Trans Men on Their Gender Confirmation Surgery Q&A Phalloplasty

[@TheHeroicHunter]

I’m curious, as some who is also on the path to phalloplasty at GRS Montreal, what are your thoughts on the pump implant vs the rod implant?

Hello Hunter I wish that I had getting to know you when I was there and we had our surgeries together you're such a cool person I watch your videos all the time stay encouraged and keep positive. The answer to your question is my thoughts on pump Vs rod, I'm going with the rod because I find it easier less work and less complication, These implants or foreign objects to the body and takes a while to adjust sometime they don't! Having the rod you would always be semi hard and your body will continue doing the rest, With the pump you will have to Inflated and deflated every time you're intimate which makes me feel a little less independent, my opinion on my research and everything as I prepare for stage two which will be that stage of implants. Grs Montreal do Amazing surgeries you can also access surgeon which is best recommended for you. For me I'm a person that has many complications when it comes to these surgeries and my surgeon goes with what's best for last complications and a great outcome.

@@journeytowardstrey2883 thank you so much brother, means a lot! I also watch your videos a lot! I’m glad you’ve put your journey out into the world because it’s so difficult to find people that have gone through phallo in Montreal! I get though where you’re coming from with the implants though, I’m personally more leaning towards the rod implant as well when I get to that point as there seems to be less complications and fewer times it’ll have to be replaced compared to the pump. Who knows, maybe we’ll end up in Montreal at the same time at some point!

@@TheHeroicHunter not a problem brother thank you so much I really appreciate all the love and support that you have shown and given. Montreal will make you the happiest man you can ever imagine of coming. I'm so excited for you and I can't wait to see the day you upload your video of you getting your surgery. Navigate discourage no matter of how many negative comments might come your way or negative thoughts stay focused remember you're doing this for you. That will be amazing make sure if you run into me say Hello 'cause If I see you I will do the same LOL. I am most definitely leaning towards the rod but if my Dr. decides to change his thoughts and go with the pump I'm willing to go with that as well anything to complete me successfully. Most definitely the rod is less complications than the pump I've dealt with too much complications with my catheter I take less let's go round.
