Re: Insurance Denial

So, the insurance lady from the urologist called the other day. Said implants are excluded so no appeal. Thanks to what @squirrel posted, I did some quick checking and it looks like Blue Cross would cover it. One of the fortunate things of working for the gov’t is how easy it is to switch health ins...

Re: Insurance Denial

Jeb, As a current federal employee, I had GEHA medical and they will not cover an implant. They will not even consider an implant unless it is a transgender case. "We only cover penile implants for women" What a time to be alive :lol: I think that’s what pisses me off the most…if I said I...

Insurance Denial

Guess the Dr. sent in the paperwork cause I already got a denial from the insurance company. Is that pretty standard? Have an appointment in a week so I’ll take in the letter saying I want the Dr. to appeal on my behalf, but I’m not terribly optimistic. Gov’t employee with GEHA insurance. Are there ...

Re: (Positive) depiction of implant in a popular TV show.

Little late to the party, but I remember an episode of the old hospital show “St. Elsewhere”. Couple guys in their hospital room, one is depressed the other just got his implant. Implant guy pulls the curtain and says he can’t wait to try it out. Hear noises and then a loud pop. Guy pulls back the c...

Re: How Long Does Trimix Last

Refrigerated vial is coming up on two months so I’m not going to break out the 2nd vial from the freezer just yet. Even though I used more...one regular and one booster...both injections felt “off”. There was more pain during injection than usual and there was actually pain for a while after which u...

How Long Does Trimix Last

Mine was made 10/28/2020. Both vials went in the freezer when they showed up (wife was out of town for work). Put one of the vials in the fridge about a week later, other one stayed in the freezer. It worked really well the first few time we used it, but last night...nuthin. Tried the usual dosage o...

Re: Injection Frequency for a Week

Not a doctor, but I’m guessing the reasoning behind the spacing of injections is to allow plenty of time for the medication to get out of your system. I would imagine shooting up too frequently just increases the chances of an ER visit

Re: Injection Frequency for a Week

I asked at my last appointment and my urologist straight up told me that the “only 3 times per week” is a conservative number to cover asses. He said that occasional daily use is okay as long as you’re staying about 24 hours apart.

Re: Trimix Showed up Today

Mine has proved to work really well after some trial and error. Tried it the first time solo with the recommended 10 units and again at 15 units. Neither really did anything. Things got frisky with the wife one night so third time I bumped it up to 30 units and that did the trick.

Re: SUCCESS!!!

Talked to the wife about it a bit more this evening and that I’d sent in the appointment request after the injection didn’t work the first two times. Told her the next thing after injection is the implant and she’s still not keen on that. Not sure if it’s the surgery itself or that she doesn’t want ...
