Hi Guys,

My 10/24 appointment was cancelled due to family illness.

I reschedule for this past week.

I saw the doctor we discussed my ED,RALP & peyronies. He asked about my erections & Ralp , discussed waiting awhile to see if ED improves.

We talked about peyronies & that he stated previously in an email that the gold standard for ED & peyronies is a penile implant.

He then began to examine me & felt my lump; once feeling the size of my lump, he indicated that I needed an implant to solve my problems.

He then measured me (stretch test only) realize I walk all day in the cold & penis size was 1/2" less than when I measure the day before & yesterday at home.

I was hoping that would have measured inducing an erection the day of my appointment.

After my examination, we were sent to his office & he took another patient. We than saw him 15 minutes later & he started to answer my questions for about 15 more minutes & then he had another patient. Then he came back for about another 15 or 20 minutes session with us.

At the end he gave us a package to review, I would need to come back for pre-op & another measurement & then the operation.

He answered all of our questions, but I'm not exactly happy with the measurement.

How would you guys feel? I was only average size prior to my RALP & peyronies.

The crucial measurements will happen on the day of surgery.

Hey TonySa,

Got kind of worried, that I might get short changed! He had if you get a missed measure with a less implant that usually results in floppy head.

I now have to see what I have to do & travel to NY all weather dependent.

Thanks

Hey Tonysa,

Dr. Eid, I liked how he answered every question, the only thing that I may have to go a few days earlier for pre-op 48 hrs do to Medicare. I still an injection measuring & need to see heart dr around home.


He said that the reservoir will go mid way between belly button & pubic bone do to my Ralp.  Possibility a bump in stomach, cause I'm thin he said, but no incision in abs. I'm 5'6" 141 lbs.

Will see what happens, one concern is the peyronie's plaque kind of large, even on sides, probably some dilation to remove scaling.

Hi Samsung,


They dilate or scale to remove  tissue. Not sure if it will be done to me but i saw on FT a guy had it done to remove plaque. A tool is used that has a razor blade on side of it, picture a blunt screw driver, they start off with smaller diameter one & then larger one to remove tissue & plaque to make room for implant.

I could be wrong, probably am, but don't think Dr. Eid does any excision. Maybe Hawk would know?

Dr. Eid leaves the plaque, but I think he has to dilate the tissue to place the cylinders.

Does that affect length or girth, the dilation?

Thrust me, If Dr. Eid does your surgery you will not have to worry about getting short-changed with a floppy head.  NO chance!

Samsung is correct.  Dr. Eid will make relief incisions and hand modeling if necessary but no excision or grafting, or plication.  You won't need it.
