About 10lbs of pressure between thumb and index finger is enough to pump, it shouldn't be that difficult.

Did you try the "Second Solution" on page 4 of the manual?

I've read online about "stuck valve" issues. Do you guys think that's what's going-on? Did you try any of the solutions for " Pump bulb is hard and cannot be activated by the patient (Titan Touch) :" in the Titan manual? https://www.franktalk.org/phpBB3/download/file.php?id=5938

I'm on the west coast, say I want to have Dr. Eid do my surgery. How many trips to NY would be required? Plan for one trip, 5-6 nights in total. I'm on the west coast too and my trip went like this: LAX=>EWR stay at Bentley Hotel by Eid's office. Tue: Arrival & check in Wed: Pre-Op Consult Thur...

The fluid retention issue is completely normal and is often assumed to be "auto-inflation" of the implant which it is not. It totally resolves over time, weeks not days. On the deflation issue, here's what I found. It was day 4 and I was 3000 miles from Dr Eid. I sat in a hot bath and felt...

Your post-op erect length should be very close to your pre-op injection measurement. That's one reason why Dr Eid does the pre-op stretch and injection measurements, so both doctor and patient can see the expected post-op length. It's too soon yet to be concerned about length, need time to recover f...
