I also got, i think, my last copay bill from anasthesiologist.

Doctor was 5,400. My part 290.
Hospital was 70,000. My part 350.
Anasthesia 1,300. My part 52

Total co pay around 700.

Not sure why my part of copay insurance estimate was 2,700 before surgery.

Bill for or was 20,000 of hospital cost. Most of hospital and doctor was written off due to negotiated amount with bcbs.

Hope i get no more bills. If this was self pay you would definitely have to make sure all this was negotiated up front to keep from getting a big surprise, or make sure you did not have any part done in an actual hospital to keep costs down. A surgery center should be definitely cheaper.

[Stepone]

Congratulations on your 8 month conquest. You should be a porn writer, lol. I am very happy for you and your wife. Thanks for sharing, as it helps all of us celebrate.

[Hawk]

I'm glad the family did not crash the party.

I am so happy for both of you.  Your experience was exactly as expected right down to the soreness and having to relax the scrotum in the shower to deflate.  After I could not deflate the first time after sex without sitting in hot water to relax, I took 15 minutes to educate myself on the pump position standing up and laying flat and made mental notes of my hand position and reference points.  I never had another issue after that.

From here everything just gets better and better.  Welcome to the club of the Bionic Brotherhood and congratulation to your wife on having a mate that is a new "male 2.0 upgrade".  She will find it to be a clear improvement over "male 1.0"  She has to keep you now because she will never settle for a regular guy

You will soon begin to notice a positive psychological change in yourself in little every-day issues apart from when you are having sex.  Just knowing that you are always packing a 100% reliable piece transforms a guy mentally regardless of your age, your relationship status, or other factors.

PS: You are to be commended for being able to continue after a climax on your first run.  The discomfort must have been pretty manageable to pull that off!  I am pretty sure I could not have done that on my first run on day 21.

[Hawk]

One other thing, your inflated angle is almost certainly going to drop.  I would not do anything to force it at this point.

[SW01]

I would never have normally been this graphic but felt it was important to put in a few specific details to let someone know how things went.

No issues really. Just a bit sore because it was to much for the first time. This might not be the norm for a lot of people but it was for us so it can be very positive. So much better than dealing with a curved bent penis with hourglass dents.

No pills. No injections. Ved never worked for me ever for sex. Just reach down and squeeze a tiny bulb. If i want to or she wants to just get right to it.

Utterly fin amazing. Probably not post anything for awhile. Just letting these cylinders soften and mostly keep pointing up for now.

Off to nashville in the motor coach for a long weekend. Hit a few clubs for some drinks and dancing and more sex definitely.

Have fun everyone. I think everyone knows my opinion by now on the implant. I would have done it the week after i foubd out i had a venous leak. Just wish it had not taken me over 2 years to find a doc to check for it.

My 2 cents. If a doc prescribes you viagra because you are just old and he does not listen to you when you say this is not normal for you. Make him check you for blood flow in and out. If he wont find one who will.

I am certain i injured myself causing peyronies trying to have sex with prescribed viagra. Shoving a somewhat soft dick into a tight p~$$% is a recipe for disaster. If he had checked me in the first month after i fell. I would have moved straight to an implant if i realistically had no other options. 2.5 years misery saved along with an inch of length. I might get that back over time. Might not. But 2.5 years ago before peyronies i would have kept it all with an implant then.

Everyone take care. Will post if something comes up or when these cylinders soften up to be more comfortable to give everyone another reference point.

[Stepone]

Thanks for your post. It is so meaningful to me. It helps me with my doubts about my decision for my implant next week. I can’t change the past and am looking forward to the future. Your openness and sharing has definitely helped me feel better about my decision. Thanks

[pfract]

Thank you once again for posting your diary here and all the pictures you shared. It's always nice reading a success story and then seeing that person go back to enjoying his life again. Best of luck with it, and thank you for the motivation. We'll be here. 

