My implants been broken for two years now

Postby Pamen116 » Thu May 09, 2024 4:03 pm

Maybe a bit longer. I’ve since been religiously using VED and a stretching device to combat any shrinkage.


I finally got insurance this month only to find out I’m not covered. I spoke with Clavells office, Cigna, my HR department and it’s a hard no from everyone.

Yesterday I went to healthcare.gov to see if I can get United Healthcare or Humana as I’ve heard they don’t give physicians much issues with survey approvals and guess what? I’m not eligible…. I’ll have to try again in October


I don’t have money for surgery unfortunately., otherwise I’d use it. I guess during these 2 years I’ve grown lonely and depressed but I’ve learned how to look past it with hopes for the future surgery.


Anyways just venting.
If you have any advice I’d love to listen.

How do the cylinders feel? Loose and squishy or are they tight and hard?

Can you use for example MA insurance in texas? I do not know much about health system in USA sorry. Mass free insurances are pretty good as I heard. You may try maybe?

Try getting surgery done in another country. Coloplast and AMS have international warranty. The cost of surgeon and hospital will be much cheaper outside USA.

The answer to soft and squishy question, yes mine are. Titan coloplast, mine failed in March of this year. I am in the process of talking to urologist about the revision. I do hope you can find a surgeon to take you, or travel outside the US.
