Hi Rondo
Firstly, the reason I requested pictures from \"Megadong\" is because in his second post (dated) Oct. 19th), he offered to show pictures...He also said that he was going to tell his \"story\". I was hoping for a more thorough account, but then again, I realize we can all get busy (myself included). This is neither here not there though because I think there is the possibility that Megadong's claim of a successful implant may (in fact) be true. Even a broken clock is right twice a day, and I\'m sure Dr. Elist does have his successes. I did take issue with his claim that the Elist success stories far outweigh the failures. Any member who was on the old MNS board and old
PhalloBoards, and is now on the current
PhalloBoards, is aware of the criminally poor track record (or at least particular \'horrific\' cases) of this implant. And you are indeed correct; I\'ve yet to post a picture of my penis on this website. But I\'m really not sure how posting a picture of my penis would strengthen (or weaken) my position as far as this particular thread goes. True, I am an advocate of
PMMA, but a rather low key one. I had the procedure done in early august and actually waited two months before I even told the board. I got a relatively modest (compared to some other members) gain of half an
Inch. The reason I have chosen not to wave the flag of
PMMA too enthusiastically is because, although, I truly believe that
PMMA may very well be the `magic bullet` we have been waiting for, I am aware of the fact that there may be some hidden dangers with
PMMA that may come to light down the road. It will take years before we can be at all certain. Perhaps my position on this thread could be best characterized as `anti-implant`. I will absolutely admit that one of my agendas on
PhalloBoards is to spread the truth about the dangers of the implant. This is not out of 'spite' for Doctor Elist, but rather to prevent others from suffering from the same fate as myself and others (many of them members on this site). I have also been very honest with the fact that I actually was able to regain my lost length (one of the only patients I know of) and retained about a '
Inch gain from the remaining capsule of the implant.?This relatively happy ending of mine, I believe, should in no way minimize the horrific (apparently permanent) outcomes of many other Elist patients. I have been very forthcoming with my story and that of the other Elist patients I have had contact with. I have to say that I am baffled by any guy considering the implant (over
PMMA) after they've had access to any of the negative implant stories floating around the Internet. Admittedly,
PMMA still has unknowns attached to it, but its track record has been exceptional thus far, and any complications are very manageable. On the other hand, the implant's complication rate is shockingly high'Yes, I realize this rate is based on anecdotal evidence, but that's because the only person with the actual stats (if he keeps them at all) is DR. Elist. And just as recently as last year (last time I checked) he was touting a laughable less than 1% complication rate. If I had the info about the possible complications of the implant that I do now, I would never have even considered it for a second. Lord only knows how many men have been permanently damaged from this procedure... Sorry to have digressed... Again, I'm not sure how showing a picture of my penis would give my argument anymore credibility. Are you skeptical of my claim that I had the implant, and then had it removed due to infection? Do you wish to see a picture of my penis damaged by the implant?. Or are you skeptical of my claims of penile enlargement over the years? If this is the case, then I don\'t see how it has any connection to my credibility in this thread. Do you wish me to prove that I have indeed undergone years of PE and show you a picture of my enlarged penis?That (all) being said, I did say in my 'Messageman Got
PMMA' thread that I would post pictures. I've been intending too but just haven't gotten around to it'So I promise to do so by the weekend. And Rondo, I realize that your request for pictures comes from a good place and is based on your desire to educate not only yourself, but also others on this site'You are an asset to this site and I enjoy reading your posts'.