[SW01]

7 weeks tomorrow and thought I would make a couple observations. Still have had no real issues at all. Pumped up sex has been great. Inflate deflate no issues wherever whenever.

Fully pumped still get some pain in the glans from the tips but not bad at all. Length is just over 6 so doing good there so far. Girth has gotten a smidge over 5 so it is getting better. When I am horny and into sex it is well over 5 otherwise it hovers around the 5 mark.

Must say I am still a bit achy in the lower glans area. Feeling around in the scrotum I can feel the tubes but no issues with them actively protruding. Nothing real noticeable.

Pump is sitting low and  between the two permanent residents. I did ask my wife to feel around and see what she thought. Whether just from being together 40 years or whatnot, pump is readily identifiable as a hard object in my sac she said. It does draw up though against my body though during sex and would make it harder to find and my testicles hang lower. No idea why.

Might be wishful thinking but I think my curve is getting better little by little. Not bad by any means. Nothing even close to a banana shape.

Pump up once a day for about 45 minutes while watching tv.

Fully pumped I am still at 1 o clock and not pushing it down. Hit the deflate button for a couple seconds and squeeze my penis and it goes right down and pretty much stays that way. I might have to squeeze it in the morning and once during the day but it is not Inflating by any measurable amount.

Hangs down now pretty much at 4.30 or so all the time and sits there pretty well. In pants it still migrates down one pant leg or the other if I move around much.

One thing. Spring chores started and mowing on the zero turn or tractor is fine sitting in a seat. Riding my ATV is a bit uncomfortable though. Straddling the seat is not painful but I can feel the pump bulb and after an hour or so I have to get off. No way I could sit on a bike seat.

Walking is fine. 3 to 4 miles 3 times a week and starting back on weights pretty good. Laying off on situps and crunches though right now.

Still happy. No wtf moments.

Take care everyone.

[TonySa]

Sounding great!

[Stepone]

Many thanks again for your reporting on your progress. Up early this morning and then off to the hospital for the install of my device. I’ll try to post pics tomorrow if I can.

[SW01]

8 weeks here and getting a lot more comfortable. I am also becoming more knowledgeable about where things are and how it feels totally pumped up.

First some observations. I still have a slight curve to the left when flaccid but nothing very bad st all. Pumped up it is there as well but ever so slight. Pump button is still sitting facing forward and shifts from straight out to about 45 degrees toward my right leg. Flaccid and putting a cloth tape on my penis I am right at 6 inches from bone to tip. This is longer by one inch from my old size flaccid.

Pumped up i am at my pre surgery stretch length of 6.25 long. Very happy with that. Not sure my wife would notice another quarter inch or so am not worrying about any more. If it gets longer so be it. Definitely happy and not becoming preoccupied with that.

I spent almost three years pretty much preoccupied with my penis and what it would not do, and worrying about what I could do about it.  Not any more. Sex, is really good. A couple times a week for us so I still pump it up every day in addition for now. Amazing how quick we got back into it and she instigates as much as me even with her health issues.

Pump is pretty soft. I can definitely feel the cylinder folds when deflated but no big deal really. Hang about 4.30 and sits on top of my sac so no big deal there. Deflate button is great. Press it for a couple seconds. Squeeze penis and it goes down and stays that way till I pump it back up.

I am still experiencing a little tenderness at the very bottom of my penis at the top of the scrotum and still a bit numb there. Feeling is pretty much coming back everywhere else. I fo find after sex I do get sore but figure that is normal.

I can feel the tubing in the top of my scrotum and on right side of my penis under the fat pad going to reservoir. I am pretty lean though so that might be normal. 6 foot around 180 pounds.

No real issues so far. Just getting more and more used to the titan. My only issue so far has been riding my ATV and pulling a mower. For some reason the pump continuously moves under me and gets uncomfortable when I sit on it.. I have to pull it forward and lay it more in front of me.

Hope everyone else is doing well with no issues.

[pfract]

So glad to hear you are doing well, and that above all else you have not lost any size!

