We need some success stories/positivity around here

Good Morning,

Last year at this time, I was 6 days from my RALP, & it was the last time that I was able to make love to my wife prior to surgery.

On 2/21/2020 I became bionic & was able to use my new toy 3 times since & each time is better than the last. It was a good decision for both myself & my wife.

My wife at first didn't want me to go through with the operation, because of having to go through surgery. I went to NYC for one week leaving my wife at home, because she is visually impaired & I knew it wasn't the place for her, incase something didn't go right. I had a few doctor appointments prior to my operation & one post-op.

I left NYC one day before the 1st coronavirus patient was diagnosed & as I look back I am happy with my decision.

In reading countless posts about it on this forum about tubing my takeaway is this: It's about 65/35. Some people feel them, some do not. The ones that do in large part do not mind but some have issues with it, mostly at the base of the penis and when flaccid. I feel like whether it's a Titan or an AMS doesn't really matter, the surgeon/doc plays a huge part in regards to the tubing and if it can/cannot be felt.

It's a big issue for me so I just want as many facts and opinions as I can get. I'm not sure how I would deal with it feeling the tubes in my penis from a psychological and even physical standpoint even if meant I could be the worlds greatest porn star at any time.

Those guys that feel the tubes probably have a 0 body mass index like me. 0 fat anywhere. The tubing still does not show and is not a problem. Most guys today( Merrix excluded) have a fat pad that would bury any tubing.

I am not 0 fat guy ( have a pubic fat pad) but tubing around penile base is feeled even thru the jeans. My wife also feel my tubings and even connecting place when touching and during intercurse.

tubes are less likely to be felt in the following situations:

1) peno-scrotal install means all the tubes come out the bottom of the shaft and go directly down into the scrotum (as opposed to the infrapubic apporach where the tubes need to wrap around the shaft as they then descend down into the scrotum)

2) no or few rear tip extenders mean that the tube to cylinder connection wil be farther back and potentially almost inside you.

Personally, my tubes are deep in side me, so i really have to dig deep along the undersurface of my shaft from the scrotum to feel them. No women, during foreplay, would ever dig that deep along the scrotum and shaft undersurface . Certainly, during oral sex , there is zero chance, in my case, that a woman would notice the tubes.

Aside from the above points on RTE and peno-scrotal, you will need a surgeon who takes his time to place, route, and length-cut the tubes exactly right. My surgeon stated that the inflation bulb position and the tubing leading from it are the hardest part of the surgery, and he takes great time and care to get that part exactly right. I think that the position of the bulb in the scrotum is what separates the "men from the boys" with regards to implant surgeons.

2) no or few rear tip extenders mean that the tube to cylinder connection wil be farther back and potentially almost inside you.

Unless you have a similar anatomy to mine, where I have almost no internal crus. My crus apparently is less than an inch deep and terminates just beyond the front part of the pubic bone (0.5-0.9" of crus, max).

with 15 cm implant cylinders and no RTEs, the plastic rear tip is right at the base of my penis - felt within my fat-pad. I have roughly a 14-15 cm penis length with a 15 cm implant. Since the plastic of the rear tips can be felt in the fat-pad, the tubing can be felt right at the base too - just under my penis, at 45 degree angles.

the tubes being hidden has been discussed un another thread. Here is a quote from an interesting analysis by waynetho to my response regarding tubes and penoscrotal:

I stated: "

I had penoscrotal (NOT infrapubic)

And, regarding my tubes ---- yup, I have an amazingly great install --- tubes cannot be felt----the shaft of my penis is totally smooth on top and underneath --- i am sure that the women must love it !

:

22cm with no RTE? If so, that makes sense. The tubing would exit the corporotomies so proximal that it would be inside the body instead of near the surface and it wouldn't be palpable.

Hello all, my name is G, I’m 32 yrs old from va I was implanted Jan. 2020 by Dr Ryan Terleckie in Winston-Salem Nc. I was implanted with a Ams 700 LGX 24
cm. This Dr is truly amazing very little pain everything went great. I went in with 9” and came out with more than I went in with. I am more than satisfied. if your in va or North Carolina he is definitely the guy to see. I research him good before and talked to former patients and everything they said was true. He has 0 infection rate and just a nice down to earth dr. You can see him perform the surgery on YouTube. I’m willing to talk to anyone with questions. P.S I love my larger flaccid package and how I catch women checking it out in sweat pants. Lol

We have the same doctor. I was truly impressed with Dr. T also and would recommend him to anyone. He is very down to earth and extremely helpful. He does get busy but when he's in the room with me he's always been 100% focused on me. I didn't loose any length either so I'm happy with that. Defiantly a great doctor. Like you I'm loving my larger flaccid as I went from an extreme grower (1.5-2 inches flaccid to 7 inches erect) to a definite shower. Where in NC are you located?

Is it just me or have there been an unusual amount of posts describing major problems/issues/bad experiences around here lately. It's getting me bummed out and not as "pumped" about getting an implant as I used to be. What happened to all the positive comments and happy endings? Does anyone have anything positive to say?

Hi Eric,
I have my bionic 9 weeks ago. I have never been happier in my entire life, with it comes to sex than right now. After surgery, I experienced almost no pain, zero bruises and it has been a smooth recovering. I started cycling at the second week and sex on the third week. I already have my pre-op side and I seriously believe, it will get bigger and thicker. I have had a lot amazing sex during this short time, I meant a lot. The compliments are incredible and nobody has asked me if I have an implant.
Thanks God I am single. I am having the time of my life after been a depressed death man. I feel mentally and physically healthier.
At the same time, I think it is good to hear and help those bionic brothers that need our support, no telling them how happy we are having a good sex but more important, giving hem hope and let them know that we are on this together, it is ok, to get frustrated, being in pain, ask questions, etc. We have one main thing in common. We used to have a death pathetic dick and the only function was pee.

I think what we need is truth, either positive stories or negative ones. Excluding the negative stories and just reading the positive creates too much expectation and can lead to unsatisfaction post-op.

There are guys that are very happy with the implant and this is very good! And there are guys not happy with it and dealing with a lot of difficulties, like me.

People need optimism BUT they need to know things can go south.

Absolutely true but I think the OP is wanting to see some positive outcomes (like mine). Most of us only seem to report the negative and I understand why. A site like this is a great source of information for anyone having troubles with their implant or just considering one. By all means if anyone is having problems get on here and ask but if you are having no problems and are loving your implant (again like me) get on here and tell everyone. Offer help to those who are having problems. I'm guilty of having a good outcome and sorta forgetting about this board, only checking in once in a great while. I'm trying to check in more often and offer advice when I can.

I have to agree along with Lunatech. If you need help, please bring it up. But on the other hand. I've noticed & I'm sure others have also. Many new members mention ALL the problems that they are reading about & think implants have very high trouble & failure rates.
I've read that AMS sells around 35,000 implants per year. The guys that have trouble with either brand are the ones searching for help with their implant problems. Most happy users are living a good life & see no need to follow FT or talk about their implant. Just my opinion anyways.
