Re: Titan OTR Premature Failure

Had a Coloplast Titan implanted by Dr. Garber in April 2016. As I read the post-op surgical notes, I saw that a Coloplast Titan with Genesis pump had been used. When I met with the doc on a follow up exam I asked why he didnt use an OTR Touch pump. He replied that in his opinion those pumps had beco...

Re: My Ongoing Underwear Dilemma

I tried a bunch of different kinds but liked Under Armour Original Series 3” Boxerjock the best. Great support and reasonably priced.

Now after 3 or so months since implantation, back to good old tighty whities.

Re: Do you keep your implant totally secret?

Same as RelievedofED1 with only wife and doctors knowing. Otherwise I said "old guy surgery" when asked --- which seemed to satisfy everyone with no further questions.

Mine is the same with the implant as before. Basically warm to the touch.

Re: Ho Ho Ho

I received my implant on April 25, 2016. I used the refillable ice bags given me by the hospital to start - they were good, but we quickly ran out of crushed ice and sometimes they leaked. I also tried peas, ice cubes in a plastic bag and an old school English style ice bag. My favorite of all thoug...

Re: What's Going On?

I spoke to the doctor who called me back promptly and apparently I was one of the lucky 1% to get an internal infection. A week on antibiotics and lots of ice and the doctor indicates all looks good with further reduction in the swelling expected. I did follow up on KMeister & Roninhouston's sug...

Re: What's Going On?

Thanks for your responses. I think before I "out" the doc, I will call him and ask for more info. This seems to be a more fair minded approach than just dumping on him. I know much of the responsibility to get info lies with me and being persistent if need be. I will post once I speak with...

Re: Anesthesia, Pain and First Waking Up

I have been lurking on this site for a couple months now. Got a lot of excellent info - THANK YOU EVERYBODY! Had implant done by Dr. Bruce Garber at Hahnemann hospital in Philadelphia this past Monday 4-25-16 at 7:30am. I was worried about pain and it was a key reason for holding off for a bit. Here...
