Re: Post op... not working... stuck valve?

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?

Re: Post op... not working... stuck valve?

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

Re: (Waynetho) Dr Morey's verdict: Implant is fine - no issue he sees

Just thinking out loud so don't laugh, but could you conduct a sneeze test with the IPP in both inflated and deflated states? When inflated the tips should be pushed more securely into the crus and you might not experience the same pain when sneezing. Have all your other sneeze/pain experiences been...

Re: Cycling- When (esp. if you are working) and how long?

Did Dr. Eid give a reason why the cycling go early? I am wondering what the difference is between waiting a couple weeks, vs a couple days. There is this excerpt from Dr Eid's post-op protocol: During the first three months after the surgery the cylinders must be kept fully deflated in order to mai...

Re: Cardiac Clearance - One step closer

The only way to know Dr Eid's surgery schedule is to call his office and ask. The lead time depends on lots of factors like time of year, vacation schedules, etc. You don't need the cardiac clearance to schedule a surgery date, but it's not a confirmed date until the clearance is approved and all th...

Re: Deflate issues

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...

Re: Titan Flaccid vs Erect

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...
