Greetings
Hello All,
Intuitively it seems that a cylinder would be less fragile than a disk when subjected to mechanical stresses.
Going forward in the future I may consider getting another magnet whether it be same or different style, but that stands to be determined.
Just wanted to introduce my self. I very briefly heard about implanted magnets from the movie Modify aprox. 7 years ago and have ever since wanted an implanted magnet. I could never find someone reasonably close that could/would do it, and I wasn't about to jump in to doing self surgery. Finally last week through a facebook post I found out a friend of a friend of mine has a magnetic implant (we'll call him Q), not only that but the guy that installed his is just a few hours drive away from where I live. So in the next month or two I plan on getting him to install me a magnet (once I can make all the arrangements for the trip)
I spoke with Q extensively about his magnets. He has two Parylene coated cylinders 1/4" x .133", one in his left thumb and I'm not sure where the second one is. Q indicated he's very happy with that implant size and style and regularly goes rock climbing and works on cars without it being a problem. So I intend to go with that magnet, though unlike Q I plan to get mine in my left ring finger - seems safer and less in the way.

I don't have much in the way of specific questions but just wanted to introduce my self and put out there what I plan on doing to get feed back if anyone has any.
TL;DR - Just an introduction. Plan on getting a Parylene coated cylinder 1/4" x .133" in my left ring finger professionally installed. Feedback welcome.
Thank you All :)

How effective do you find it for EMF sensing at that location?
I've come to realize I hit the "e" key with my ring finger, and that's the most common letter in English, so I'll have to makes sure it''s at least far enough back to not interfere with key strokes. hehe
Air will be gone by day 2 if any gets in at all. I was 95% within a week. I cannot stress enough that this procedure is minor. it is seriously on par (pain wise) with getting nipples or septum pierced.
Word of warning you can occasionally grab something, such a heavy box, and it will catch it just right that it is awkward, not painful, but awkward. Totally worth it, especially if you start building bottlenose units.
Little known fact that having magnets teaches you? Hard drive magnets are full of scary magic, stay away from them ;)
