TOPIC: Penile Foreign Body Granuloma Removal from PMMA (With Operative Photo)

If you find this level of openness uncomfortable or confusing I would suggest simply not reading my posts as it is not my intention to have an adversarial relationship.

If others find my posts offensive I will stop commenting because as you alluded to, I have nothing to gain here.

If I didn\'t want you posting, I would have simply banned you. You haven\'t really broken any forum rules, although occasionally some of your comments do more to induce anxiety than they do to enlighten or educate. I\'m not looking for an adversarial relationship either, but I\'m very curious as to what your intents & goals are with this forum if it isn\'t Phalloplasty you seek. I don\'t understand why someone would frequent a forum if they don\'t intend on getting anything out of it. Maybe I\'m missing something?

You know what, it doesn\'t matter. I just found your membership & posting confusing, that\'s all. You admitted you have nothing to gain here, so I guess that\'s that. This exchange will only derail the topic so I ask everyone to resume the original convo. If you wish to continue chatting, you\'re more than welcome to send a PM. Otherwise, let\'s move on.

But you aren\'t open! I challenged you to be so a couple of years ago, but you\'ve never really explained your agenda and you do seem to have one.

A couple of times I\'ve been told about PM\'s or IM\'s you\'ve sent to people and it does sound like you have a problem with the forum. Obviously it\'s just hear say, but I don\'t see why people would make up what they\'d heard.

For example, was it you that told DCpimpin that one of the Mods quit the forum after revelations concerning Dr C\'s practice? Because as soon as he said that had happened, 2 separate members told me they thought it was you saying it.

They took the stitches out last week and covered it with steri strips. Those fell off by now. The other scar has scab, but this one is sort of open...not bleeding - just open. It\'s where my deglove scar was, so I hope it heals ok... any thoughts? I put new steri strips back on...hopefully it\'ll come together.

Hello Hoddle, I mentioned this several years ago but to reiterate my surgery was way back in 1995. My doctor Mel Rosenstein \"the butcher of culver city\" was forced out of practice in 1996 due to litigation. He certainly lived up to his name. He was much like Dr Elist but had up to 50 patients per day. It was a total assembly line. I suffered permanent loss from my procedure and I estimate there are 1000\'s of guys who suffered the same fate as me under his hands. Since there was no internet to speak of news traveled much more slowly back then and it took longer for guys to get the real story. I actually discovered his practice from an ad in the back of an adult magazine, Penthouse if I remember correctly !

No I have pm\'d very few times over the yrs as I am very up front in my posts (maybe too much so..) and see no correspondence with DCpimpin. As long as the forum does not censor I think it is a great resource and should be recognized as a such. And I don\'t see this as an issue given all the complications reported recently so no worries.

I dont want to hijack this valuable thread so feel free to message me or continue in a new thread if needed.

Restoration you have improved quite a bit ! I would keep the area dry and it would be a good idea to massage lightly to prevent an adhesion from the skin to implant while it is healing. I think in a few months it will fully loosen up and look completely fine, so don\'t stress out.

Yeah, pumping and also taking certain supplements (arginine, citruline) will give the penis more \"fluid\" so the nodules are less pronounced.

It\'s very hard for me to pump because of the skin Removal. My penis will sort of twist inside the cylinder, and the 2 scars where the removals are will hurt a lot with the negative pressure. I can\'t get it to fully extend anymore since one side has less skin than the other.

Thanks Smokdu - I don\'t know...I was thinking maybe silikon 1000 in the dented areas might help, but I don\'t know who does that in the usa.

I could get it removed through a deglove incision, but I\'d lose all of the Girth I have, and there\'s still the abnormality from the scars on the right (where the PMMA was taken out). I am not sure I can afford the surgery if it is not covered by insurance, which isn\'t known. There are also some other small scars on the side from minor Nodule removals that look ugly too, and I have a lot of color irregularities...not sure why. The underside is like 5 different colors. It\'s pretty weird. Needless to say, I haven\'t been in the mood to have sex with anyone in a long time.
