Re: Concerned about upcoming op
Matthew, I had good flow to the glans/head. After my recent implant 26 days ago I can confirm already that my glans receives blood and enlarges just as before. Best of luck and let us know what the doc says. Don

Re: Lessons learned to date!
Thanks for the words, knotreel. I see the doc this Thursday. When I talked to him today he essentially said the same as you wrote. Each day gets better with the inflation. It sounds like you built up both time and amount of inflation. I may have jumped in too much too quickly. I am now inflating to ...

Re: Concerned about upcoming op
What I meant was that I do not attribute the loss of length to under sizing, especially not intentionally. When inflated the implant reaches into the glans appropriately. Any longer and the tips would be painful. As they are, the head receives support and the shaft is fully filled. In my case, I gai...

Re: New and Happy to be here
Thanks, Bob. It is always good to hear of the light at the end of the tunnel. My wife and I have been without for 16 years and are anxious for time to pass. Your advice to be patient is duly noted. As a psychologist, I have often counseled others to be patient. Now the shoe is on the other foot and ...

Re: Lessons learned to date!
Yep, the kink is like a folded straw only when flaccid. Inflation completely straightens it. Similar kink to the penis base when flaccid. That's why it almost feels most comfortable inflated. Your suggestion to leave a bit of fluid there makes sense. I will give that a try. Thanks. Don

Re: Concerned about upcoming op
Matthew, I had some of the same questions and concerns. As a retired psychologist, I also have dealt with size issues from that side as well. You will be best served by trusting the doctor. I inteviewed probably a dozen or more before deciding to have it done. I was comfortable with all of them. I d...

Lessons learned to date!
I am 25 days post-op from implanting the Titan OTR by Andrew Kramer at the University of Maryland. For the most part, so far, so good. I have been self inflating for one week now. I can go to 100% with just some constricting pain at the base of the penis. I have been inflating twice daily; late morn...

Re: New and Happy to be here
Greg and Jeff, thanks for the welcomes. It is good to be here. And, it is great that you guys have found workable interventions. We each seem to be on the road to overcoming the "heartbreak" of ED. I look forward to learning more and to helping other souls on our pathway to healthy and hap...

Re: Hello and thanks to all of you!
Hi, Buck. Thanks for the welcome. Yes, it amazes me, too, that medical personnel often do not keep up to date. It seems that specialists do that frequently. They will update what they are familiar with, but won't go the extra bit of digging to uncover things that cause them to "stretch" th...

Hello and thanks to all of you!
Hello to all the strangers I have been reading for the past month!!! I am a recent implantee ( Titan, July 25 ). Had the procedure done at U of Maryland by Andrew Kramer. I had a radical prostatectomy in January, 1996. None of the other interventions was very good, but no one really talked to me ab...
