Hi Warren:
I understand how difficult the decision can be. There are so many stories of problems here on franktalk that I too would likely be pretty scared. I think that you need to realize that 90 percent of implant patients are "satisfied". We do not read about them in general here on franktalk because the natural evolution for the satisfied patient is that they eventually realize that they have been cured of ED, and they stop visiting franktalk because they have moved on to live a fine and fulfilling sex life without issues.
For me, this is exactly what is happening. I am 8 months after surgery by Dr Eid. I am 100% satisfied. I am "free" to think about things other than my ED since the implant has truly cured me. My posts here to franktalk have decreased since I am cured and have moved on.
My feeling of self worth and feeling of being a "totally potent strong male" are really awesome to have now that I have a great implant.
Last month, there was a thread by someone who encountered a site on the internet listing all the complications of implants. there was a great discussion, but I remember a simple comment from Catman which really held true:
LMCatman once stated : it is "how bad do you want it ?"
Before surgery, I spoke to a number of Dr Eid's patients , and one of them stated, "you know, before surgery I decided that I just do not want to go out like this" In other words, the guy meant that life was becoming meaningless without sex and that he just couldn't see facing the prospect of living life and eventually dying wihtout being able to have sex. So he opted for the nuclear option of an implant , and now he is glad he did it.
I, too, felt confident about making the decision to have the surgery because I had no other options. I too can completely understand the simple statement of Catman "How bad do you want it." For me, I wanted sex really really bad, and I was willing to take risks and pain to get it.
Today, I am 100% satisfied. I have a really awesome dick that works every time and performs like superman. When I walk into the bedroom, I have 100% confidence in my ability to sexually perform like a stud.
Yes, I remember being scared when walking to the surgery center that cold morning in February. I remember the sleepless nights before surgery thinking about the troubles with implants some have reported. But here was my mantra for using when you approach the surgery date:
"Don't be a pussy, hold your head up high, standup and fight that beast called "erectile dysfunction" like a man" ---- TANGERINE
