Surgery is 2 weeks out, and the emotions are running wild

[JohnDoe]

Hello all,

So after jumping through all the hoops, insurance requirements, and other nonsense, I'm scheduled for my surgery on May 8th. A couple of weeks back I posted a question about insurance, and during that time my confidence was quite high. I had no fear at all. I'm still at a point where I'm not scared of the procedure, but a lot of doubt has kept into my mind now that I have a date set. Why am I doing this? Is it worth it? What will the outcome be? Will it alleviate all the anxiety and depression I have over sex. The endless chatter going through my mind is making me a little crazy.

I've selected a Center of Excellence in Sacramento, and feel great about that decision. I really like the surgeon, and she has years of experience. I will most likely be implanted with an AMS 700CX. I'm not sure if I even have any questions at this point because I've stalked this website for months. I guess I'm using this as an opportunity to share that I had no clue how emotional this decision really is for people. For all of those out there who have gone on this journey, kudos to you.

Thank you for letting me vent.

JohnDoe, I went thru the same thing and I think most guys do. There are no guarantees in life ( besides death and taxes ), but by now you know that overall implants have a very high satisfaction rating -- which I interpret as success in restoring the ability to have sex. As you've likely read in this forum, its not perfect, and things can go wrong. But, they've been doing this for decades, and perform 20,000 to 30,000 implants annually. If implants didn't have a high success ratio I think that would be evident by now.

I'm 4 months post-op and it has been a godsend for my wife and I. I had an unusually rough recovery, and more than once thought "what on earth did I let them do to me". But now, I would choose to do it over and over again after experiencing what's on the other side . I'm not crazy about living with a pump in my scrotum. But, its a small price to pay for an on-demand, reliable, non-stop, worry-free, hard erection that really is next level stuff

I'll give you my answers to your questions.

I was getting an implant to have a sex life again. I wanted to be rid of the dark cloud of inadequacy that hung over my whole life. I wanted to have healthier relationships with those close to me.

Getting the implant has been 100% worth it. My insurance covered the procedure, so I wasn't out any money. And, compared to the mental and emotional anguish I'd been experiencing for years, the few months of recovery were a breeze.

The outcome has been far better than I imagined. I can fuck whenever and however either I or my wife want. Our relationship is much better now that we can have good sex. Overall, I have much more happiness and peace in my life. I'm much more confident now. And I have a more positive outlook on my future.

Absolutely, the implant has relieved my unhappiness and anxiety about sex. I walk around knowing I can give any woman I see and find attractive a good, hard fuck. I flirt with women now, rather than shy away from them, even though I don't plan on cheating on my wife. When my wife is ready for sex, I don't have to perform a rigid set of moves just to, hopefully, stay hard.

I hope this helps.

Hi. I am almost 3 weeks post op. Let me tell you a little story that I think will help.

At the end of the first week post op, I was feeling considerably less pain and discomfort, and the gf and I were talking about some of the sexual activities we were going to do once fully healed when an amazing thing happened!

I became aroused, with that great tingly feeling you get, both in my mind, and in and around my penis. I did not get an erection, ( of course) but I think the head of my penis got a little chubby. I certainly had the desire to be touched and stroked ( we resisted the urge, too early), but I did touch and stroke her, to climax, much to her delight!

I DID NOT have any thoughts or fears that I wasn’t going to be able to get erect! That black cloud that has hovered over every sexual encounter I’ve had over the past 10 years is now gone! All I was thinking about was what you normally think about when having sex.

No one, including me, wants to have surgery, but I am absolutely 100% sure I made the right decision, and I’m pretty sure you will too!

John, I'm sure everyone who has had this surgery had concerns. I had the surgery just a week ago. In terms of pain and recovery so far, I'm doing really well. As for the rest, as the guy wrote before, there are very high satisfaction rates and there are many satisfied people on this site, so if you need to, just do it. Two weeks before the surgery, I kept myself busy with a million things and watched series on Netflix. I tried to think about the surgery as little as possible, it would be fine. successfully.
