After many years of reading Frank Talk and receiving much good information I have made the decision to get an implant on Sept 8th ,Needless to say I am a little nervous but am hoping this is the answer.I tried injections for 3 years but finally they stopped working or at least they only worked for about 5 minutes then vanished without a trace.I also had a form of cancer called multiple myeloma that was discovered about the time things stopped working if you will.After treatment at the VA I am under control but not cured and will not be but they did a great job of preserving me.That said I am now ready to resume the fun part of my life and hence the implant date looming.As others have stated size is of concern to me I am hoping the LGX will do the job and maybe be up and running in 5 or 6 weeks.I am 68 now and still have wonderful and beautiful wife that has said whatever I want so I am going for it.I guess my question here is do the majority of you implant guys still endorse this procedure after going through all that it entails?I still have time to chicken out but the clock is ticking on my old body so I do not know what I have to lose except some length.I really would like to keep what I have or rather had!Thanks for listening and I cannot say enough about this website it has been my only source of info because it is current and entertaining as well.Derrickman

DONT BACK OUT!!!!!
I am 72 and just got an implant. I feel like I should have done this 10 years ago.
Pain was minimal- more like discomfort- Ice packs for the first 2 weeks were used.
I have not been activated yet but I feel like things can only improve from where I was prior to the surgery.
GOOD LUCK!

Richard
