My Implant Story

[crazyjoe]

I thought I would add my implant story to the host of others on this Forum.

I received mine 10 days ago from Dr. Eid. My recovery was amazingly easy right from the start and up to this day. I had no swelling, bruising, or pain. I was able to cycle easily in three days and feel right on the road to resuming sexual activity in 11 days. I cannot imagine an easier recovery.

He also cleared me for exercise biking -- it's on a real bike with a noseless seat. I hopped on it yesterday and it felt fine.

I did lose about 3/4" from Dr. Eid's guarantee which was disheartening. He indicated he encountered a lot of scarring which hampered the procedure, though he did take the cylinders right into the glans. All that scarring was attributable to Trimix injections over just 8 months -- maybe only 40 injections. He says the Papaverine ingredient in Trimix leads to scarring and venous leakage -- the venous leakage necessitating stronger and stronger dosages. I will hope to regain some of that loss through aggressive cycling, although Dr. Eid is not a believer that cycling helps to regain length.

All in all, my experience has been very positive -- I found Dr. Eid to be the consummate pro, as many others have testified. I attribute my easy recovery entirely to his expertise.
Happy to respond to any questions.

Congratulations! Through consistent, aggressive cycling in the coming months, you will probably recover that lost length.

Congrats and welcome to the club. Great to hear you healed so fast with very little pain. My implant was the total opposite. Enjoy your new friend.

thanks Steve -- and my thanks to all the guys on FT who have shared their experiences -- greatly helped in preparing me for my procedure.

curious, how long did it take between when you first talked to dr eid and when you had the surgery? I had my initial FaceTime meeting with dr eid 2 1/2 weeks ago and nothing so far from his office.
thanks

well after I had my telemed, I was scheduled for the following month but I had to cancel that due to Covid there.

But when I rescheduled I believe it was no more than 5-6 weeks wait.

Are you talking with his staff -- namely Janice who does his scheduling and is very nice and helpful?

[sarasota]

yes, talked to Janice this mid week to get an update but she just must have been very busy. no real update.

[crazyjoe]

Wow, Business must have really picked up since the Covid relief! Don’t be afraid to be persistent in calling or emailing her and I am sure she will respond.

Congratulations Crazyjoe!

Glad you healed up quickly, it took me longer but wasn’t too bad.

He also cleared me for exercise biking -- it's on a real bike with a noseless seat. I hopped on it yesterday and it felt fine.

I did get back on my road bike at week 5, but I had too much discomfort. I ordered a different saddle (Easy Seat II made by Hobson) I got back on the bike at week 7 with the new saddle and put 250 miles on that saddle but I hated the sit bone position on the no nose saddle. I returned that saddle to Amazon and took a chance and put my ISM PL 1.1 saddle back on my bike, it is considered a no nose saddle, I think because of the of the opening at the front, I’ve put 650 miles and no problems, glad to be back on the bike and getting my form back.

I hope that you gain your lost length by aggressive device cycling, I’m hoping too as well. I’m not sure of my youthful length, because I never documented it, but after total ED from prostrate Rezum procedure in May, I started using a VED and I could get 6 1/8”, after the implant when I started cycling, I initially got 5 1/4”, but now almost 4 months out, I’m at 5 3/4”. I hope to gain a little more but I’m happy with the results and glad that I can have sex again.

Looking forward to more of your updates.
