I wish I had found this board before my nightmare, it would have saved me pain, anger, frustration, and aggravation.
In 1999 I underwent prostate surgery (no cancer thankfully). Of course after that I couldn't get an erection. Pills and injections did nothing. My insurance of course denied implant surgery.
In May of 2024 I became eligible for Medicare and jumped at the chance to get an implant. I saw a local urologist who claimed to be high volume and scheduled surgery for July 6 2024. I had the AMS700 implanted, I was in absolute agony and swollen like a softball. In August I tried cycling per the Dr. instructions and heard and felt a pop. The implant started auto inflating fully and wouldn't deflate. The Dr. called it as defective and scheduled another surgery to replace the implant.
I had the second implant done, felt a little better, a tiny bit less swelling. At day 8 I started to have a discharge and bleeding from the incision. I had developed an infection.
Back to the doctor, surgery was scheduled to remove the infected implant. Privately I started to lose it. I was angry, depressed and generally everything and anything set me off.
After 11 months of recovery, I was still sensitive, but I decided to seek out another doctor.
June 25th of 2024, Dr. Clavell implanted the Titan Classic. I had almost no swelling, pain for one day only. I started cycling at 21 days post surgery. It gets easier every day. I've had one test drive so far. My recovery has been nothing short of miraculous. My mental health has improved. I'm happy and healthy now.
If you guys have any questions for me, I'll try to answer.
