Hey Donnie,
I apologize. I was not trying to say that you can't have a large penis with AMS. I should have been more clear. I was only stating Dr Eid and Dr Kramer's preferences. Obviously there are lots of people (like you) that are above average and very happy using AMS.

Re: AMS vs. Titan
Coloplast cylinders are larger in diameter than AMS, and they get even wider in the XL sizes (24cm, 26cm, 28cm). All things being equal, being implanted with a standard Coloplast or XL Coloplast should give the patient slightly more girth. I confirmed this with Dr Eid and Dr Kramer. However maybe Do...

Re: First activation
I was told to attempt activation 3 days after surgery. This was told me by Dr Eid the day before the surgery. He told me again the day of the surgery. His office staff called me 3 days after surgery to remind me to attempt activation. It was even brought up today in his office. It was also in the po...

Re: First activation
Yes, Dr Eid suggests some of his patients to activate as early as 3 days. I still have the stitches. He says this is very important to allow the penis to fully deflate, so that scar tissue will form around a filled reservoir. This helps prevent auto inflation of the device later on. Apparently this ...

Re: AMS vs. Titan
Dr Eid said he typically prefers the Coloplast for several reasons (firmer erection, larger girth, etc). He said he typically only uses the AMS if the patient has a smaller penis or less dexterity in their hands (usually older). The AMS is apparently easier to inflate/deflate. When I spoke to Dr Kra...

Re: Implant sizing and extra skin?
I am only slightly larger than you pre-op 6.75". However I was implanted with 2" more than you. Admittedly implant lengths do not always equate to the same erection length in different bodies. However we should be in the same ball park. I think if you did a few searches on this forum, you ...

Re: Implant sizing and extra skin?
What size were you when hard prior to surgery? (Measured from top with pubic bone pressed by ruler)
At first glance it appears you were undersized.

Re: What is the probability of using implants for about 13~15 years?
There are some other factors that are not being considered: 1) if your implant has been working for 10 years, chances are you're not going to be hanging out on an implant forum. Whereas if your implant fails, you will likely come here. 2) The implants that are failing today after X number of years a...

Re: 2 years past implant surgery. Would like feedback
I have suffered from severe ED for the last 10 plus years. I have come to accept that I may have to find meaning in life from something other than sex (charity, family, work, etc). I have also accepted that I may have to find a woman that has similar issues with sex. If you do some google searches y...

First activation
How long before your first activation? I am 9 days out, and I cannot feel the deflate valve. Dr Eid wanted me to activate as early as 3 days after surgery.
The reason why I ask is that I am supposed to go back to work on the 25th, and I can't imagine going to work with a partial erection.
