Someone on this board once said that they "feel like changing their birthday date over to their implant surgery date" since this seemed like such a positive life altering milestone that it deserved celebration every year.

Others have stated that "implant was the best decision of my life"

QUESTION: "who on this blog believes the implant was monumental enough to justify annual celebrations on your surgery anniversary date ?

I certainly agree...you have to celebrate the day your ED was slamdunked into the dustbin of history!!!

without a doubt. I only wish I didn't wait.

At the very least, I'll sure send my urologist/surgeon a 'Thank You' card each year for the amazing Quality of Life he's returned to me! That's priceless! I first thought of this idea after a neurosurgeon at the National Institutes of Health performed what was then an experimental procedure to dissect a micro tumor from my pituitary gland in 1993. I had waited 16 years for them to come up with both a diagnostic to find, as well as a surgery to remove pituitary tumors. (This neurosurgeon had invented the procedure.) I was a little "belated" with my 'Thank You' note actually. I thought of it 8 years after my surgery! But perhaps that was even more striking to my surgeon! He wrote back an incredible, warm caring letter relaying his own thanks to me! I doubt that many surgeons and doctors get the thanks and recognition they deserve from patients after performing some of the most intricate, delicate, often lifesaving procedures that not too long ago were mere fantasies in a surgeon's mind. 12 years after my (successful) experimental surgery at the NIH, the "revised version" was depicted in Season 1 of the TV series "House" in the episode named "Heavy". (This was aptly titled considering when I went in for my surgery I was 225 lbs with a 44" waist. 8 months later (no diet; no exercise) I was 136 lbs and buying my first pair of 29" low-rise jeans since high school! (I know, I know... TMI... Guess you hadda be there! ) And this actually IS related to my penile implant! My implant would NEVER have looked as good (or even been seen!) in 44" baggy jeans!!

I've said this here more than once - an implant is life changing only if you get it in time. If you need an implant, go ahead and get it. Don't put it off for years like I did - nothing good happens while you're waiting.

I will not change the date. All my 52 years have given me the time to develop the expertise needed to use it for what is intended: have a great sexual life with my wife!

Haha that was funny!

October 3, 2016 is the day I will remember as long as I live. The day I became a complete functioning man again. I thank God for my implant and my Frank Talk brothers!
