Healing Well Friends.
I just returned from my two month post-activation check-up of AUS and penile implant with my surgeon.
When the doctor walked in, I gave him a big grin. "My wife wanted me to tell you that you did a great job with the implants." He grinned big. I think he's the kind of doctor who is very pleased to help his patients. As a matter of fact, I know he is.
After a few questions to him and answers, he wanted to look. I dropped my pants and he pumped me up. I counted his pumps: 1, 2, 3, 4, ...15 16. That brought it to full attention. We discussed some minor concerns and he then asked "How often do you use it?" "As often as I can" was my smart reply. "I mean, how many times a week or month or..." "I use it an average of twice per week." He gave another big smile. I think that's a pretty great thing to be able to say at our age. And HW friends, when I say I use it, I mean I use it to full and complete satisfaction.
Healing Well friends, I am very, very pleased that I had these two implants. I regret having to do something, but I believe I chose the right path for the wife and I. I now have my life bac aftr prostate cancer took it away.
I've copied the original Q's ad A's and pasted them below:
How good is the implant erection?
I will be activated in one week. I perhaps could answer yor question after that time. From what I read of others who have had the implant, the general consensus is that the implant erection is good.
Now that I have been activated for six weeks, I can answer a little more detailed. The implant erections is much, much better than the days of ED following surgery. In my opinion, mine is not quite as good as before, due mainly to the 3/4 of an inch shortening I experienced. But it certainly beats no erection. The wife and I are now experiencing very, very good intamacy again, with good orgasms. It is different... but good.
Do you still feel the same sensations?
Yes.
More: I was not as sensitive as pre-prostate removal, but have now gained back full sensitivity.
Is it obvious that there is something artificial in there to you and your partner?
It's obvious to me because I know it as a fact. But I am told others do not notice unless informed. There is some extra "hardware" in the scrotum, but it is not readily noticable.
Can you ride a bicycle with one of these implants.
Yes; after the doctor releases you to do so.
Do you feel it when its not inflated?
I have not yet been inflated. Will know in a week.
More: When the doc first inflated, it hurt. He grabbed it, bent it around, and attempted to explain some things. Now that I am six weeks post activation and have inflated and deflated tens and tens of times since then, and have regained intamacy with my wife, the pain is almost... almost gone. I have been told by others who have experienced the implant, that after more time, I will not notice any difference. I am close to that point now and I am enjoying my new erections.
What do you look like in the locker room when its not inflated?
I have not been to the locker room and only my surgeon, his nurse, the uro nurse at the hospital, the class of medical student (Next day after surgery...boy, was that an experience), and a PA has seen it. But I can tell you in the mirror I look good. I mean, in my opinion, I've never looked better. I think my wife agrees.
More: Flacid, I look larger than my former flacid state. This is due to the fact that implants do not normally recede up into the body as before implant. Neither does the penis shrink as much as it did pre-surgery flacid. This means the "look" is noticably larger. This bothered me at first because I did not like the idea of showing a bigger "package" through my slacks. Now I am used to it and don't really care. It is now who I am. In my opinion, I still look better down there than ever in the mirror. Of course, looks mean nothing if it does not work.
Nother question and answer:
Is it true that you will lose some length in the penis after implant?
Yes. Some. It varies from man to man. But it works good. Very, very good.
