Mine is a God Send

[TEBozo]

Not a religious man but I felt that I needed to share some thoughts with you guys:

1. Pills don't work and stopped working around 2009
2. My Blue Cross Insurance wouldn't even think about paying for an implant
3. Tried injections but they are HORRIBLE. Hurts, bloody, works sometime/bad injections; penis just flops up and down like its hinged at the base.
4. Thought that at 62 and very fit, my sex life was over. Very depressed.
5. Went to the best injection urologist in Dallas and he shot me up, tested me and even though he could get me hard, he said that, since I was single, I was not going to like injecting myself. Carrying the formula, the expense, the embarrassment of explaining that to a girlfriend.

I got on this site and talked to some of the men who had the implant and I got fired up. At the same time, I was referred to Dr. Allen Morey, an implant specialist at the UT Southwest Medical school. He told me that he'd put the Titan Coloplast in me and that I would love it! Had this funny glint in his eye. He said that he does as many as 10 implants a week! Uh-oh, no insurance help but then my company changed to Humana which paid 90% of the cost of the implant. Dumb luck, maybe, but I think that the whole process was a God send. All the dominoes fell into place and it wasn't luck. Here is the result:

1. I am 5 1/2 and very thick with a little upward curve. Morey left it in because it wasn't significant enough to disrupt my penis anymore and that it actually would be and is very pleasing to a woman.
2. Not one woman has detected it. Have had a few during this first year and now that I have a girlfriend, she has no idea. She has given me oral sex, had my scrotum in her hands and her only comment has been that my scrotum "felt so full."
3. I can go forever but if I am pumped up to 100% its a little hard to ejaculate and the glans can get a little sore.
4. My GF must think that I am a porn star. Never have to wait on a pill or injection, always ready to go. I just say that I want to go to the bathroom and I come back fully erect. I have gotten good at pumping so I can go to 80%, and give it a couple of pumps in bed .

I am so thankful for my new life and so many things had to happened to get me here. Men, the idea of being impotent at 60 just makes me shudder. If anyone knows someone who is trying to decide on this route, please let me know. I will talk to them and certainly pay this forward. this whole thing has been a second chance at life.

Thank you for sharing. I feel our insurance companies and even our own urologists miss how emotional this really is.
It is a very bad feeling that what we hold as so valuable is stolen away through no fault of our own.

Surely you don't believe the insurance companies give even the smallest hoot how we feel! They are interested in only one thing - shareholder value. Patients are just a nuisance.

Oh i know all to well they do not care. I was denied 3 times before my cancer doc wrote a love note to them. What i mean is they should look deeper into this and not just blanket deny because its a sexual issue.
