Re: Implant exploding penis?

I can't speak to exploding, but I can speak to the stretching pain. My first implant took me about 10 weeks to fully recover and the activation appointment to cycle at week at post op was VERY painful. After that I would only cycle/inflate in the warm shower where I could sit down due to stretch pain.

Re: Dog Ears Titan or AMS

Curious which the Dr recommends and why.

For the Dr who exclusively does AMS (BS) I'd be asking him why AMS is a good fit vs the Titan and if he can't answer that would concern me.

Re: Did you have pain at reservoir site?

Based in my 2X experience, that's normal. Just make sure there's no signs of infection. It took me weeks before all the different pains or "healing" feeling went away completely. By weeks, I mean 4 to 10. My first. Implant was a really long heal. Reminder, 3 days ago YOU WERE CUT OPEN AND ...

Re: 32 y/o here, saying f**k it and going for implant (even if it still functions most of the time)

The implant changed my life, but my opinion on your situation (assuming that's what you're asking) is to wait and to pour your energy and resources into the balance of your emotional state and anxiety.

In the end, you may be exchanging one anxiety for another.

90 ft for "deep dives"? I can't remember open water license limits. Not sure on physical limits with an implant. Interesting question though.

I've done a few trips to Caymans with my open water cert. Never an issue. I usually wear a wetsuit.

Re: I think I have an infection. Your thoughts?

I do believe something isn't right. 2x implants of experience and none of those symptoms happened to me. If you leak, you can get an infection (isn't that true for any wound or injury?) A few things that stand out (NOT a doctor, please consult, this is based on my experience) - I don't believe you s...

Re: Coloplast Titan versus AMS 700

Candidly, this thread and question makes me cringe. It's as if we were picking out what car to drive based on what preferences we have or want. My opinion on the topic, if your doctor can't explain why a certain implant is best for you or which to go with, find a different doctor. Some are motivated...

Re: Was anyone else completely impotent before getting an implant?

being "completely impotent" is an ideal way to be before implant. It means that you have nothing to lose by getting the implant. True from an emotional perspective, not always from a physical perspective. I was 100% impotent when received my first implant and it made the stretching pain w...

Re: 4th surgery in 4 years

I'm so sorry you're going through this. Was each revision done by the same doctor with AMS? What does the doctor say? Have you spoken to AMS (Boston Sci) about it? Being undersized twice is unforgivable in my opinion and something that one or both of those parties should be supporting you with.
