IMPLANT HELP ...

[CANADIANNORTH]

Hi guys , i am new to Frank Talk , i am Canadian 45 years old . I had a heart attack about 3 years ago and i am diabetic as well . I have a severe form of ED . Not even a morning erection specially after the heart attack . I used pills before but it was successful in 50 percent of the time .
Any ways , i asked my family dr. to refer me to a specialist regarding talking about implants . He did 2 months ago and i am still waiting for a call from him . Dr Elterman in Toronto western hospital .
My question is :
1/ any Canadian who did implant recently ? which Dr. did it for you ?
2/ Is there anyway to speed up the specialist appointment ?
3/ Why people prefer to do the inflatable implants as opposed to semi-rigid one ? i heard that inflatable ones has lots of mechanical failure and needs to be replaced after 8 years .
4/ I tried to call American Drs. their office replies the same day and they are much faster than Canadian ones , i mainly called Dr. Eid and Dr. Perito .
Any help is appreciated

All the best Joe 456 ...
I had no idea that this surgery would be covered by OHIP !!!! I was under the impression that we would have to pay for it .
Did you have a specific reason to go with inflatable implants ? I know the semi-rigid ones are a bit hard to conceal but they last longer than the inflatable ones .
How long did it take to see Dr. Elterman from referral ? I have been waiting for 2 months now . haven't received a call from him yet .
Please keep us updated post op . All the best again ...

I try pills they stop working . injection work only 2 or 3 time injections not good might leave you scared. If you go with Dr Brock in London at st joseph hospital .Its all free implant device is to nothng out of pocket . Just tell your doctor you like a referral to see him. Just tell Dr Brock what done so far and him for an implant .He will a routeen checkup with you He a great guy really compassionate to. Take your wife with you 1 month for Dr Elterman Did you recieve a letter from him yet?

3 piece inflatable implants are modern. They give a more natural experience. Malleable implants are old school. Today they are used if the patient has limited dexterity and cannot pump an implant. There is a higher risk of erosion with malleable implants.

I expect warranties may differ depending by country. It would be best to inquire for one's particular circumstances.

Lost sheep I already been told by Dr Brock Ams implants have life time warranties and so does Titan.

It was taking too long with Dr. Elterman , took more than 2 months to get an appointment . Just called Dr. Grober and booked an appointment with him . So far he is a great Dr. .

Is everything covered by healthcare with Dr. Grober?
