Your depiction of emotional and physical preperation of the implant surgery is quite accurate. All the concerns and questions you bring up are valid. Our privacy and modesty goes right out the window. Everyone, including the lady that mops the floor could get a peek at your dick. The pain/discomfort we endure as well as the emotional strain placed on the relationship. The rest we need and the icing of the whole area to try and prevent swelling. Another issue if your a private person is how you deal with the people around you both loved ones and colleagues in explaining/or not what you are having done surgically. All things that reflect opting for an implant. Personally i consider myself one of the lucky one and i am happy with the outcome of this decision. I now have the ability to have sex when i want and how i want. I dont have to ingest, insert or inject anything to help me. What i have now is by far more natural than anything i tried to use for an erection. In addition, the implant has made sex fool proof. If im tired or i had to much to drink. Even if im not very much in the mood or not very sexually stimulated. I can grab hold of my nuts and with a few well placed and deliberate squeezes have a raging erection i can please my partner with but more than that, i can please myself. I have confidence. I feel like a man again. So the road we have to travel to have an implant surgery and everything that goes with it is the best thing ever. I would do it over again in a minute. So for those who will ask themselves, is it worth it. Hands down. I would walk to the hospital on broken glass to do it again. Very satisfied with the outcome.

Well said Bandit! I feel the same way. Although I really never gave it too much thought about who knew about in the hospital. But granted, I was only there over night, and was feeling good on the pain medicine. The last few years I had to inject to get an erection. Man, I'm so glad I don't have to do that any more. Im 3 months post op and love it!

I could not comment on injections as the one did not work. Dr Hakky told me he could mix up a high enough dose that nay work, but would do more damage

Not to offend anyone already implanted, but if you want to reply and bring out the how great my dick is car saleman approach then you missed the whole point of what I wrote. If this thread becomes another of the hundreds that does nothing but spoutes how great my life is with my new dick, I will have Larry delete it.

You make a lot of perfectly good points. It is a difficult decision to make for a lot of men and there partners to have an implant. There are many factors to consider. It will also take a physical and emotional toll on a person as you stated. I personally had a tolerable recovery with little pain although there was consideeable swelling. I know some brothers suffer tremendously. I also know that others have had results that are less than adequate. Like i said, i am one of the lucky ones. Sure i love my new dick now, but thats not the point. I love what my new dick gave me. And for those considering an implant, i just wanted to say that all we have to go through is worth it. Like i said, you make many good points and the decision is not an easy one. No intension of slamming you or your thoughts on the subject because everything you say is quite valid. We are all in the same boat to some extent. My decision to implant was plain to see because all other options failed. But agreed, it is a big hill to climb, but there is light. And thats the point !

That's what happened with me. When I was doing plain ole bimix, it was great. No pain, and no refrigeration. And it worked in 5 minutes. But about this time last year, it started to not be as effective. It would work and then it wouldn't. And suddenly, in the beginning of this year it stopped working all together. Then I had to go to stronger and stronger mixes of trimix and quadmix which caused a lot of pain for me, and they really didn't get my fully hard.

Thinking about an implant? Think long, hard, inquiringly, critically. Your decision to go with an implant will be for all intents and purposes irrevocable.

For me, I added up where I was; I couldn't get an erection with injections any more and the VED stuff was just to contrived for me or my spouse. This left me in an implant or no sex position. Then I read everything I could find on implants, especially the bad stuff, calculated my odds and decided that the payoff was higher than the risk and went for it. Getting an implant is and should be a deliberate and difficult decision.

I had some bumps in the road. One month delay due to a bladder obstruction that had to be fixed first. Walking around with a "snake" growing out of your penis for two weeks isn't much fun; better than open RP recovery but still not fun. The actual implant surgery and recovery we blessedly for me relatively pain and swelling free. The results, EXCELLENT.

Implants do fail! At 4 and a half years mine did. I am now three weeks after a replacement (revision) surgery. This surgery has had a bit of a different recovery pattern but is still very good. One drawback, I know what the results are like when the healing is done and I am impatient.

Still my response to thinking about an implant are; think long, carefully, skeptically, and then weigh all the options and the pros and cons. When you make your decision stick with it and enjoy the results what ever they will be.

I will never tell someone to get an implant or not to get an implant, I will only say that it was the right thing for me and good enough that I did it again.
