Hello, everyone. Decided to join this board as I've been reading it for a couple of weeks now as I prepared for my implant (last Friday, one incision in scrotum; Coloplast implant). Your comments, questions, and photos have all been most helpful: sometimes providing new information, sometimes just needed reassurance. A bit about myself: 62, married a long time with such an understanding wife, ED since mid-90's, worked my way to the ineffective end of all the pills, so tried injections. Worked very well 'till last fall. Until last winter, I never ever could imagine myself with an implant, but got one now. Even the morning of surgery, while I walked to the hospital, I wondered what in the world am I doing? Glad I did, but will be so happy when the initial swelling and bruising have subsided. Bit of a worry-wort, so have to try not to worry about losing the implant to possible infection (no evidence of any thus far, and no reason to think that I have). Very happy with my surgeon, as well. Young man (30's, I think), who gave me all the time I wanted to ask questions. Also, he answers promptly email, so that has been very helpful too, as I walk mostly blind through this experience. Hope that I can in some way contribute to others as I continue to read the topics on FrankTalk. So, again, thank you every one of for sharing your stories and comforting others.
Cheers,
Brian.
