply. When I got the call today from the office today it was surreal. Like I knew I was going to do it…… but knowing it’s scheduled and paid for just took it to another level. I suppose overcoming this fear is what must be done for a chance at changing our lives for the better.

Hey Jonny. It means a lot to hear from someone in my relative age group who is recently on the other side of taking the plunge. How’s the healing coming? How are you feeling about your decision?

It’s been all over the map man. I have a journal I’ve been keeping - it’s long as hell but it documents my experience and mindset in GREAT detail throughout.

Here’s the link to that if any of it is helpful for you!

My overall healing has been very good. I still have some pain and soreness but it’s pretty much EXCLUSIVELY from fabric and clothing pushing on sore spots.

The emotional journey has been nuts, it was especially tough in the first few weeks!

I don’t regret my choice at all - I knew I wanted to do this after YEARS and YEARS of ED. I haven’t even used my implant yet for sex and I still feel this way. I’m really grateful that I did this for myself.
