I am sorry to hear Morey is acting like too many urologists. As my internist told me Friday night, they plenty of work and are only concerned about the next patient coming in the door, especially if you have medicare as they get penalized for having to redo any work. Insurance companies have too much sway over tests. My wife's angiogram to monitor her aortic aneurysm was cancelled 2 weeks ago because a nurse practitioner signed the order, not the doctor. This had been on for 3 months. Mine was cancelled because the insurance company would not pay because the doctor's office had not called for preauthorization before sending the blood flow scan order the to radiologist. Doctor writes a script, lab does the work. Should be the end of it. Screw all this game playing paperwork that takes 60 times as much time for everybody. Want to make sure you are not screwed by the doc or lab, audit from time to time. I did audits for a number of years. Very easy to find patterns that are off. They jump right out at you like a misspelled word. Interestingly every cheat told me they did it to everybody and most people did not catch them at it. WTH?

Back to the running out of fluid bit...... Mine this morning squeezed and popped, then stayed flat. 1st squeeze. Took forever before it would fill, then popped again and pumped lovely for 50 pumps. Best ever. I would love to see a schematic of their valve. Has to be some type of floating poppet or something. Seems prone to odd actions likely based on an engineering assumption of X volume per squeeze at Y velocity not considering some people squeeze slower, faster, more, or less.

Morey's nurse, Mary West, was terse and abrupt when I emailed her about it saying that they will get to it. After 3 weeks with no action at all, it's obvious that they won't. My read is, of course, that Morey doesn't want it....

Insurance companies can sometimes be helpful when a patient is dissatisfied with a health care provider because they're footing the bills. You might see if the insurance company can nudge your doctor to be more responsive. Also, when e-mails aren't effective, a certified letter can prompt a less-than-helpful healthcare provider to be more helpful. Sometimes, state medical boards can also intercede on a patient's behalf. A letter from an attorney is sometimes effective as well. Just some suggestions off the top of my head. Good luck!

Thanks much for your advice in getting my MRI. However, I really don't want to spend more time trying to get a response that Morey and his office doesn't want to give.

As of now the implant is working fine. It's just worrying that if it goes flat when inflated, it will soon start to fail. If it does fail, I'm not inclined to beat my head against Morey's team, but will seek another doctor to get the MRI and find out what the problem is.

I am much closer to Austin and there is a Dr. Bryan Kansas in Austin who has great reviews on his implant surgery. Does anyone here have any experience of know anything about this doc?

I agree with your take on Morey. If a doctor is not responsive to my needs, FIRE HIS ASS! When Milam said "I am going to make your penis smaller and we are not going to discuss it" he was fired. Too bad it took me too long to process and I did not do it 3 minutes before surgery when he said it instead of after. I know urologists for the most part are an odd lot. I've heard too many of them bad mouth each other. Milam made fun of Eid and of his french name in October, Perito disagrees with Eid, Bullock trashed Brandes and Nussenbaum in Dec 2014, Lavine made less than kind comments about Ryback just 3 weeks ago and hinted as much about Morey. My wife and I have sat and listened to these rants and more. There are other doctors thank goodness and not all think they are gods. NOTHING burns me more than attitude or racism ( none made racist remarks).

Alibaba, it's funny you mention that, I initially saw Perito for a consultation, and he completely TRASHED Eid in front of me, told me Eid has tons of infections, takes 2 hours per implant, 3 guys in one day went to him post-op with obvious disasters that Eid couldn't fix. I ultimately didn't go to Perito bc of the criminal record. However when I tried to sort of bait Kramer into telling me good/bad about Eid or Perito, he was stonefaced- didn't say a word, stared at me for a hard 10 seconds, then moved on. It's like he won't go there at all in terms of talking about other people. Anyway I found it very professional of him, I was kind of embarrassed I tried to get him to do that, I was just having fun. Anyway no love lost between Eid and Perito. Can't see that Kramer has any enemies, the guy seems well liked or people are afraid to talk about him. (the guy is pretty youtube savvy and could probably bring you down with his weekly video session if he wanted to).

Seems these doctors have some kind of superiority complex issues. Mention another doctor's name and you just made an enemy of them even if you ask what they think of doing xx the way tt does it. Personally it has seemed to me in other professions that the ones who do the best work do not have to wave banners. Their clients have a parade for them. d

I've had this happen on 2 Titan implants and 1 AMS. All of them eventually failed. It was caused by slow leaking on the Titan implants, and unstated reason on the AMS. The doctor coulldn't determine on the table what caused the AMS failure but considering there were 6-8 splices in the tubing, I'm quite sure one of them sprung a leak.

Thankfully the new AMS implant had no cuts or splices in the tubing. So far I've been very satisified. About 30 pumps or so and it's full. Bulb returns hard on last pump. I'm able to put painful pressure on the penis buy using 2-handed pumping to streach out the tunica. Any yes, my LGX is actually increasing in size, so I'm one of the lucky ones so far.

I have given up on Dr. Morey. He did a botched job with the implant. The right tube was not placed fully into the glans and, because of this, it is bunched some at the base of the penis. This has not really been a problem with using it, because the left tube was placed correctly and keeps the glans firm and straight. However, it is definitely a botched job.

Also, discouraging is Morey's lack of follow-up. He didn't even come by to check the implant in the hospital the morning after the surgery. Some trainee came by and just asked how things were going. If Morey had actually stopped by and looked, he surely would have seen the problem of the misplaced tube and addressed it right then. After the surgery, you are pretty much on your own. I never had a follow-up phone call or any contact from his office to answer questions or see if things were progressing.

I would caution anyone to avoid surgeons, like Morey, who work at teaching hospitals. I am certain that Morey had one of his trainees do the actual implanting and that's why I have this poor job. These docs are professors and their main concern is teaching people how to perform surgery. You will very likely become a subject for some new doc to learn on. Find a doc who's not involved in training.

Anyway, the implant is not only botched but leaks and is quickly becoming unusable. I have an appointment with Dr. Kansas in Austin who is supposed to be a high volume guy, He's very well reviewed by his patients. Austin is also much closer, so I will probably have him do the repair on Morey's mess.
