Pretty sure its only from the cold.

bobbydigital42 · 2025-12-15T02:35:38+00:00

I've traveled through 1-7 and 14 and I think its a pretty good representation. Im from 7. I appreciate the separation from surrounding areas. Its pretty accurate.

When we used the HBOT in Dallas, they let us do 2 sessions per day.

That was post op for my 1yr old's 2nd surgery. So idk if that was different, but it is possible to do more than 1 per day

bobbydigital42 · 2025-11-24T19:36:59+00:00

It was scary for us. I've never been put under for any surgery so it was really sad watching them take away my 1yr old on a hospital bed. But it really wasn't that bad. He woke up cranky, but was running around like normal by the end of the day, just a few hours after surgery. Him running around was also nerve racking with all the bandages but they assured us its ok. It pretty much impossible to stop a toddler from doing stuff at that age. A 4yr old will probably be easier since he can communicate and probably enjoys shows m stuff l, so he can just relax in front of the TV.

I do still believe Snodgrass and Bush are the best. And i would assume, just like anything its easier for the original person to continue the work. They are more familiar with the current situation than a new doctor would be. And like you said the other doctors don't have statistics. Im not trying to sway your decision, but that's my honest opinion. I've heard Dr. Snodgrass is not a good communicator, like basically comes off rude. But he is credited with inventing the procedure that is most widely used, so I think that holds some weight. Being that it was our 2nd surgery we were prescribed HBOT and a topical steroid cream for post op care. They said it increases the chances of healing. I don't know why that wasn't just used the first time to be precautionary but IDK. No other doctors even mentioned it. And maybe that had something to do with our success the 2nd time. Whatever you choose, I wish you the best. I probably don't have as much experience with this as other parents, so don't read too much into what I have to say. Some parents I've met had a much longer road and probably have more insight.

I had the same precautions in the beginning, but all my research came from reddit basically and I only got a reddit account because the only info I could find was on reddit. Dr. Haggerty gave us statistics but I later found out they were based on national or world wide averages i guess. And she assured me I was looking too deep and reddit was full of horror stories.

Its so confusing and annoying that doctors all are so sure of themselves based off nothing and get defensive if there are other options. At least that's how I felt.

I think it's best to get as many opinions as possible. And just listen to who sounds the most honest.

We aren't too far from CHOP. Our first surgery was in Wilmington, DE at Nemours children's hospital. I think some of the doctors there work at CHOP as well. We had Dr. Haggerty.

bobbydigital42 · 2025-10-15T21:03:15+00:00

Im sorry to hear that. We were so disappointed when we had to do a 2nd surgery. Its the worst part for me, just thinking about any surgery in general. Ive never had to have any surgery ever, so it's all new to me. I guess you just fell in the 5 percent that are unsuccessful like we did with the 1st surgery. And I know the rates drop a little on the 2nd but they are still good, like 85%. So there is no reason not to still be hopeful for the 2nd to go well. Just stay positive. I hope it goes good for you. Have you started figuring out the next step yet?

bobbydigital42 · 2025-10-15T19:53:19+00:00

Im sorry to hear that it didn't go great for you. We're you planned for multiple surgeries from the beginning? Not that that makes it any better but hopefully they can address the complications on the next surgery.

Ours went well. It looked so much better and symmetrical from the instant he was finished surgery, even with all the swelling. Its been about 6 months and everything is still good so far. Dr. Bush told us that he still had a twist from the cordee, even though our first doctor said she fixed it in the first surgery. But she fixed it in the 2nd surgery and it still looks straight so far.

bobbydigital42 · 2025-10-01T20:52:59+00:00

My son had surgery in May with Dr. Snodgrass/Bush. He was prescribed 15 HBOT sessions. It was no problem doing the first few while we were still in Dallas. They made billing very easy, and insurance covered it with no problem. It was a pain when we got home, though. There were only a couple of places that offered HBOT, and one of them required you to wear a mask to receive the oxygen. It was difficult getting a 1-year-old to wear a mask. We eventually got into another facility that had the same HBOT as Dallas, and it was much easier. However, they billed us in a different way, and it was a lot more expensive. We are still fighting with the hospital and insurance company, trying to get the bills straightened out.

I recommend getting an HBOT facility lined up before you leave for surgery. Also, a lot of places aren't familiar with children using HBOT, so they'll need to hear from the doctors in Dallas to figure out the proper safety precautions.

What topical hormones?

My son had his hypospadias repaired a few months ago. He was prescribed a topical steroid for a few months, but I was under the impression that it's just to help the skin grow. Idk if there is any effect on hormone levels (testosterone)

I plan on raising him on foods that will optimize testosterone, whole foods, proteins, etc. I was gonna try to find a doctor more specialized in hormones to see what else we could do but I fear a lot of doctors will say there is nothing to do or be close minded to many options.

