Cancelled Implant

I had been planning to be re-implanted in January but cancelled due to doubts concerning going with the Titan again. As I posted before I had problems with the Titan and it's installation by my DR. 6yrs ago and it was removed . I had a hunch that a resident may have done the surgery but I can't prove it, just a hunch. Among several issues the tips of the implant were poking out the underside of my penis below the glands when flaccid but would enter the glands OK when inflated. I was scared that it would poke through. I still am considering being implanted but will not go through with it unless I am more confident of a better outcome . I feel that the AMS 700 LGX would be a better fit for me due to comfort which will be a big issue for me. Does anyone have experience in the Western PA area with doctors using the AMS. The flaccid feel and appearance to me is very important. I want it out of the way when not in use. How is the feel of it when soft. The Titan to me had a plastic type of feel when fully drained which didn't last long and would quickly start to refill leaving me feeling like I had a stick in my dick. Another issue I had was that a large mass of tissue formed around my pump the size of a cue ball . The doctor at the time didn't seem to know what it was.

Ams will give you a more natural flaccid penis.

Hello chonky, I'm sorry you or any of us have to deal with problems AFTER our implants. The implant was supposed to be the ultimate fix to our problems! Am I correct that your implant was removed 6 years ago? (from your signature) I have a Titan also, and you described yours when deflated would quickly fill up and you would feel like you had a stick up your dick. I keep deflating it, and I would swear it would refill a little bit. Mine sticks straight out & if you touch it has that plastic-rubber feel. I'm thinking this is how Coloplast implants are. My issue is a mass of tubing sticking out. I see my doc on Tues. You can ask for your hospital surgery records, it may reveal who did your implant, although I don't know how long they're required to keep them. Even with my issues, I'm glad I got my implant. Hope you find a surgeon that will provide a successful outcome. VegasED

Call Dr. Kramer as you are close enough to him. I have AMS and love the natural look. I drove 8 hrs for him and never thought about going to anyone else after a year reading and watching.

You know there are thousands of excellent surgeons worldwide right? Just wonder why there are people on here who seem to think there is only one surgeon out there qualified enough to perform this surgery flawlessly. (either Kramer or Eid).

Come on Larry, Dirtman didn't say there aren't any other surgeons who are excellent. All he said is what he would do.
This forum is for sharing experiences and perhaps advice. I know there are lots of great surgeons, but I can only recommend one since I've only had one. And yes, it would be Kramer...

Bob, re-read it... "Call Dr. Kramer". You should read the posts with my eyes. Because I am the moderator, I read EVERY POST. There are probably 5-10 posts a day where somebody is telling somebody else that the need to call Kramer or Eid. Some even word it like if they don't bad things could happen... bullshit. As I have said many times, in the absence of bad comments, one can only trust their doctor. What about all the doctors that Kramer and Eid have trained? Are they crappy doctors because they are not the real thing??

I am shopping docs also. Have noticed on here several guys lately had pumps installed to high by Kramer and required a re do

I had an AMS before I was re-implanted with the Titan. For the reasons cited above, I wish I had not switched.
