Hi folks, please allow me to introduce myself. My name is Patrick, I am from Ireland, and I had surgery with Dr. Elist in January of 2010 (penile implant). I have taken out a huge loan to travel to the US, stay at a hotel, and have the surgery done. It will be onother 3 years before my loan is paid off! Initially, I was very happy with Dr. Elist's implant. I did have some serious initial pain, which far exceeded the "moderate" pain described on his web site. However, after about 2 weeks I was almost pain free and the healing went well. After about 10 weeks, I was able to have "light" sex with my wife. The implant was very noticeable to the touch, but it did look really well. And I finally felt comfortable using public urinals, etc. I really loved my new penis. And then, about 3 months ago, having had normal sex with my wife (as usual), my penis was sore all night and the next day. I started to feel sick and, in during the following night, I had a temparature of 104 degrees. My penis, scrotum, and pubic mound hurt like hell and everything swell. I wrote to Dr. Elist, who told me to go to my GP and have him prescribe very strong antibiotics. Of course, he examened me thoroughly and, not knowing what that was in my penis, questioned whether this was a good thing to have. It took 3 full weeks for the swelling to go down. During this time, and afterwards, my local GP examined me and he explained that the material in my penis had become loose an caused microscopically small injuries, which, in turn, caused the infection. I have contacted Dr. Elist several times after this, but he only asked for pictures and once I had sent them, he would not write back to me. Can any of you give me any advise? My penis is currently causing tolerable pain, but it is certainly deformed, becuase the implant seems to have dislocated and my penis appearm much wider now (not nice!). I might be able to lend some money for another flight to LA, but I certainly cannot pay for another surgery to have the implant removed by Dr. Elist. I am still paying for the first surgery. Is he ethically or legally required to remove it free of charge? What will happen to my penis? Will it be all messed up? I am really frightened. Also, I have not had sex with my wife since (because I can't) and this can't be going on forever. There seems to be no healing on its own. I would appreciate any advise any you lads could give me. Thanks! Truly sorry to hear about your situation but there is some hope. Have you finished your course of antibiotics? There is a chance you can mitigate any immediate effects from an infection. I would recommend its removal since, if it is indeed causing problems, it is probable that it will continue to create problems. In my opinion, he should absolutely remove it for free, especially if the implant has dislocated from its intended position. I'm quite surprised he has not written back to you, you may want to consider calling him and having him advise you over the phone. I also advise that you post your story/info over at the new forum found at www.phalloboards.org - This forum has migrated over to the new site, so you may not get a lot of feedback here (since it is quiet around here). This forum will remain open so people can review all the available info, but it is recommended to resume the dialog at the new forum. Hope to see you there, and hope everything works out! -S.O.

@hc
Yes & no.
Posts counts ARE reset. However, you only require the balance of the required posts to achieve "PhalloBoards Legend" (500 posts) at the new forum.
Example: A member has posted 103 times on this forum. The member has posted 397 posts on the new forum, not 500, but will still earn the "PhalloBoards Legend," title. This is NOT true for all lesser titles on the new forum (i.e. Contributing Member, Centurion, etc.).
Hope this helps. See you all there!

it's a bit of a ghost town, and while there are some photos uploaded, expect the bulk of the photos to come in a matter of days/weeks (depends on when the uploaders choose to upload).

This site will remain active. It isn't being shut down or deleted. The new site essentially enables members to post photos unlike this site.
This site will likely remain active for a few weeks/months until the migration to the new forum is nearly 100%. This site will remain available on PROBOARDS servers indefinitely to serve as a Resource & Archive for those who continue to research the subject matter.
I have locked the big PMMA thread as an attempt to stimulate some migration to the new forum, but I wont force it too much. The new forum is a bit of a ghost town, but that is also because it is new. In the coming days/weeks/months, it should (theoretically) be as active as this site is, if not more.

You CANNOT view photos that have been uploaded to the forum without a MEMBER account. So registration is a must (and free) if you wish to view them.

Be sure to check your email to complete registration folks!
And check out E.P.'s Progress Report... it isn't finished yet but near complete...a very entertaining read.
Those who already have progress reports here, feel free to continue posting them here or you can migrate over and start a [PART 2] if you wish, even if it is solely for photos.

I think we're rushing into a presumption that Artefill is the best option out there. I'd ask Wade/Dr. C to explain why they prefer the use of New Plastic over other options (i.e. Metracill). I don't believe any study has been able to say definitively that one brand is superior to another, at least not that I've seen/read.

THE NEW SITE IS NOW AT PHALLOBOARDS.COMThanks for everyone's patience! As you all (may) know, the website is not 100% complete, but is at a point that should be functional for basic use. I would have waited till the site was a bit more refined but we've had one too many postponements. The URL is: phalloboards.websitetoolbox.com The above link is the new forum, all new and current members need to relocate to this site to continue the dialogThis URL first goes to our front page which acts as a sort of disclaimer site. It is temporary until we get a much more improved design to replace it. At the bottom there is a link to enter the forum. When registering for a username, PLEASE follow these instructions: - If you already have a username here, please register at the new site with the same exact username, especially if you have 10 or more posts on this forum.
- I'm having issues with the site prompting you to complete registration by checking your email, so I'm telling you here that you must do this. You must check your email after registration and click the link which will complete the registration process.
- The forum rules are almost identical to the ones found here, so even though you can post pictures again, keep in mind we are not to be posting anything crude, lewd, or distasteful.
- Though not required, but recommended: If you already have a progress report on this site, feel free to use the same name of your thread but add a following: [PART 2] next to it. Then open your first post with a link back to your original thread found here.
- The new forum is utilizing software and it is not free. With that being said, if there are any issues (slowness, errors, etc), please report them all to the Feedback Forum on the new site so that I can address them accordingly.
Thanks again for your patience! -S.O.

eqstudentthanks for clarifying that, I'll be reviewing the entire journal article tonight. It is also good to note that this article was in 2010, making it very recent and even more relevant.