[Stepone]

Thanks for sharing and congratulations on your accomplishments.
I had implant 7 days ago and noticed I have a tube on left side under fat pad near scrotum too. I am 6’2”, 160, and mine doesn’t show either, but I can feel it.
Glad to hear about your size changes, it will be something I can strive for.
I have some questions,  I haven’t started pumping yet, I meet with my doctor Next Tuesday. But my question is about the pump release. I can feel the slightly rounded up dimple on the pump. When you press it, does it snap or press inward? How do you know when you press it? Does it auto deflate and how do you know when it’s all deflated?
Thanks and congratulations again!

[SW01]

Well 3.5 months since the titan was implanted. Things went pretty smoothly and still are. I am still inflating daily for at least thirty minutes or so.

Fully inflated I am at 6.25 inches. Seems to have leveled off there so will just have to see if any additional gains over the next year. When aroused I have a very hard glans so no issues there.

Right after surgery I still had a very slight curve just below the glans. That is pretty much gone. No dents are showing at all and I cannot find any plaque in the shaft. They have to be there somewhere I guess but I cannot feel them.

When pumped up I am pointing out at pretty much 3 o clock and can now bend it down if needed for different positions. Sex, feels normal and my orgasms are no different than years ago. Can now change positions for sure without worrying about losing an erection.

Pump deflate button is still pointing straight out which I actually like. I can easily reach it with either thumb. Push button and I immediately deflate whether i squeeze or not. I squeeze just to fully deflate and get a lower hang around 4.30.

Flaccid I come in around 5.75 inches and only expand another .5 inches. I always was about 5 inch flaccid anyway so really no big change for me. Tips are good in the glans. I can definitely feel them and the folds.

My only issue is that after all my swelling went down I can feel the tubes at the bottom of my shaft on the right side above my testicles obviously going to pump and reservoir. No real issue but noticeable when getting oral. Not enough to complain about but wish they were not so feelable. Not sure how they could be routed otherwise but when I have to do this again will ask the surgeon.

Anyone reading my posts know I had the surgery as soon as I found a doc I trusted who explained about peyronies, dents, plaque, and leaks. I was not living with this any longer than I had to. I would have done this right after my accident if my first uro had done the proper tests and told me I had no real options. Still pisses me off. First one Just said accident would not cause it, you are just old, take viagra see me in 6 months. Just got worse and worse.

So I am not this was my last option. It would have been my first one if I had had all the facts back then. I still might have my 7 inches instead of 6.25. I do not think a woman can feel the difference but I know it is not there. The longer you wait with Erectile Dysfunction I believe the shorter you CAN get. Maybe not but why chance it. I would have skipped viagra and cialis which never really gave me a hard erection. Not injecting. Got peyronies plaque so am not making it worse by putting needles in my shaft. Leaking out as fast as in.

I would have scheduled with Eid or Kramer 3 years ago period if I had had all the facts back then. I hear Kramer is now going private and is not doing any surgery until the fall.

So good luck to everyone and am just enjoying life for a bit. What is funny is I took a chance on a local doc because of health issues and surgeries with wife and her surgery schedule for fall. Hers is now postponed till 2020 so I could have done Eid in October. Kramer maybe not with him relocating.

All however so far turned out well. But still a chance I took.

[SW01]

Over 4 months. Not much negative I can say. Length is a steady 6.25 inches. Girth is back to 5.5. My wife is happy. I am happy.

Last week we imbibed a bit to much in the pool and spent way to much time having sex. Off and on for well over 6 hours. Like old times for us. Neither of us remembers what we did. All we know is we should not do that again. But probably will.

I was sore, rubbed the skin off the top of my glans. She had a hard time walking the next day. Got my first bj in a long time due to some medical issues for her.   It felt exactly the same as pre implant. For her to. She said no difference at all.

I wish I had my 7 inches but she does not notice the lost 3/4 of an inch.

