they fixed that issues after all the eyeballs exploded in the early years of high altitude flight. No worries now.

I chose Clavell and paid out of pocket. I didn't speak to Eid or Hakky, I interviewed my local Kaiser doc, attempted to interview with Dr. Karpman in the SF bay area but his staff was too inept and rude, and Dr. Clavell. I didn't need to interview anybody else once I met with Dr. Clavell. At the tim...

I don't believe any of the pumps currently in use have a bypass valve, it is unnecessary because the bulb can't generate enough pressure to rupture anything, therefore not needing a bypass to protect the cylinders, pump or tubing. When I was first implanted I too could pump forever, I also went to 7...

I've had 2 AMS 700CX's with this last one being inoperable since Jan this year ( waiting on revision ) and have not noticed any dog ears with either of mine, since I'm completely deflated now, I can bend it in half and I don't see or feel dog ears. AMS has a silicon cylinder so it's much softer and...

I have Kaiser and there is no option for a surgeon out of the Kaiser family. I consulted with my Kaiser doc, nice guy but he was a nope. He didn't do many implants by his own admission, they only offered one manufacturer, and when he had me stand and held out my penis with his gloved hand and said &...

I was self pay through Dr. Clavell. I could have paid nothing more than a $200 copay and had my local Kaiser doc do it, but after consulting with him I wouldn't have done it through Kaiser if it was free. I was happy to pay Dr. Clavell 100x more to get the outcome I have and am thrilled with. This i...

Unless there's been a change in the last 18 months, Dr. Clavell is considerably less than $30k for self pay.

optimally, you want the marble and not the flat pump. Marble means there is more fluid that *could* be delivered to the cylinders but there's just no more room in the cylinders, the fluid can't go any further so the pump is hard as a marble. This also encourages the cylinders to stretch to their max...

do you think your nipples are wired to your penis?

Of course you will, your nipples are wired to your brain.

Sambalamba- I can't speak for LastHope, maybe he has definite opinions regarding your question, but neither of us can give you useful information here. This is 100% a question for the surgeons you interview. It's a good question to bring up, and shows you're thinking about everything. I have read of...
