Hi I am Ian 68 years old and eight months since my robotic op. Well went to the clinic after waiting about five months, I say clinic it’s one male nurse one day a week for the whole county! Anyway the nurse suggested I speak to the medical rep to obtain a new vaccum pump and as luck would have it due to a cancellation I was seen at the hospital within the hour. Just as well as the rep told me later that he had a waiting list of forty men at one hospital alone. The rep showed me the Soma response II pump and asked if I wanted to try it out while watched that I was doing it correctly ,but as there were female nurses coming and going into the room and I found it all too embarrrassing I declined the offer. So he gave me a form to take to my GP which I did right away. Handed the form the docs receptionist who told me they never seen anything like this before but would speak to the doctor. Two days later I went back to collect my prescription only to be told it had been sent to my local pharmacy, so off I went to the pharmacy to be told The prescription had been sent back to the docs as they also had never seen a prescription like this and didn’t know what to do with it. Back to the docs pick up the prescription and return to the pharmacy with instructions on how to order it. Now all of this is embarrassing having to deal with all the young female staff at the docs and chemists who you imagine think you are a dirty old man. A few days later I collected the pump and have to say it’s great, With a little practice I now can get a larger and firmer erection than I had as a natural erection ,so you could say I’m a happy bunny . Now I know most men think having to use a pump is not a very manly thing to do and I am no different but at the end of the day the surgeon ripped out the erection mechanism and you have to get round that if you want your sex life again. Nothing makes you feel better than looking down at a good hard on . Give it a try you have nothing to lose it’s free on the NHS and perhaps lots to gain.