Curve is mostly gone. I still cannot believe I went from a curved penis to almost totally straight. Just from the titan.

I can feel the cylinders when deflated but not when pumped up. No real issue there. Flaccid I am at 5.5 inches and hang over my sac at about 4.30. No problems wearing my reebox boxer briefs from Sam's. Plenty of support and economical to.

All in all, we are happy with decision and wish it had been done a couple years ago.

[TonySa]

Wow, sounds like great fun...but maybe be a bit mire careful—rubbing skin off could cause an infection and also make you have to wait fir it to heal before using it again.  Then again, not such a bad problem to have...lol

[pfract]

6 hours.... I think this is the longest i have heard somebody using their implant for fun times haha  i guess you can safely say you will try the kamasutra book now?

[Roddy]

Really happy for you, SW01. You're an inspiration to me as you’re on exactly the same journey and just ahead of me. I cannot see me EVER engaging in a 4 hour session, however, as I don’t know what I’d do for 4 hours - that must have been some change of positions to keep that exciting LOL 😂.

Lucky you - I’m jealous. I hope my Titan performs as well as yours - it really does live up to its Jason and The Argonauts name then eh?

[SW01]

It has been a while since my last journal post. I guess I am like others and not so preoccupied with my penis as I was.

I am still pumping up regularly but maybe not every day. I do try to do so every other day or so. Normally I pump up in the evening for an hour or so every other day. If I miss one I no longer freak out about missing a day.

Sex is incredible. We are really enjoying the implant. I use a wood ruler to measure. Hard bone press I am at 6.5 inches when really horny. Just right under that if I am just watching tv and decide to pump up.

Peno scrotal incision so my tubes are below my penis. They can be felt but have not been an issue for me or my wife. My deflate button is still pointing straight out. No big deal for me. I actually like it. I usually inflate with my right hand and deflate with my left. Easy to get to.

I still would have absolutely no negative things to say about an implant. My only advice would be to.

Research. Get comfortable with the potential negatives. Find the ABSOLUTE best doc you can. Then get yourself implanted.

[pfract]

Has with many others, that's what happens. I used to be really upset that people would get healed up and wouldn't come back to help. It doesn't bother me as much, or at all i'd say. It's like "you went through hell and now it's your chance to get out and be free and live normally putting this behind your back."

May it last a long time sir, with many smiles per thrust?   

[Roddy]

Good to hear from you, SW01. That’s 18 months since your implant by my reckoning and everything sounds great for you. Nice that you still check in to help others. At 18 months of in, I’m curious as to why you would need to inflate every day or second day if not for sex? I’d be cautious of reducing the life of the implant when inflating for no other reason than out of the habit formed in that crucial first year. What do you think?

[TonySa]

I know Dr Eid doesn’t, but some docs recommend daily cycling to maintain size.

[Hawk]

I have heard of a few surgeons recommending daily cycling for up to 24 months to regain size but you are never going to lose any size you have gained once that implant is in even if you only cycled the implant once a week.  It would probably take less than that.  Unless you think you still have the potential to regain size, I think cycling without sex results only in a waste of time and unnecessary wear and tear.

I regained significantly more than Dr. Eid told me to expect but almost all of that was within the first 6 months.  I was more than happy with the end result.  Even if I thought I could slowly gain another 1/4" or say 1 cm in the second six months would it be worth cycling twice a day to do that if you already had 6" or so?   I would be more prone to do it for girth but my girth stopped increasing very early on.

[SW01]

Well I have a little more time tonight, and wanted to do a little more justice to my journey.

As for pumping up. I think I should have been making sure to pump up daily. Due to health issues with my wife over the past month, just been worn out. We postponed her next surgery until after the new year to make sure we have a good Thanksgiving and xmas with kids. Her next surgery we postponed till Jan.

The takeaway from that is I probably would have then gone to a top doc for implant in Sept. As it turn out I guess kramer went out on his own so I would have had to get timing just right to make that happen.

