A Question for Heavy Lifters and/or Active Military

[newbiehere23]

Yes for sure I have HF. Have had it for nearly a decade. Can manage with pills but it’s not ideal. How was your erogenous sensation with HF? Most people report reduced pleasurable sensation like myself. Has that returned as well?

DM me with whatever questions you might have.

Thanks man just messaged you

I've never heard of a reservoir breaking, ever. In the early days post-surgery you just wanna chill so the reservoir remains right where the surgeon put it, and your abdominal muscles don't squeeze and force it out into some other spot it's not supposed to be in. But by now you should have a web of healed up scar tissue holding it in place.

Okay! This makes me feel a lot better. Thanks, man! That was weighing on me because I really do need to take this job.

I remember my surgeon telling me that no amount of squeezing pressure could cause the implants or the reservoir to rupture. But something sharp (needles, knives) or blunt force trauma could do it. I was only told to stay out of the gym for 6 weeks post op.

Wow man impressive. How many revisions have you had and when could you start working out again after your procedure?

Thanks, man! This is DEFINITELY helpful. Okay, so it sounds like I'll be alright

Incidentally, that's fucking amazing and inspiring, man. I thought about getting to the gym but, again, was worried about the implant. Now I have no excuse. I'm really skinny and would like to build definition.

How do you work your abs? Can you feel the reservoir?

According to your signature, it was Clavell who told you this?

I have had one revision in Feb. 2022.
Didn't lift for first 4 weeks after surgery.
Although 3 weeks out, I was doing isometric squeezes of muscles. (Basically hard flexing)
4 through 6 weeks took it easy. After 6 weeks was back to lifting heavy.

Wow so according to your signature you went 20 years with your failed implant??
