Questions to ask immediately before surgery
Hey everybody I am having surgery on May 12th and I was curious what questions or comments you all had with your surgeon right before you went under the knife. Did you reiterate maintaining length and girth with them? I believe the good surgeons already know that question is on our mind anyway? Should I waste my breath talking about it? Also, what other questions did you ask right before the surgery? Did you give the surgeon like a pep talk or anything to make sure his head was in the game? Thanks, any advice would be much appreciated and hearing your stories on here has been inspirational.

Re: Questions to ask immediately before surgery
I did tell mu surgeon that I wanted him to be able to say mine was the best result he'd ever had.
I did also request the scrotal incision and I was glad he did that.
I would also request the implant you prefer.
Usually, the surgeon will do what he thinks best.
I ended up with only a little swelling where the fat pad is and hardly any bruising.

Re: Questions to ask immediately before surgery
My doc only popped in for a quick second before surgery, to ask if I was still ready to go ahead. Since there was a nurse and my wife in the room I asked no questions.

Re: Questions to ask immediately before surgery
You know what - I did give them a pep talk.
I started with the fellow who came in first:
"Good pump placement - right? No loss of length - right? No infection - right?" I waited until he said yes to each question before asking the next one. I wanted to keep the most important things at the top of his mind.
Then when Dr. Levine came in I asked him if he was on his game today - because I couldn't afford any mistakes. He confidently told me yes, he'd had plenty of sleep and he "knows exactly how to do this."
Everything turned out excellent.

Re: Questions to ask immediately before surgery
Hey Guy,
I too was nervous with the unknown. Almost 11 weeks now, best think I ever did/ My dick was useless, soft, bent & I was not able to make love to my wife. Each day after the operation gets better & better. We have been able to make love more times since 3 weeks after the operation, than all of the last 2 years.
Look forward to your reward!
Good Luck Junior

If he's any good at all he knows EXACTLY what you're thinking/feeling. Just be sure you understand what his post surgery plan is = when to cycle, etc., as that widely varies. Good luck. The next couple weeks are gonna suck, but few ever regret the decision.

Re: Questions to ask immediately before surgery
Thanks again everyone for all the feedback guys. I have my surgery at 7:30 am tomorrow then I will bionic. Kinda surreal! I'm cautiously optimistic what the future has to offer after this, even though I am nervous as hell right now. I will definitely keep you all posted on my progress/setbacks etc. as I know many of you have gone through this and will be of great insight. Can't express how awesome FrankTalk is and all the members on here. Appreciate all of you!
