Re: New implant questions !
I'm sure Chris Love is very capable. You may care also to consider Justin Chee here in Melbourne. Did mine in May '16 following prostatectomy; still going strong. Implants are his main (if not his only) thing.

Re: Sharing my experience 8 months after implant
If you want to ride a bike get yourself an ISM saddle. It won't interfere with your plumbing the way a normal saddle does: the absence of the nose is the thing.

Re: Recent Implant with Dr. Eid, travel/Covid Q's
I should have mentioned - my implant is a Titan. In four years, no issues after initial recovery. Lots of Ks on the bikes.

Re: Recent Implant with Dr. Eid, travel/Covid Q's
You asked earlier about the other sort of cycling ... Not a mountain biker myself but road/track/gravel. The one issue I have had is with implant plumbing in the scrotum and saddles. ISM saddles have been the answer. Takes a little time to get used to the alteration in sit-bone position, but the abs...

Re: Recreational biking
Issues? Yes: saddle issues. I could not and did not do more than a few km on a conventional saddle (Brooks or Specialized) following implantation. The extra scrotal plumbing hurt to buggery and I was worried about doing it or myself a damage. Went to ISM saddles and the problem was solved. It did ta...

Re: Pump pointing sideways, can something be done?
You're less than a month since surgery, right? My experience, which I gather is pretty usual, was that initially the pump got surrounded by some kinda scar tissue that bonded it to the inside of the scrotum. Over time (maybe a couple of months, but I forget) this tissue gradually disappeared and as ...

Re: Sydney, NSW Newbie
Comrade Can't speak of any practitioners closer to home for you, but another Melbourne surgeon, from whom I received a Coloplast implant in May 2016: Justin Chee of Murac Health in East Melbourne. Obviously one swallow doesn't make a summer, but I was and am very satisfied with his care and the resu...

Re: Biking after Implant
Good to hear, boys! Keep pedalling - but leave a bit in the tank for fun afterwards.

Re: SORENESS AFTER 7 WEEKS
It WILL calm down, never fear. Yes, some of us are fine after a few days (!), and my surgeon warned that 2 weeks would be bad, but 7-8 weeks after surgery was very feckin sore for me - spent a lot of time in bed and hot baths (not cold) gave relief. But 3 1/2 years later, it's all a distant memory. ...

Re: VED Prior to having an Implant?
For what it's worth ... Post prostate surgery I was left with a small little-boy penis: cute perhaps but not useful. I was much surprised at how much it had apparently shrunk while I was under the ether. Having fully planned to go implant as soon as possible, on the recommendation of the implant uro...
