Like I said many times thru out this posting,,,, it all comes down to whats right for a particular person at a specific time in there lives.
Everyone has there own reasons I guess,,,, I read so many posts on here asking the same question,,,, (Will I loose size) and I was also concerned about this, once I realized there was very little difference in size between the IPP and the MPP with my own anatomy I have been kicking myself for going thru all the hassle, pain, and risks of those surgeries
Just telling my experience's with both the IPP and the MPP,,, having had both of them,, I'm happy and confident I made the right decision.
But what is right for me,,, might not be for you..........
Oh,, and by the way, it was a beautiful day on the deck.
Thank you brother for sharing your story. Your barrel looks tall and proud, read to go to war at a moment's notice! As someone pointed out, it feels like your surgeon inserted two rods on the left and two rods on the right!
Regarding the IPP vs. MPP choice, it's always good to make informed decisions, and patients must know what they are getting into. I found this statistical data for anyone interested. This type of information should be shared with patients so they can give informed consent. I don't think it will ever happen due to financial incentives!