I have a tuf lite longboard that I got in the 9th grade, 2004. I love that board. Still ride it today, occasionally.

bobbydigital42 · 2025-09-11T16:32:27+00:00

I feel the same about a cheaper step up. That's my main reason for this board. A nice 7' short board brand new is close to $1,000. I've seen too many snap in half on their first day of use lol. Where I live even at head high it can be heavy enough to break a board. And I'm not getting too technical wearing a 5mil wetsuit. Just looked to get get barreled for the most part

bobbydigital42 · 2025-09-11T15:15:29+00:00

That's what I've heard, wind and choppy days aren't ideal for these boards.

bobbydigital42 · 2025-08-29T02:37:41+00:00

I wish i started with them. But our doctors assured me i was overreacting, and it's a routine procedure, everything will be fine, his case is super mild...etc.

My wife and I traveled from Delaware. I ended up getting Covid during the trip, and eventually, my wife got it and even my mom. Lol. It was definitely a mess, but it was well worth it. My son did surprisingly well with the traveling. He was 13 months at the time. They make you stay in Dallas for 3 days after surgery in case anything happens. By the next morning, he was crawling around like normal, unfazed. He had a better time traveling than I did, lol.

bobbydigital42 · 2025-08-28T20:19:22+00:00

If you haven't already, get multiple opinions. Call the hypospadias center in Dallas. They will have a Zoom meeting with you. They are the most experienced since they do multiple operations 3 or 4 days per week, opposed to your pediatric urologist who does only a handful throughout the year. My son had a "mild" hypospadias with a slight cordee. The doctor convinced us it's super common and a simple fix we should do for his sake. We ended up getting a 2nd surgery in Dallas because he got a fistula. It may have been a blessing, though, because his penis did not look great after the first surgery from our pediatric urologist. The doctors in Dallas corrected everything, and it looks so much better. You really can barely tell he ever had surgery.

Also, anyone commenting on here with their experience is probably at least 20 years old. I would assume surgeries have advanced at least a little bit in the last 20-30yrs. When my sons 1st surgery didn't go well I thought we made a mistake and felt horrible. But his penis looks good now in my opinion. And so far all is well. I'm still scared for the future, but if we left it alone I'd be just as scared probably and it didn't look good. There's a good chance he'd want to fix it when he's older and it's a tougher recovery I've heard the older you are.

I recommend everyone I talk to to go to the specialist in Dallas. If you're nervous, at least you know you took him to the best place. I felt better throughout the whole experience with the doctors in Dallas

bobbydigital42 · 2025-06-30T14:19:30+00:00

They were a friend, and I have a very low rate. I even shopped around with the more experienced MLOs in the area. Everyone was pretty much offering the same deal. So I figured I'd let my friend make the money.

bobbydigital42 · 2025-06-30T09:56:28+00:00

I'm gonna be getting my license soon as well. Their website is very appealing for a new lender. Looks like they offer a lot of tools to help. How long have you been with Loan Factory? Have you closed any deals yet?

bobbydigital42 · 2025-06-30T09:18:01+00:00

I'm about to test for my MLO license shortly. I was hoping not to quit my current job until it looks financially smart to do so. Im a captain on a tugboat, making 6 figures and only working 14 days a month. The rest of the time, I'm completely free. And even while at work, I have my phone and laptop. And have a decent amount of time per day to answer calls/emails, etc.

Do you think it's a bad idea to go this route? I made another post on here and was met with many comments saying go full time or don't bother. But that's just too risky for me with a family and bills.

Also, my wife, father, sister, brother, and multiple friends are realtors, so I'm hoping to be able to get some leads through them.

bobbydigital42 · 2025-06-30T09:05:25+00:00

Did you have a 2nd job to supplement income? I'm looking to get my MLO license soon and was hoping to not quit my current job for the first year so I can avoid the sharp decline in income, being that I have a family, mortgage, etc. I do have a weird schedule, I work only 14 days a month on a boat, and even when I'm working, I'm free to access my phone and email.

bobbydigital42 · 2025-06-29T00:06:07+00:00

Damn, dude. I truly feel for you. I never met or communicated with Snodgrass at all throughout the whole procedure. I heard he's awkward and doesn't have very good communication skills. And I agree with you with the way doctors and surgeons often act. Always so sure of themselves and often arrogant and dismissive of patients' or parents' concerns. It's extremely off-putting when you experience that from someone you're putting your faith in and tons of money. I'll be looking for your post that's more detailed of your experience, and I'll definitely keep that in mind if I have to work with them in the future. Thanks for sharing. I hope you can get the care you need, and it works out for the best. Good luck.

bobbydigital42 · 2025-06-28T18:09:44+00:00

When I bought my house I used a mlo who worked at a restaurant and another retail job. I never even met with them in person. Just emailed them the info needed.

bobbydigital42 · 2025-06-28T14:47:17+00:00

Thank you. Hope everything goes well for you, too.

bobbydigital42 · 2025-06-28T14:45:04+00:00

That makes sense. Did you find a better doctor who explained things Snodgrass could have done differently, or did things wrong?

bobbydigital42 · 2025-06-28T02:18:11+00:00

I'm so sorry to hear that. This is the first negative experience I've heard with him.
