Larry, one point I neglected to make is when he does the revision and finds that he totally screwed up, that will never come to light. Suppose he forgot to put in the RTEs?
I still find it inexcusable that he left Tman that way.
I'm glad we can respectably agree to disagree though.

I don't forgive his mistake, I just appreciate that he is owning it and will fix it. Of course, he has to fix it correctly or else the wrath of all that is holy will drop on him. :)

It would still engorge big with blood pressure I guess, but I asked the doctor why he had pulled it in something like from a quarter inch to a half inch, not sure. I also asked why my cylinders were 18cm and my penis was much longer then that. He gave me a smile and said the cylinders were longer then 18 cm, but did not say much more about them only that he had added some rte's. I have requested from the records department what actually they done on my second revision, but have not received them yet. But even without pumping the implant up, I could get a semi erection. So I guess blood was still being fed to the gland.
The snake eyes you see for a couple of days is the nylon that is used to pull the cylinders into the gland.

My hospital did not give me the ID card and warranty info that comes with the AMS implant. I called Jamie at AMS and she located it and sent it to me. It is nice to know exactly what is in you, especially if there is a problem 10yrs down the line.

oldbeek, I didn't get Jack after my surgery.
I wouldn't have ever known what they put in unless I asked my attending nurse.
My surgeon was obviously skillful, but totally lacking in people skills.
I guess I'll also have to try to get the surgical report, but hate to go through that rig-a-marole.
What the hell does that term mean?

Just call Jamie at AMS. Maybe if enough of us bug them about getting the card, they will get on the docs to do their job. My bill said AMS charged $11,000 for the device. A little service is not to much to ask.

100% agree. The first time I got the implant, I got a wallet card. The second time I was given a form with the stickers, but when I asked Jamie, she sent me a bunch of blank cards... I don't know what blank cards are good for without the stickers. :)

The cards in my AMS packet were blank also. My doc said they don't do the stickers anymore. I did get him to have his AMS rep that was at the surgery send me a copy of the paper work with all the details on my implant. Serial and model numbers of every thing and then just wrote them on the cards.

I was implanted on 2/28 and needhelp was implanted on 3/17 and we both had stickers on our cards.
