>I was under the impression the frenulum could be removed. I have seen other circumcised guys that don't have any banjo string and it smooth just under the base of their glans. I am right aren't I?

The frenulum can be removed and is sometimes removed during circumcision. It is also sometimes removed later in life if it is a problem (like what you are having).

>Anybody else had a similar situation? I am going to another urologist next week. Any ideas if he says there is nothing he can do?

If he says there is nothing he can do, then he shouldn't be doing his job! Seriously though, the problem is extremely easy to resolve if you go the surgiclal route. I had a tight frenulum which I had removed just over a year ago. The whole thing took 10 minutes from beginning to end and I am very happy with the result. I created a Circumcision Faq about the surgery that you might find helpful if you any questions about it.

If you have any questions that aren't covered there, just ask.

All the best.
