Re: leak after revision
Yea good point , I was just thinking it is probably on the low pressure side between the reservoir which like you said already has a splice. If it were on the high pressure side of the pump it would have ran out of fluid way before the two months. Also once I pumped it up it wouldn’t loose pressure ...

Re: leak after revision
I had a follow up appointment with my dr and it was confirmed with a ct scan that the reservoir was empty and there was fluid outside indicating a leak . Unfortunately due to life and work schedule I won’t be able to get in for him to fix it until the 23rd of April. Hopefully it is something simple ...

Re: leak after revision
It’s more like a tummy tuck with the lip added . I had a 22cm by 10cm section of the fat pad cut out and removed.

Re: leak after revision
I totally agree I wish he replaced the whole thing but I think he was worried about getting another serious infection like I had a couple years ago . He told me that that is the biggest infection risk is in the scrotum. When I went in for the revision I was under the impression he was installing the...

Re: leak after revision
I hope so too as I like the way that the cylinders are positioned. I am hoping it is a connector or something they can get too easy and just recrimp and refill.

Re: leak after revision
A couple weeks after the revision it would pump up to max hardness and then be flat , I was thinking that there just was no more fluid . I was alright at that point because it would get to max hardness. Over the last month I have slowly gotten less hard when the pump starts too go flat. I am probabl...

Re: leak after revision
Hrc714 Did they replace the whole thing or just the failed component ? I had similar issues. I noticed that the number of pumps till flat was getting less and less. Eventually I could only get to 80% hard. When Dr confirmed leak and scheduled surgery for 4 months out, I just left myself at the 80% h...

leak after revision
I had a revision back in January were they changed the cx implant with a lgx and also removed the fat pad above my penis infrapubicly. They left the pump in place because of my previous infection because he thought it was working at the time. I noticed a couple weeks after the procedure when I pumpe...
