Hi, so I was set to have surgery with Ralph on the 13th. I went to see him on the 6th so I can meet him in person and he can size me up. Everything went well in that regard. However, while I was in the clinic, I started thinking about the cost I'd be paying, and having second thoughts about it(maybe for a Western European standard it isn't a lot, but for my country, when you compare my currency to the pound, it kind of is). I also thought that I am just not mentally ready for a surgery like this. So I told him that I am hesitant, and he said it is okay and we can cancel the surgery and reschedule it for whenever I want.
So I went home and started thinking about the situation and the fee. Yes, Ralph is a top surgeon, but the fee is a lot and I could use that money to spend on my education. I decided to postpone the surgery a bit before I am 100% sure about it. Additionally, I did a bit of research and found out about dr Karaman in Turkey, and that the cost for everything would be 9000 euro, which is considerably less. I have started to consider him as an option, instead of Ralph, purely cost - wise(I have read good things on here about his quality as well).
That was just to give an update, but if someone is willing to share Karaman's contact details, I would appreciate it.

Ah OK not quite as bad as I worried it might be.
Assume this was an inflatable?

Don’t do the surgery at all. Revisions cost if not more than original. I had mine done I. 1989. Before internet and resources. Big mistake.
Re: Got cold feet and cancelled surgery last minute; having second thoughts
The mental part is a big factor with this or any elective surgery.
If you can go without and you are comfortable with it then you are making the right decision for you.
Not that its the same thing because our cocks are the center of our world, I have been told Im a candidate for lasik surgery for years but a family history of blindness and weak retinas have kept me from having it done. Like you Im not ready mentally. The .00000012 chance of complication is too much for me.
Do it when your ready, if at all.