As for implant. I was implanted with titan 18 plus 1 rte. Right after surgery I was a bit disappointed with size. Barely what looked like over 5 inches. As the weeks went by it got a lot better as we all notice. When my fat pad swelling went down i had no problem with bone pressing with a wood ruler and getting 6 inches when I pumped up.

As the weeks went by, that measure went to a solid 6.25 inches. At about 6.5 months i am right at 6.5 inches. Absolutely no correlation between months after and size. I am still .5 inches from my old 7 inches. I really could care less.i am content and happy.

When the stars and planets line up and my wife is good we have our old sex life back. Even with her health issues she enjoys it when possible. It has made us a lot closer.

I will segways into the mental aspects of Erectile Dysfunction here. It not only affects you it definitely affects your partner. Female or male I would imagine. When I could not get hard she thought I was not interested or getting it somewhere else. So it affects the relationship.

Now, even if I have to pump up to get it up. She has no issue with me pumping up for either sex or a bj. It is just awesome to be able to do so. While I do not get hard spontaneously I do get somewhat hard when we get interested in having sex. My glans get big and I get bigger naturally. Not hard enough for sex but enough that she knows I am interested.

As for the evaluation. I am not sure if it is related to my missing a day of pumping up or not, but I have noticed that mid shaft I do have a definite indentation mid shaft like a rubber band is around my shaft. This is only deflated though. When I pump up it is gone.

I am no matter what now making sure I pump up at least once a day for at least 30 minutes to see if it makes a difference with that indentation. Also deflated I have a left leaning curve. Also it is not there when inflated.

As for cylinders. Looking down my left cylinder deflates left to right. The right cylinder deflates straight out. It forms a t. I am not sure if that causing a part of the left leaning curve when deflated.

The tubes are certainly noticeable on the bottom of my shaft. I can feel where they are routed to the pump and also go up to the reservoir. They are not on the top of my shaft though. My wife has no issue with sex in any position but only orgasms with a missionary position. I put a lot of pressure on her pubic bone with mine. No issues there. No tubing routed on the top. I mentioned that to doc and he said penoscrotal was best incision for that.

The main reason for an implant is to have sex. Make sure to discuss everything with your doc. He knew my wife's only way to orgasm and could do either incision but penoscrotal was best for her. No brainer on that one. My wife is open to anything but for her to finish it has to be missionary. Hard pressure.

I am still very happy I had this done. As others have said many times, what matters is what your erection looks like and is when pumped up.

My titan gives me a hard 6.5 erection for sex. Straighter than my normal pre Erectile Dysfunction erection. If we want we can and have gone for hours. Everything about finishing for her or me is normal. One real positive is there is no refractory period. After 30 or 45 minutes and I finish we just keep going. If I finish after a bj and she is ready to keep going we just keep going. No matter what happens in our future health wise. We have had 6 months of pretty damn good intimacy. We plan on a few more months of it as well until she has her next brain op. Life happens do what you can to make it better.

I plan on keeping track of things and see what happens in future. See if the indent goes away while flaccid or not. Hopefully all stays good while pumped up.

[Hawk]

SW,  I am happy for you and your wife.  I have thought the exact same thing that no one can ever take this last year of intimacy away from us.

I am curious about whether you can feel tubes on your shaft at any point?  I just went to check to make sure and I can only feel mine if I press my finger DEEP like I am doing a bone pressed measurement only on the underside.  There is no way any partner would ever feel them.  I have to make an effort and I am not heavy in the least.

You said you would cycle to see If the indent goes away while flaccid.  Do you really even care?

[Stepone]

Sw, thanks for the detailed sharing. I agree that Peyronie’s Disease is far more complicated then the physical aspect. Your important personal facts show how good communications in a couple are so important. Sex can be so complicated, but knowing what finishes your life partner is so important.
I was talking to a lady friend, and she said her husband still finishes without her and they have been married for 20 years. I asked her if she discussed with her husband and she said what’s the point? Hmm, so she can tell me, but not her husband. Now what’s messed up with that?
So my point is, it sounds like the two of you are doing a great job, despite all your challenges.
I feel for you and will pray for you and your wife’s successful surgery in January.
If you could PM me, your wife’s first name I will put her on my prayer list.

