Re: implant failure
I have an AMS CX that the surgeon says it has a "sticky" pump. When I have that situation as you are describing, I squeeze my penis aggressively while pushing the deflation button with the other hand. Then, squeeze the pump as hard as you can to totally deflate it. That usually resets the ...

Re: New implant erection points down!
Alibaba, Your quote: I have had several doctors tell me "The only thing I care about is that it gets hard" is almost exactly what my doctor said at my last visit. He doesn't worry about the angle at all, and says it is hard enough for penetration, so you should be just fine. I vehemently d...

Re: New implant erection points down!
Figured out how to create a signature. Surgeon was Dr. Derek Zukosky, in Denver. There are not any high volume surgeons in Denver and I can't travel due to my wife's health. Zukosky had one date in September where he was doing some complex revision surgeries along with Dr. Karpman from the west coas...

New implant erection points down!
I have had total ED since a prostatectomy 2+ years ago. I had an AMS CX implant done (infrapubic) 12 weeks ago. Surgical measurements were 9 cm (internal) and 15 cm (external) which is 24 cm total. The surgeon implanted a 21 cm device along with 3 cm of RTE's. (I had asked for as little RTE's as pos...

Penile Implant surgery: Infrapubic or scrotal?
I am nearly ready to select a surgeon for a penile implant. Some prefer an infrapubic (above the penis) incision, and others do a scrotal incision. I have been leaning toward scrotal, since I am worried about damage to essential nerves with the infrapubic approach. However, the infrapubic approach i...

Re: Coloplast vs AMS
Thanks for the quick responses! The video link is very helpful. I know selecting the right surgeon is critical. I have been looking locally (Denver), and have also started looking elsewhere, especially Dr. Eid. His website is a goldmine of information. There is no one in Denver that has anywhere nea...

Coloplast vs AMS
I am researching inflatable penile implants, as I am still in nowhere land at almost 22 months post DaVinci prostatectomy. It seems that most surgeons have a preference for one or the other brand of inflatable implants, so while researching which surgeon I should use, it seems that I am also forced ...

Re: Need Advice, problem with orgasms after prostatectomy
Andy and Alibaba- Yes, I heard all about how the doctors can fix the side effects from RRP! Slings and artificial sphincters for incontinence, implants for ED. Not to worry. If you don't get better, we can fix it. It was very reassuring at the time, since the cancer was foremost on my mind. Now, I w...

Re: Need Advice, problem with orgasms after prostatectomy
Thanks for all the comments! There seem to be a lot of us in similar situations. I think I am feeling like you, alibaba. Maybe I can get used to things and stop beating myself up sooner than 2 years. All I know right now is I get panic attacks every day when I realize I may never ever get back to th...

Re: Need Advice, problem with orgasms after prostatectomy
Limpjoint- Sounds like I better get used to sex being totally different and not so great. Not what I would like to hear. I didn't like any of the options I knew about for my PC (surgery, external radiation, or cyberknife). However, I wish I had known back in July about Focal Laser Ablation (FLA). It...
