  1. After my first 50 lbs I could see my junk without having to use a mirror. That was amazing. It seems longer just because it hangs now, but I don't think it's any bigger. We can all wish, but I don't think it's going to change me into a Chippendales Dancer or porn model lol
  2. Okay, lots of good thoughts here but not any that really hit on target. Yes, there is a degree of prostate involvement in ejaculate production but it basically controls when it comes out. My first guess would be that your testosterone is possibly low. Having a good doctor that not only checks your total testosterone, but your albumin, sex hormone binding globulin, and calculates your free testosterone is the key. Ejaculate is sperm and seminal fluids. Decreased volume can be a decrease in either of these contents. The average male ejaculates 1.5 to 5 milliliters (a teaspoon full) during the typical event. The bigger question is the cause for your concern. If you and your partner are having great sex and there's just less stuff coming out and no one cares, then enjoy it and go on. Typically there is not really a big deal. The frequency of ejaculation can lead to a decrease in volume for each time, but more typically is related to a lower sperm count in each episode.
  3. Dr McGill was my surgeon. He was GREAT. I've been an ICU nurse for 30 years and had plenty of questions. he never got frustrated with me, and always answered my questions and made sure I was comfortable. Karen the dietician was great, she has some great tips for making eating easier after surgery. The staff at Piedmont hospital were AMAZING. Felt like I was the only patient on the unit. I think they camped out at my door and waited for me to need something. Dr McGill even dealt with my crazy mother and family while I was in recovery, and he did it with a smile and never took it personally. He reminds me of an overgrown Opie Taylor from Andy Griffith show. AMAZING doctor. Recently I had a stomach virus and had some vomiting. I had to call the answering service at 7:30 in the morning. Dr McGill called me back within 5 minutes and when I apologized for bothering him; he stopped me mid sentence and told me that was his job, I was not bothering him. Got me feeling better very quickly.
  4. Try calling the state insurance commissioner and file a formal written complaint. Also, be sure to go to Healthgrades and write up a review.
  5. hey Erin, I used Dr Kevin McGill, he's with Buckhead Bartiatrics also. AMAZING surgeon. the office staff is great. The dietitician with the office is Karen, she's great also. Had my surgery at Piedmont hospital. GREAT staff. that should say a lot coming from a veteran ICU nurse.