SW01 - Congrats on your progress and thanks for your continued posts. Helpful information as always.

Was wondering about Dr. Campbell's take on your condition. Is he equally pleased with the result?

Just curious. I've heard good things about Campbell. Wondering if his pre and post surgery input/follow up is as good as his surgical ability.

[TonySa]

How many implants does Campbell do a year?

[Stepone]

Tony, I asked this question before in regards to my very successful implant. My doctor performed over 145 implants in 2018. Shouldn’t he be listed? He is associated with Duke Hospital in NC, Dr Aaron Lentz.
StepOne

[TonySa]

Yours is, please look and let me know if not—I tried to do so but am not the best with tech

[Roddy]

SW01 - great progress. Thanks for the detailed update. Sounds like you’re having loads of fun - good for you and your wife. So many similarities with my own experiences. The implant has been liberating and life changing for us both.

[Hawk]

Stepone,

If you recommend him because of a very successful implant surgery and he does over 100 per year we will add him to the list.  I have been more off of the forum than on it for the last two weeks due to a lot ao miscellaneous personal issues. 

Send me a PM in a couple of days and remind me.  For now, I have some catching up to do.

[SW01]

I have been reading posts, but just not had very much to update until recently. So thought now would be a good time to post an update. Sorry for this long post.

10 months since implanted with my titan. I am really satisfied and happy. The stats. Pumping up now usually at night for about an hour each night. I pump up wait pump up some more until no more pumps go in at all.

Right cylinder is about 1/8 of an inch lower than my left one. Both though sit well into the glans and no floppy head at all.

When I am turned on and horny, my glans engorges just like pre Erectile Dysfunction times. When the glans engorges and head gets big, I cannot feel the tips at all. Girth is back to pre Erectile Dysfunction size.

As for length. I was initially disappointed for several weeks after implant. I looked really short. My pre surgery stretch came in at around 6 inches. Pre Erectile Dysfunction size was just under 7 inches.

My first pump up was at just over 3 weeks in. My doc wanted to wait till 4 weeks, but since I saw him at week 3 to deal with a deflate button issue, he said I did not need to come back and just go have fun. Deflate button was fine, pump had just turned with button facing forward.

So I started regular pumping and started measuring. As everyone says. I use a wood ruler and bone press hard and see where tip comes. I did wait till swelling was gone before I started measuring.

Length started at just over 5.5. Then started to go up. I got to 6 inches pretty quick. Then hit 6.25. At that point I really stopped getting any ache so figured I was pretty much done with gains.

Nope, slowly moved up to 6.5. At month 10, I have eased past 6.5 and moving up. Like I said I have been pumping up at night for an hour and every 10 or 15 minutes try to add pumps till bulb stops adding any more saline.

OTR deflate button. My deflate button rotated to point straight out from my body at week 2. It is still pointing in that direction and I like it there. Really east to pump or deflate with either hand. When pumping I usually do like half pumps and go pretty easy on the bulb. I get there either way. Hard and straight is the goal. Not a race. Not sure if i need to be that easy on the pump but i am just wanting to be careful with the titan otr.

To deflate, I can push button and hold for about 8 to 10 seconds and I deflate on it's own pretty good. If i want a flat looking dick i can squeeze it and get most saline out. I normally just let it do it on it's own and just make sure tips are sitting lower in the glans so they do not put pressure on the glans head.

Flaccid I am right at 5.75 inches long and hang down at a 4.30 to 5. Lays on top of my sac like it should. I have no problem using a urinal at all. I can get it out fine and put it back fine.

