For guys getting/considering implants…a conversation at Urology clinic this week
Posted: Fri Feb 16, 2024 2:16 pm
So this past Wednesday I had to go in for a much overdue TRT follow up at the Urology clinic. After my implant I liked the surgeon/staff well enough to go ahead and have them take over all my urology needs.
I saw the PA. He’d been great during my implant recovery. He asked how it was doing now that I’d passed the four year mark. Naturally I told him great, that this site talked me off the ledge the first couple of weeks, that I had done the same for others. I told him how Franktalk had me a lot more knowledgeable about the process since I had it done and wondered if they did revisions.
He said of course they did, and typically the replacement was less complicated than the original surgery. We didn’t get into @what are you gonna put in me next since we are at the limit of the 18 cm LGX + RTEs.
The thing that stands out about this conversation, and the PA agreed 100%: the first 2-3 weeks after surgery, the patient is typically going to think “what the fuck have I done to my junk?” After that, the question becomes “why in the hell didn’t I gave this done 10 (or 20) years ago?”
Guys all think they’ll be different. But invariably, even in a routine, uncomplicated, pain free recovery like I had….this is gonna happen. Be ready for it. Don’t fight it. It’s normal.
