Journal- Surgery with Dr. Billy Cordon in Miami

[Gt1956]

Antonio1010 & Atul. I'm almost certain that despite what any dr might say. The factory representative brings the inventory. There really isn't a reason for drs to keep any stock on hand. Why tie up that much money in such an expensive item.
Please remember that rte's are used to get an implant length in between what is made. In the case of AMS CX. They're made in 18cm & 21cm lengths. So what happens if a patient measures 19cm or 20cm? Don't forget the .5cm increments between those numbers. Those sizes are created by adding rte's. If rtes didn't exist then those that measure 18.5cm to 20.5cm would be getting an 18cm implant.

True. It is the same thing. Idea is that all sizes should be available to the doctor on the operating table to give the patient best results. Also a high volume surgeon should have arrangement with the maker of discarding an implant incase he feels it is not the right one for the patient.

I think a reasonable question to ask your surgeon would be- if they keep ready stocks of all titan implant sizes at all times with them. Many times RTEs are put because the surgeon has access to only limited sizes and has to add RTE for best fit.

I asked this question specifically to Dr. Billy and he told me that their hospital has all sizes stock at all times. Good luck!

Lol I just asked Dr Clavell about this

Great! Given the high volumes of surgeries Dr. Clavell is doing, I am sure he has access to all the sizes at all times.
Another question to ask should be whether they have the option to discard a cylinder post implanting in case they feel a bigger/smaller size may be more suitable? This option is again available only to select surgeons who have a high volume and a good relationship with Coloplast. Dr. Eid has this and so did Dr. Cordon who did my surgery.

Lol below is Dr. Clavell answer to my question I asked yesterday about the RTE. I love him...


Yes, we do have all size available.  But that does not mean you will NOT get an RTE. We do try to minimize them but they are sometimes necessary.  
However, No need to worry.   Trust me, I got your best interest in mind.

Dr Clavell seems great, do you guys have an email for his office that people can use? I cannot get through to the request form or number on his website from Australia.

Thanks,

Check dm. Sent you email of his patient coordinator. I dealt with Anahi Gonzalez. She was great. Dr. Clavell would have been a choice of my surgeon had I not got personal recommendation of Dr. Cordon from Dr. Eid whom I was originally scheduled with.

Been a while I posted. I haven’t really used my implant in a long time now to have sex. I have also stopped cycling daily. Sometimes 4-5 days pass and I don’t even inflate it. Then I start getting anxious if it would still work. So I cycle for a short time and deflate.
One observation I had was that if I don’t inflate it for a few days then to inflate it can feel different (the pump presses feel different and not wall to wall). Not sure why that happens.
My flaccid seems to have gotten little better. But the dog ear is still prominent and a wee bit painful.
Having completed 7.5 months since surgery I can’t explain how different my life has been. The confidence levels are much higher and I am just a very different person.
The implant not only cured my ed, it also cured my brain.

With the holiday season coming up in US, I am sure many of you would be planning your surgeries to take advantage of vacation days for recovery. I wish all the best of luck and successful surgeries!

Bye for now!

Hello Dear Members,
Last month I completed 1 full year post my implant surgery. I got operated on March 02, 2023 at Miami and my surgeon was Dr. Billy Cordon working at Mt Sinai. If you have followed my journal you would know that I was a patient of Dr. Eid who had to get surgery done from Dr. Cordon after Dr. Eid took ill last year. I was given recommendation of Dr. Cordon by Dr. Eid himself.

I have now fully recovered and feel that the implant is a part of my body. I have gotten used to life with a much bigger flaccid and a dog ear which does bother from time to time. The implant works like a charm and now I am able to inflate or deflate it with minimum effort without even looking down.

Barring occasional discomfort during sleeping (I side sleep) when the pump starts digging into my groin area, I am very comfortable with everything. I was oversized as per my surgeon which led to a longer than expected recovery period but now it all seems great. Since I am not very finicky over size I would have been equally happy if I was given an implant which was 1 size smaller.

The implant itself has worked wonders in resolving a lot of my issues. Apart from fixing my ED permanently it has given me much more confidence in life. I used to be very scared of talking to women earlier but now I am very confident as I know I will not fail. My marriage broke up because of my ED but now I have been able to date multiple women over the past 1 year and all have been extremely satisfied with the performance of the implant. I have told all the women I dated about my implant and never faced any kind of an odd situation around it. I do get a lot of stares for my big bulge and my current partner keeps complimenting for it.

The implant itself has softened up a lot more in the last 1 year and now feel more maneuverable when flaccid. I also had peyronies disease which was also corrected with implant. For a long time my flaccid would tilt to the right post surgery but since a few months I find it has straightened up. I find the current position aesthetically more pleasing.

I have faced issues in ejaculating during sex. I am able to ejaculate during masturbation easily. During sex it as been difficult but has happened a few times. So I am hoping this issue will resolve in coming months. The kind of pleasure a man is able to give his woman post surgery is out of the ordinary. I have moved from a situation of being a complete emotional wreck to someone who now takes super pride in my ability of have sex for extended periods of time and making sure that the girl get all the desired pleasure.

One downside I find with implant is that we hardly engage much in foreplay and go straight for the action. May be I need to now slow down and start doing different things.

Rest I am always happy to receive any DMs or give any help this fantastic community would need. I learnt a lot from FT and can't even fathom how difficult this journey would have been without all the fantastic brothers here. A lot of you have helped me and I will forever be grateful.

I hope my journal would have helped a few brothers. I will try to log in more to FT and participate more.

Cheers!

I’m very happy to hear about your great recovery and progress. I had my procedure with Dr. Condon too about one year after you had yours 3/13/24. How long did it take for your testicles to go back to normal? Mine are huge at the moment, with the right testicle very swollen. How many weeks for you until things settled down there?

Hello,
I remember that I struggled a lot with pain and swelling on scrotum for atleast 5-6 weeks. You are way too new in this recovery. I can only assure you that it gets better as days pass by. Also recovery is not linear and you will see good improvement post week 5. Just make sure you cycle as required. Cycling will be very painful in the beginning but you will soon get over it. Taking hot showers and pain killer helped me a lot.