Anyone reading my posts know I am an advocate of the implant for many reasons, and cannot really understand why anyone who cannot get a hard dick does not go get one. While my wife and I were not contemplating a divorce, it brought us closer together over the past 10 months.

Now the issue. I developed a hernia in my groin. I noticed it back in November. It was just to the right of my shaft about 1.5 to 2 inches away. Scared hell out of me as my tubes also go up that side. When I pumped up I could feel gurgling in that same general area.

Called urologist. Hernia surgery is done by a general surgeon not by my urologist. Actually talked to 3. Same answer.see a general surgeon. They know what to do.

Went to a surgeon who in the past had to cut me open from my belly button to the top of my dick to fix a lot of stuff in my abdomen. He was confident hernia surgery would be no issue and would not get close to the implant reservoir. I do not exactly know where it is but it has to be under that hernia or pretty close.

Just asked him to be really careful. I need the hernia fixed. It is more painful than the implant was for me so far.

Surgery this morning. Big square bandage over area so cannot see.much. they did put me on iv antibiotics during surgery to help with infection. He said he would do that since I had implant and infection risk is there still from this surgery. Evidently if the hernia spot gets infected it can migrate to implant. Oh well I will keep fingers crossed. Wish I had some stockpiled antibiotics but used them up with the implant.

Cannot inflate until I go see him in 2 weeks. Wants No trauma to area inside where mesh is. One thing is implant is deflated so reservoir is full. Wants to keep it that way. I will probably just hit deflate button and push fluid out every morning just to be safe and keep reservoir full and pressure up in the area.

Dick still feels the same and I have noticed no difference in flaccid size. I will be nervous until I pump it back up in a couple weeks, and time goes by with no infection.

FYI. I want to thank everyone for the prayers and wishes for my wife. She has her next surgery 3rd week of feb. It was pushed back 2 weeks. Brain surgery is never good and number 2 for her. All in all things are great and we hope this one is the last. Her main issue is really infection as well. Damn the infections. Docs know what they are doing for the surgery part.

One more comment on the implant. 10 months ago my wife and I were good friends for sure. Rarely interacted a lot physically. Almost 3 years with Erectile Dysfunction took its toll emotionally and physically. I comment on this because some members say having actual sex is not the most important thing in relationship. I agree, we tried initially with oral, manual stimulation etc. The issue became when my Erectile Dysfunction progressed and no matter what she did I could not finish. She always did a few times. This became an issue for her so if I could not she just did not want to at all. So all sex of any type pretty much stopped. I still wanted to do her and could have cared less if I did or not, but she cared.

The implant gave us our coupleness back. We know that we can have sex and it is great. I touch her throughout the day. She does the same. We are closer. I say this because we never know what the future holds and if things go bad for her next month. We have enjoyed life the past 10 months and not just getting through days.

She also commented on hating to waste next few weeks with no penetration for sex. And if something happened to it for some reason I was getting her pole fixed.

Oh, ice, ice, and more ice on hernia surgery area to.

Everyone take care. This forum has helped me so much. Thanks so much.

[TonySa]

Thxs for update, hoping your recovery (and wife’s upcoming recovery) go smoothly!

[Stepone]

Swo1 thanks for your detailed report. Sharing information is so important as it helps all of us. I am sorry for the health issues for you and your wife. You have really had some heavy life experiences and my thoughts and prayers are with you and your wife.
Yes relationship love is important, but if we are fortunate enough to have a good surgeon to fix us, our sexual love can be restored.
I agree that sex really helps make relationships stronger, particularly when both partners work towards making it work.
Even though I am older and I have a bionic penis, I have to say that Sex seems so much more meaningful. When we are young, everything just sort of happens and sex was easy and plentiful. But now it seems, because we know it’s like a second chance at sex, it’s like incredible that it all works.
My only complaint is the spouse doesn’t want it every day, but I can live with 2 times a week. It’s not easy, but I am
Making it work.

