Oliver's Story

Hi Jack

Jack and my stories are much alike but with different outcomes. I'm 66, about 50 lbs overwieght, and some health problems. I can't give you exact dates but you'll be able to see a time line how I got to this point

I had a vasectomy in 1973. I started having HBP sometime in the 80's. Then in late 2000 my wife said I wasn't getting as hard as I used to. So the next time I went to the Dr. and told him he prescribed Vagra. I started taking them and the first few worked like a dream or maybe I was dreaming. After the first few they worked off and on, more off then on. The next Dr. (GP) I had made a comment that there was surgery for ED and I knew that I wanted that, but I was afraid of having the surgery.

In 2002 I had emergency bypass surgery (4) The Dr. (Cardiologist) told me he didn't know why I was walking. Because I needed to use Nitro on every once in a while. I had to, and was happy to stop the pill. By this time the pill was just a burning money.

My (GP) sent me to a Uro and we started using a VED. He did say there was surgery for this but I had to try all the other options first. I knew I wanted to go there (an implant) and started to check it out. The VED gave me a very nice erection. It was bigger around and maybe a little longer. I tried to pump ever night and it started to stay a little larger as long as I pumped every night but as soon as I missed a night or two it deflated down to its normal size. I had to use a small ring and most of the time I used two. It hurt like hell to have them on, my little friend would turn purple and when I ripped them off I though all the skin was coming with it. I also could not ejactulate untill I took them off. This was less that ideal for us.

Next we tried shots but they didn't work very good so we used both the Ved and shots. The shots also hurt (not giving the shot) while wating for it to go down. The last time I used the shot I tried 60 units. 40 is the most you were supposed to use. 60 units did nothing, it just hung there looking at the ground.

All during this time of failure we had a good sex life. We both like oral, we have toys and we invented some games that helped but it wasn't the same. Using just the VED we could get it "puffed" up, but not enough for pentration. Not being able to pentrate and ejactulate into her was devastating. I think the guys with ED and their gals will understand what I talking about.

The time was here. I'm going to get an implant. I want it now, after all how bad could it be? After bypass surgery this will be a snap. It can't be much more that a vasectomy, you know a little cut in the sac, slide a couple tubes into your weiner, put a bag up in your belly and drop in the pump. Piece of cake.

A couple of mistakes I made was not finding the penile implant blog at Yahoo. I tried Web Md but couldn't get a responce. Another mistake was wanting a implant so bad I would have jumped up on a fender of a car and let them do it in the parking lot. I did ask the Uro how many he did and he said 6 or 7 and I was talking per month, He was talking per year. I also asked about loss of lenght, something I could not afford. All he would say is that the head would be soft, well He was wrong there. Another mistake and DON'T YOU make the same..CHECK, check, check did I say check out your Uro. The surgery is not simple and don't want to get what I got.

The day was coming..Go in have my pre op check up and be there the first thing in the morning, have the surgery wait a week jump on a plane and go to Daytona...As soon as the girls did my EKG I knew something was wrong. The Dr. said he though I had had a heart attact. Oh shit another delay. Two weeks later I had a stress test and everything was ok. The date was set, April 16, our wedding anniversary. What a presant.

I finally had it done, I got it, its in me only 6 weeks to go. I got home and the first thing I found out was the pump was so low in my sac that I would sit on it. That was where most of my pain came from. I do like where it is now.

The time came to get the first pump up. He pumped it up and WHERE THE HELL DID IT GO!!??? All the ass hole would say is you got a nice hard erection walked out the door and had his nurse come in and try to put it down. I started out with 5.25" and ended up with 3" That's almost 43%. We cried for weeks. I have an erection but its not long enough to get where it has to go.

I've been on the yahoo blog for 4 yrs or so and have wrote many times about Our loss. I get people typing back saying I should be happy with 3" hard over 5.25" soft. My responce to them is try it! Get a cock ring or a piece of tape and put it on with only 3" of useable penis and then type back to me and let me know if we should be happy. I've never heard back from anyone.

Another problems I'm having is getting one side to come down. I would say it will only go down 10% of the time the first time I try. It can take anywhere from 1/2 hour to 8/9 hours to get it down. I also have what I think is a knot in a tube. At times when it comes down it won't come down as far as the other side, so then they don't go up even. So I end up with the head bending to the right.

I know this is getting long so I just want to add is I am NOT tring to talk anyone out of having an implant. DO IT, DO IT,DO IT. I'm going to as soon as I can find a BEST Uro to do it. And get the insurance to work with me When you do it just be sure to CHECK out the Uro, try to find a Male Sexual Function Specialist, don't hurry a few weeks more won't any difference.

By the way the Quack (Uro) that screwed me up left town and moved to Texas.

Feel free to email me if you have any questions If I can help you I would be more that happy to answer your questions. w26b265@yahoo.com
