Wow Alibaba, I just watched your surgery and it seemed that he man-handled (Pun here) you way more than he did me. Maybe he just knew that I was a sissy. We ended up with the same size implants but mine is an LGX and I have noticed that the girth could be better but it is good as done. I hope that you and wife are pleased with the results. Good luck and I will b e that you have no trouble traveling just don't try to go too fast yet.
wishing you Good luck and great healing
Dave

Steeler, I've got a little swelling in my scrotum I did not have with Milam. That was one thing Milam right on me. I could feel the pump, skin slack and all with Milam. As you know everything else sucked! The swelling I have I would call minimal. I have not taken any pain meds and though there are tender places I am quite comfortable. I have not been feeling around but taking out cathetor, taking off gauze wrap, athletic supporter and such you bump things. Here are some pictures how things look. I think they look quite nice.
You are correct about nice. I have not met one nasty person here and I visit with everyone. At the airport, on train, on sidewalk, in restaurants, in hospital. If it were not for expense I would love to come back to visit. There is a lot of quality built into this old town.People and infrastructure. They have had 200 years to get it right. I would say fix it sooner than later. Kramer said and the video states it would have take 4 additional hours surgery to deal with the scar tissue that has grown since the Milam hack job. Cheers man. I hope you and the other guy both can get these things fixed.

WilliamB, both of us could not be happier at this point. I had issues with the other implant from the time I woke up in the room and could not even get an answer more than "you have an appointment with a nurse practioner in 2 weeks". Everything that was an issue for me then is not now. Looks good and I am comfortable for the first time in 13 months 16 days.
I am certain he had a student or resident working too. If you notice, the hands move a little slower than his tend too in other videos as if a person is taking a little extra care, or at least I noticed this at one point. Need to watch it again now I more awake.
Keep on doing well. Cheers.

Steelerfanintn2 , I have to say the catheter experience with Milam was the first painful catheter I ever had and I've had them in as long as 2 weeks in other surgeries. I was inpainful hell and weeks before my urethra quit hurting. This one was a noticeable but did not hurt. Had to take it slow and stop a couple times removing it because it burned and hurt some but that is now good. Burned first time I peed and bled a little but not the second time. I know DonBecker had the same hell with the Milam catherer I did as did others.