A great report of where you are currently at, SW01. You have summarised your last 10 months extremely well and have had a great run at getting back lost time with your wife. I hope and pray that it all goes well for both of you and that you are both back fighting fit as quickly as possible. Your size increase from the initial reduction to 5.5 inches post surgery to a stable increase to 6.5 inches now is very familiar to me. I wonder if there is more to that than coincidence? I feel bad for you that you are back under the knife again so soon within the same calendar year as your implant surgery and again hope that your recovery is swift. Keep the head up - it’ll not be long till you are both back enjoying life again. Take care.

SW01, that was a great report. Never apologize for the length of the post.  Every sentence was valuable.

Best wishes to you and your wife in this new year.

Well. I am looking at a revision. Ct next week to see what is going on with tubing and reservoir.

Options are repair titan pump and reservoir.

I also have option to just replace with lgx since titan has corrected the peyronies. Softer cylinders but I have a special place in my heart for this titan.

Not sure what I am going to do right now.

Wife's brain surgery in mid feb takes precedence right now.

Fyi though. She wants me fixed to. Just so everyone knows a womens viewpoint. And she is someone who is getting about 2 square inches of skull removed for the second time in a little over a year to fix a leak. Sex is important to a relationship.

If neither of us ever could have sex again so be it but if you can fix it. Fix it.

Still cannot believe we are both doing the same damn thing again about one year later. Life sure is a pisser at times, but hey we are both breathing and enjoying our grandkids. So all in all life is good. Trying but good.

Short update. I am going to need a revision. I plan on having the whole thing replaced.

I am going to do it locally as I need both the general hernia surgeon as well as the urologist surgeon in or.. Taking a chance on my new local urologist but he has been good so far and at least does 3 to 4 a month so better than 3 to 4 a year. Has studied with a couple better known ones and wants to move into implants area as a specialty as central ky is lacking in focused implant docs. At least he is young and if this one works out unless he moves he will outlive me probably so future revisions will be done by him.

Still in pain, but looks like it is from another hernia. Scheduling for week after my wife's. I figure we can both recuperate together. I think I am going to try the lgx this time and hoping for 20 or 21 cm. Well probably 20 with it being 18 cm lgx and 2 rtes. Since previous instal length was known surgeon knows at least where to start.

This whole situation still makes me sick to my stomache. Life does sometimes throw you a lot of curve balls. With both me and my wife having all this stuff. Just wierd and both of us just 58.

It will be interesting to start a new journal with the revision and healing issues, and comparing the titan to lgx. I really liked this titan and actually loved the pump. Figured why not try the lgx since I have the chance. Then I can give a comparison.

Everybody take care. Any prayers my wife would be the one to need them. After all mine is still just a dick.  We would miss it, but they f her brain up, that is life shattering for us both.

Probably not post again till pre surgery. I am curious as to new ones prep and or procedure.

I was going to talk about how interesting it would be to have somebody that had the two different models in this board, but it doesn't seem appropriate at all, considering what you and your wife are going through at the moment. One can only imagine from this side. Stay strong SW01!

Ehy SW01, nice report, thank you! What about girth, did you end up with a girth like before the implant in erection or did you lose something..?

[SW01]

Well. I have been not updating so much. Just commenting. So here goes. Titan for 10 months till hernia surgery. Length 6.5 inches not horny. Horny I was just over 6.75. Girth 5.5 inches.

After hernia. Titan stopped. Implanted 2 months later. 1 year to week since implanted with titan.now with lgx 700.

Tonight. Horny into sex. Just under 7 inches and about 5.75 inches.

My best pre Erectile Dysfunction was just under 7 and about 5.5 inches. So same length and maybe a bit more girth.

We are happy. We were discussing earlier about our escapades in a 1976 monte carlo and thought about recreating it our ram truck. Lol. No comparison. Small back seat vs megacab truck.

fact is. We were 17 then, now 59. I have to pump up now, but she gets same orgasm.

[hope794]

Wow bro, really happy for you! NICE result!
