Saw the doc for a final check that the incision infection is over. I was certain it was but this was the professional opinion.Claims insurance company requires a final inspection and release. I think it is about collecting another fee and doubt the insurance is requesting another fee to pay. Body just doesn't like internal stitches.

Doc asked how I like the implant. My wife told him that we don't like the lost size before I could answer. He then asked more about the size loss, noted the extra loose skin stating " I can see you were bigger at one time", then went on to say "don't worry about it, your penis will shrink to the size of your new device and you will get used to it". I said atrophy, right? He replied, "Yes, atrophy would be the term". This is the second or third time a doc told me my dick will shrink to fit the implant. Buggers. I told him the implant is supposed to expand over time. He told me "that only happens in soft body types. You have a lot of muscle and tough dense muscle tissue will be there too so the device will be in competition with the dense masses to expand, You may get some expansion but likely not".
Double buggers.

Be well.

Have you thought about - vacuum pumping when Flaccid, leave on the tube, pump implant to try to occupy vacant space??

That looks like an awesome idea, definitely. Care to try and gives your thoughts?

I agree,,,,pump to regain lost size. Also I regained some lost length and volume (because the Doctor implanted a too-small implant). Read my Thread and see how I used pumping and a c ock ring to regain much of what I lost.

I've been asked this several times now. I did try vacuum pumping with the implant as suggested. The dorsal side end of the tube cylinder sits on top of the wad of tubing ( above my dick, this is an infrapubic implant) and hurts like hell. Probably hurts worse than anything I can do to this thing. No, this is not going to work. Might work if it had been a scrotal implant.

Quite a few weeks ago I found this by accident:-

I would sure like to try it but still having some inflate/auto-inflate probs right now.

Hi,
So, if the implant is too small, the work was not done right.
Why not going to see Dr. Kramer, for sure he can fix it.
You deserve a professional job by a surgeon.
Right?

Kramer's finance gal says United Healthcare cancelled the contract with U of M Medical Center and Dr. Kramer and it likely will never be renewed. In other words, they do not take my insurance else I would have already been there. d

That's too bad Kramer cancelled United Healthcare- just bad for people in general when this happens. When I went to Kramer he had 5 implants booked on every single wednesday for the next 4 months, the issue was it was impossible to even add on new patients. Then I heard he cut the lower paying ones.. Guess it makes sense, but too bad.

The story they told me was that United Healthcare got in a dispute with U of M Medical Center and UHC cancelled them. Who knows what the real story is? Bottom line is someone always wants more money or to pay less. We are are the ones that pay. I was ready to schedule then gt this dropped into the game. Guess when you are booked up far enough in advance you do not need any lower paying any more. I know what it was like to take any job I could get and I know what it was like when I was contracted out a year or more in advance. 2 different worlds but you still work your ass off either way.
