I’m going bionic

Postby macattack » Fri Jan 12, 2024 5:47 pm

About a month back I had a consultation with Dr. Tajkirimi in Northern Virginia. I’ve had ED problems for many years up to a decade. He tried an injection that resulted in no erection whatsoever. After a Doppler ultrasound I was diagnosed with venous leakage. I could finally have exact answers to what my problems have been.

Today I completed the preop tests and physical and also got word that I am approved with my insurance for the implant.

I’m a little nervous but ultimate excited. At 51 I would never had predicted full blown ED. But I’m forging ahead and I can’t wait!

Thank to this forum, I’ve had a lot of questions answered along the way.

Wish me luck!

When i too was diagnosed with veinous leakage it was a true “a-HA!” moment. Finally i had the answer that “no. it’s not just all in your head”. Once i accepted that there was nothing that could be done, i then binge-read everything i could here and learned a great deal….and took the plunge.

AWESOME!

I'm sure you have scoured the site for people's experiences, if you haven't you should.
If you check my profile I posted my original experience and I've posted my experience with recovering from my most recent revision (installed January 2nd 2024)

Thanks, Jackhammer. I really appreciated reading your journal and learning from your experience. It has definitely helped me understand more of what to expect. I am one week away from the procedure and I am growing equally excited and nervous. At least I am still sleeping at night. I’m anxious for the next chapter to begin. Thanks for everyone’s support!
