I have all of the bloodwork testing, urines and saliva's, (all positive) but I have yet to be diagnosed since I do not appear to have a tumor anywhere (yes I have had 3T) but nothing is showing up yet.

I have had very bad experiences with the last two Endo's I've seen and I honestly need a break from all the gaslighting.

Has anyone here had any meaningful improvement on ANYTHING after trying peptides?

Not looking for any other advice at this time (although I know everyone means well), just looking for maybe some peptides to try to ease my misery until I get brave enough to try another Endo.

Background: 51yo, healthy, no co-morbidities, pills never worked, went all the way to Quadmix with no useable PIV erections for years. Severe Venous Leak.

22cm Titan, Penoscrotal, not sure yet of which pump, need to look at paperwork. High volume surgeon in Arizona.

First 24 hours was quite rough. I had a hard time coming out of Anesthesia, which hadn’t happened either my two previous surgeries. Feeling slightly better now. Took a Perc right away, then alternated 500mg OTC’s, and took another Perc upon waking this morning. Very hard getting in/out of bed and up/down off couch. I can definitely feel the pump in my abdomen and it’s making me feel like I have to pee constantly?

Ice Ice Ice is helping.

Questions: I have a drain in, and so far in 24hours I’ve emptied it four times for a total of 160ish ML blood. Is this too much? My follow up and unwrapping is tomorrow at 8am. I’m wrapped and in a jock pointing mostly straight up. Trying to walk around a bit but that seems to increase the drain output. For those with a drain, when did it switch from red to clear?

Any other advice? I really appreciated reading here and on FrankTalk to help me make this decision and will pay it back as I can!

HI All - Thanks so much for all the information you share here, it’s been very helpful.

My Dr is requiring a Cytoscopy on my pre-surgery list. It’s the last step of my approval for implant on the 13th (😬) The office said it’s up to me if I want Gas. I don’t normally have medical anxiety, but I am wondering if I should take the Gas or should I be able to tough it out?

If you‘ve had this procedure can you share your experience?

I know about Dr Blick, he’s several months out for even a consult but I have one scheduled.

There is a Doc at my Uro office who does implants but I haven’t been able to find many reviews.

Has anyone had an implant surgery done by Dr. Frank Simoncini? I have a consult scheduled with him next month.

Gen1 Metas, I have had them for about a year now. Since the update before the most recent one, my glasses have become basically useless 90% of the time.

They will not respond to music voice prompts, they take pictures or video intermittently via voice prompt, and occasionally they just won't do anything (even taking a video via long button press).

I meticulously maintain them and use them sparingly. I mostly use them to listen to music when I am trail riding my horses, and to take short videos when I am riding or driving my sportscar. They are used at most 2-3 times a week and usually a lot less than that. Stored in the case in a cabinet in my kitchen.

Anyone had this happen after the most recent updates or have any ideas on getting functionality back?
