I was implanted one month ago, 10/28/19 so I'm on post-op day 31 now. The doctor only said I got an AMS 700 CX. My wallet card shows the CX 15cm with 65ml spherical reservoir. Nowhere does the card, nor did the doctor say that I have any RTEs added so until I'm told otherwise, I believe I received only the 15cm (5.9") AMS 700CX.
I started developing pain and curvature from Peyronie's starting in 1995, and it curved sharply to the right, then through my own remodeling, it started to straighten up a bit but still had an hourglass on the right side and an up-turn at 2/5ths distance from the glans. After about 5-8 years of pain and frustration due to inability to navigate things properly, I distanced myself romantically and sexually from my wife.
In May of this year after circumstances permitted a financial (insurance) ability to have my issues corrected, I scoured the web for implant information and watched many implant surgery videos on YouTube in an effort to decide if this was the right move for me. Surprisingly, I watched the videos objectively and clinically without the slightest cringe. I then sought out a urologist and told him with my Peyronie's scarring and my ED, and that I wanted an implant.
He first prescribed Cialis 20mg "On Demand" dosage. I tried it once or twice but the headaches weren't worth the trouble and I still had severe hinging at the base due to extensive scarring in that location, making penetration impossible. I started cutting the Cialis into quarter doses and started taking the 5mg daily dose which reduced the headaches but did no better for penetration. Finally after about a month of Cialis with no success, the doctor was willing to move on to the implant surgery.
To follow are some photos of my journey since June this year (2019) through today (11/28/19), 31 days after implant surgery.
