If you have at any point had a magnet implanted, whether it has rejected or not, please post below or fill out the spreadsheet above. If you had previously posted about your procedure, feel free to post a link to that instead or in addition. I'm looking to aggregate and centralize some meaningful data on any people that have at any point had a magnet implanted. Please copy-paste and fill out the fields below (or comment on the spreadsheet above). If you have had multiple magnet implants please fill out one of these for each magnet separately.

Magnet Type: 
Implant Date: 
Outcome, duration:
Implanter: 
Implant method: 
Would closure method: 
Additional notes: 

If enough data is aggregated we can begin to get a quantitative picture of overall success rates, potential causes for failure, and general trends.

    Working at the moment so don't have much time to chat.

    Link is back when I spent a month documenting my implant and progress:

    http://forum.biohack.me/discussion/838/the-cronical-of-the-proxys-implants#Item_48

    Magnet Type: 2, both m31
    Implant Date: In link
    Outcome, duration: Success, check link for duration
    Implanter: Cassox
    Implant method: Scalpel
    Would closure method: Stitch
    Additional notes: also in link for details however I got ring finger's previous magnet removed then immediately placed a m31 into the opening and had it stitched up. Scar tissue from previous is thicker than scar tissue from the new implant on middle finger.

    Magnet type: n52 quad-coated (nickle,copper,nickle,gold) 1/4th in x 1/16th in (about 6mm x 1.5mm) Implant date: October 28th Outcome: perfect so far Duration: 12 hours Implanter: Me Implant method: Box Opener Wound closure: super glue Notes: this magnet was more than twice as big as the m31 which was a slight problem, I dont have anesthetics unfortunately so the pain was a bit hard to swallow. I did record the whole procedure (in 4k) and I will upload it sometime next week. I'll keep you guys updated
