Re: thinking about the implant again but worried about the bulb.

dennov, I have the AMS700LGX. Every time I feel my scrotum and the bulb pump, I rejoice. It is this pump and the cylinders and the reservoir that have restored sex life with my wife. Yes, I feel the pump, but seldom does it interfere with my working in the yard, riding in my car, or sitting. Occason...

Re: Urinating post op

Matthew, my surgeon kept me overnight in the hospital until I urinated the required volume to be released. The catheter, of course, was removed before leaving the hospital. Followup with the MD was one week, I believe, and regularly thereafter. Now one year between MD exams. My surgery went so well,...

Re: Implant Surgery Sept 4 2012

Courage. Concentrate on the changes that this implant will have on your life. Perhaps my experience is the exception, but I went to the surgery in good spirits. I had some pain following the surgery, (AMS700LGX) but it was handled well by the nurses. Only one shot of morphine. My hospital stay was o...

Re: Pumping Up

Killdee, I have the same implant. Yes, the bulb works differently at times: two good pumps and inflation is well on its way. Other times, yes, the bulb seems not to respond as before. Sometimes, its takes only two or three pumps for full inflation. Other times more pumps are required. I don't think ...

Re: How does it feel first time you get pumped up

I, too, have the AMS700LGX. Look forward to your first full pump. Whether pumped by you or your uro, the pumping of the bulb will be slow, methodical, and your penis will gradually become fuller and extended. Brace your right thumb on the bulb with your left thumb to avoid slipping off the bulb. The...

Re: Taping down penis

Because my incision was in the upper scrotum I thought that air and light would aid healing of the incision. I made a band of gause aournd my penis just below the head, taped the gause to itself (not to the penis!) and taped the gause band to my belly to hold the penis upright. Slip your penis out o...

Protect your investment

I enjoy playing with my beautiful grandchildren. But their sharp elbows and knees are a hazard when they climb into my lap. I bought an athletic cup which I wear when I play with the children. Problem solved.

Re: Post-Op Scrotal Bulging with AMS 700 LGX

Your description of your AMS 700LGX is very near the description of mine. Now 18 months after implant, I can say that with the third occupant of my scrotum very visible and the tubing pushing the upper scotum skin outwards forming a visible conture I now find that that these aspects of my implant ha...

Re: List of questions to ask IPP implant surgeon (?)

asmith, I don't mind a public reply to your question about my MD. I appreciate your reserve, but sometimes public questions and answers are helpful to other men as well. Please go to page 3 of the implant posts, "name of doctors" by mik65 and scroll down to reply by "ariadne" for...

Re: List of questions to ask IPP implant surgeon (?)

You are wise to prepare questions in advance. As I have written, you won't remember any questions with your pants down. Among the questions, certainly, are: 1. What kind of implant (I have the AMS700LXG and am very happy with the results) 2. Discuss post op penis length and eventual girth and length...
