Coloplast Titan - implant April 24, 2013
This morning I had my most recent follow-up with my surgeon. It's really been 8.5 months since implant. I prepared a list of questions as follows:
- peeing - how can I "empty" better as not to (occasionally) leak on my pants??
- "release" location is inconvenient but still doable
- are we stuck with the severe left turn?
- it seems to, even when I release it and get it pretty "flat", to "fill" back up over a few days. Not "real full", just not near as "empty" as it had been. I
sometimes squeeze the bulb one time (to lock it - read on the internet - doesn't seem to make any difference)
-lately have not been able to get it as "empty" as I have been. In general it works a bit better or worse for me on randomly different days.
As his answer to 2 and 3 and somewhat to the others as well was another surgery, these are simply "inconveniences" to me so, no new surgery until absolutely necessary.
As it is, I have very good sexual function, tremendous orgasms, something in my pants that feels like a dick again and have been having a LOT of fun with my new toy.
So after 8.5 months, 2.5 or so months of which were extremely painful, I told my doc: "damn I am glad I had this done!!!!" (Thank you Humana!!!)
