I think we are in the right place. I wish I found this site before I did the Coloplast Titan Touch implant. There are lots of post you and sort through or create your own as you have. Today I am 3 weeks since implant. Have a High volume Dr and he is very caring and detailed. I am healthy, 71, with ED for about 5 years. Tried everything: Pills, Trimex, EWST, vacuume, LIESWT. Pills and Trimux worked for awhile. Surgery 3 weeks ago was tough. My 45 min to 1 hour surgery lasted 6 hrs and 20 minutes. Scared my wife even though they notified her. My issue was I had crossover which they had to work on and get corrected. After I was almost done, the inflation test showed a leak due to all the previous work. Dr had to remove the cylinders and reposition the new ones. He claims all is perfect now. I was inflated to 50% for 10 days and now totally deflated till week 6... why deflated? Think because all that went wrong. So here I am at week 3 today. Sitting on a warming pad at 4:40 AM. Ice is still my friend too. Looks alot better but left side swollen and a little painful. This site gives you the reality of the implants. My original searches, were the Coloplast and AMS site. Oh sure it's helpful, but they make it seem like 6 weeks you in the clear. I now see maybe some get back quickly, but most take awhile, and it seems to be a lengthy process of cycling the implant for many months. So hope this helps you, and I may repost at 6 weeks. FrankkTalk really has lots of great talks about the reality of the implant. Most guys seem very happy in the end, but don't be in a hurry! Good luck!
