Implant is Blessing / My story
PostWed Aug 29, 2018 5:05 am
It has been 2 full years since I have been implanted with a Titan, but for me the time feels right to share /summarize my story. I am 38 years old (36 at time of implant). No one has ever been able to find a definitive cause to my ED, but I truly believe Propecia/Finasteride deeply hurt my body and my hormone system. I would almost beg anyone not to use that drug. For 5 years prior to my implant surgery I watched my ED get worse and worse over time. The final year before the surgery I was watching my penis actually thin out / shrink before my eyes. I lost all sex drive / leg hair / had terrible brain fog/ and my testosterone
Levels crashed to 150 on multiple tests. With no blood flow in my penis and it being “cold” all the time I would feel as if I had to pee every second and I would drip in my underwear a lot. I literally tried everything from ( reg counseling to sex therapy to taking 200 MG of Viagra and cialis 2 times a day to try and get some blood flow but nothing worked.) I can not count the amount of doctors I saw over that 5 year span. I think the saddest day for me was when I left John Hopkins and they said there was nothing they could do / find why these things were happening to me. I could write so much more but I will spare everyone the ugly details. I will say thank god for my mother and father for being there for me along the way or I would not of been alive to write this. I can not explain how much I thought about / considered taking my life.
I finally found 2 doctors that would change my life. The first was Dr Eugene Shippen ( just retired this summer) who is one of the few doctors in the world who has been affective in treating finasteride suffers. Over the course of a year He was able to get me on a very good TRT / HCG protocol which would allow me to not be tired and weak anymore and also off depression medicine completely ( which I had to go on after a couple years of going through this) . Even though Dr Shippen helped me out a ton physically and mentally no matter what he tried it would not help my penis.
That is what led me to looking into an implant as a answer to having some kind of a life. I stumbled upon this very board and read stories that many of you wrote and I thank you a ton for that. That is also how I found my Implant surgeon Dr Kramer ( Maryland Medical center). Dr Kramer implanted me in June of 2016 and gave me a life again. In fact I have never had a life this good. I was worried I would lose size because of the surgery ( I did not). I remember the last thing I said to Dr Kramer before they put me to sleep was “I don’t expect this surgery to be perfect , but I just don’t want girls to laugh at me cause of this”. He chuckled at me and said “ I promise no one will laugh “ I really didn’t understand what he meant at the time but now I do… The last 2 years Have been incredible! I have slept with over 30 women , driven cross country for 40 days, traveled to Europe, and have been able to live a life I used to dream / would die for. I can’t explain what this surgery has done for my confidence and overall well-being. I feel like a man again… and like Dr. Kramer said no girl laughs they only love it / me when I am in bed with them…
Again I could write so much more, but I just want to Thank everyone on this board and also tell anyone ( especially younger guys this is a wonderful thing and something you will not regret if you are suffering from bad ED."
