LGX700 - 3 DAYS TO GO!!!

Postby RugbyDave » Tue Jul 23, 2013 11:03 am

I will be checking in to hospital this Friday - 7am, 26 July to get my LGX700 Implant. It has been a long 5 years since I was diagnosed with pc and had open surgery to have my prostate removed (14 July 2008) and I’ve had Ed ever since.

I have tried all of the pills, potions and injections and I now know that having an implant is the right route for me. I am I have to admit a tad apprehensive or is it scared. At any given time it’s one or the other or a mixture of both, with more than a bit of excitement thrown in.

I am going to try and log it all on here - before and after. I have done some before photos already, flaccid, pumped and injected – more for comparison than anything else. As soon as I can I will get a log going with photos etc.

See you on the other side….

Best wishes Dave on a smooth procedure and rapid recovery. Ice will be your new best friend for a while afterwards -- just take it easy for a few days. Listen to the doctors and follow their suggestions to a "T". No matter how badly it might hurt in the beginning ( and it will ) don't forget to tug down on the pump in the scrotum. You will be glad later that you did.

God's speed

Dave,
Congrats! ... along with the ice packs, don't forget the stool softener, and I would highly recommend a inflatable donut cushion. I still use mine after a year ...
