Thank you Captboat. On August 7th I had the procedure done. Medicare covered my procedure. I am almost 2 months into recovery (or healing). So far, so good. I am experiencing slight discomfort still. I am also noticing a feeling of arouse ment. They say that when you have an implant your ability to have a natural erection is gone. Not so. I can deflate totally. But if I am stimulated my flaccid penis is no longer flaccid. Anyway, my doctor did a marvelous job. AMS 700. 24cm. Most of which is at the root. I wound up with 5+ inches which is more than sufficient. My girth is also quite sufficient. Rigidity is marvelous. Nothing limp about this penis.
