Pre implant appointment

Postby 4rest4rest » Sun Oct 22, 2023 9:10 pm

So, I've been putting this implant off for three years for various reasons.

My pre surgery work is coming up and will be followed with a surgical date.

My urologist is familiar with my situation. After failing pills, trimix worked about 2 years, quadmix worked best but made me incredibly sick so no go there....

Specifically, what can I expect with this visit?

Thanks,
F

Welcome to the site. Doctors differ a great deal. So there is no way to really tell unless you provide a doctors name and location and there is someone who went to that doctor on this board to give information, Some doctors do testing and others do not. I had no testing done other than a UA and a surgery certification. Others have imaging and even induce an erection. Only thing the doctors I went to did was a brief examination and a stretch estimate. That estimate is really worthless. It is just a low estimate to give the doctor a base line to hopefully exceed. Best of luck to you with this.

You will get a truly HUGE bolus of answers if you do not wait for current members to reply, but just cruise through a couple years of posts in the "implants" section and click on ones that look fruitful. A lot of good information from members no longer here, so some information that you will not otherwise get. Many, many threads discussing exactly what you need to know, including a couple of really good posts listing the questions a prospective implantee should have in a list. Sorry, I do not have links to them handy. One link I do have handy is a massive missive that member Tangerine wrote. So here is that link.

Welcome to Frank Talk. There is pretty much anything about the male member that has been discussed here.
Best advice is ask the doc anything and everything you are concerned about. They have heard all the strange, funny, weird questions before.

FT site is a great resource! I recorded my pre op visit on voice memo on my phone so I could listen to it a few times....When you are actually with the doctor you will miss many details in his/her responses. My pea sized brain was swimming with questions and what if's so I missed a few pertinent details. It was nice to have as a reference.

Read the "Documents Worth Reading List" in the General Discussion Thread.

My personal favorite is the pfd pamphlet that Tangerine authored. I read it every day. I believe Thailandbound has also recently recommended that.

Good luck to you.

Best thing I've ever done for myself.
