31 yrs old implant journal
Posted: Tue Mar 14, 2023 7:31 am
Hi all,
I joined the Bionic brotherhood on 3.13!
A bit about my background:
Growing up, I was always athletic and fit, but I remember erection quality significantly worsened when I was 14-15 years old without any obvious trigger. Before coming to the US a decade ago, I lived in an Asian country where most doctors still thought of ED as old man’s problem, so I was told repeatedly that “it’s all in my head.” I started using pills at the age of 20, and they worked really well until I was 27. I still remember when pills suddenly stopped working: two days before, half dose Cialis was still working like a charm, then out of nowhere it just stopped, to the point that even if I triple the max dose (60 mg of Cialis or 300 mg of Viagra) it would still be hit or miss.
I don’t know whether this was driven by tolerance or worsening underlying conditions, but in either case, the sudden onset seems strange. Anyways, when pills stopped working, I became desperate and started doing my own research online, and that was when I found FrankTalk.
Like many guys, the idea of a penile implant was unimaginable to me initially. I was married at the time, so my plan was to try injections. But before I actually tried injections, the marriage fell apart for a variety of reasons. I don’t think my ED was a main issue there, but it definitely didn’t help. After that, I’ve decided that enough is enough, and I need to finally resolve my ED problem. Since I am single again and need to date, injections are no longer very feasible. I reached out to Dr. Eid and Dr. Levine, and was impressed by both. Since Dr. Eid later fell sick, the decision became simple for me. Dr. Levine injected me in his office, it turned out that I wasn’t super responsive to injections anyways. He diagnosed me with venous leak, and we scheduled a surgery date.
Fast forward, yesterday, I went through my surgery. Dr. Levine implanted me with Titan classic pump 20cm+1.5cm RTEs. I was able to pee post-op (albeit painfully), so no catheter was needed. I was discharged with a mummy wrap, no drains, so no need to visit the doctor’s office again until activation date, which is in four weeks. I plan to follow Dr. Levine’s instructions religiously to optimize the recovery, and if you have any useful tips for infection prevention post-op, I’d also really appreciate them!
Thanks for your attention. I’ve honestly learned so much from FrankTalk, and have received many heartwarming encouragements from other members, which meant a lot to me during an otherwise challenging chapter of my life. I’ll update this journal periodically, which hopefully can help other guys with similar situations.
