1 year living with an implant
Posted: Mon Feb 24, 2025 3:27 pm
I started having trouble with my erection around my middle 60's. I tried viagra with very little success. I never tried the injections, sticking a needle in my penis didn't apeal to me. Developed Peronies disease at age 68. I did a lot of research and decided an implant was going to be my answer. I know from reading on frank talk who the top implanters in the us are but didn't think I would be comfortable flying to another state. I looked for a local uroligist who does a lot of implants and I found Dr Frank Simioncini in Gilbert, AZ. I made an appointment and he confirmed an implant would be the best option for me. After a few more appointments and test my surgery was scheduled. I went to surgery very nervous just like everyone else. Everything with the surgery went fine and I went home all bandaged up with a drain to be removed the next morning. After that appointment I was instucted to use pain meds as needed and ice for swelling. I followed the Drs instuctions and pain was easily managed with Tylenol and Ibuprofine.
I pretty much had the same feelings as everyone else after seeing my penis after surgery thinking OMG what have I done. Started thinking I should have flown to one of the big guys (not). My next appointment was 6 weeks later where I learned to inflate and deflate my implant. At that time I wasn't really in pain but it was sore to the touch so that was not a joyful experience. I was told at that point to start cycling my penis once a day, so the following day I started the cycling routine. The first time I did it on my own I was still a little sore from learning to cycle it, inflating it wasn't a problem at all but deflating it was another story. I think its like learning to ride a bike someone can show you or you can read the instructions but you are going to have to stumble through untill you get the hang of it. After about 6 months of cycling my size came back to what I was before and I think my girth is even bigger. It's been just over a year now and everything works as advertised. I think Dr. Simioncini did a great job, I'm glad I stayed local and I would definetly do it again. I think its nice to know that if something went wrong my Dr was right here.
