Re: Getting Nervous
As long as you have a good doctor everything should go fine. I guess I am a bit weird. I always worry more about infections and the recovery than I do the actual surgery itself. My recovery was a bit rougher than what a of people have (a lot of bruising and swelling). However, it has been worth it. ...

Re: Increased length or girth?
One thing I forgot to mention in my previous post. It was my surgeon that told me I should be pumping to the point of discomfort for at least a year.

Re: Increased length or girth?
It sounds to me like you have not been pumping enough to get the full benefit of the 18% expansion capability of the AMS LGX700. Added to the current 22CM that would give you a fully inflated length of 26CM (25.96). If you do have at least 1CM RTEs on each side that would give you the total expanded...

Re: What has happened to FT Implants?
I do not noticed one way or the other if the discussion group has been morphing into a place where people spend most of their time squabbling. Anytime I notice this sort of discussion starting I just skip it and move on to the next one. What I am saying is I do not provide an audience. That type of ...

Re: 100% Happy with their implant?
100% satisfied and would do it again. The only reservation I would ever have about doing it again is checking out the doctor ahead of time.

Re: Going for an implant? follow this protocol for size regain
PFracture Anybody who thinks they are going to achieve with an IPP what they were able get in the vacuum tube, will be sadly disappointed. This has not been my experience. When the glans are engorged (which does happen) my implant length is identical to the maximum length I was able to get with the...

Re: Going for an implant? follow this protocol for size regain
Maybe my experience will throw a bit of light on the subject. I developed 100% ED in 2010 after a Da Vinci prostatectomy. My insurance would NOT pay for an implant. In 2014 my insurance changed and I got an implant about 4-1/2 years after the prostatectomy. During the intervening 4-1/2 years I did e...

Re: Coloplast vs AMS
The surgeon I went to does both AMS and Coloplast. He left the choice to me, but he recommended the Coloplast Titan because of size and the a slight amount of peyronies. The one thing I would not compromise on is the surgeon. The surgeon that did mine told me that 10% of the Urologists do 90% of the...

Re: Titan DONE
I wouldn't touch it. My understanding is that it is left partially inflated so scar tissue won't form and prevent you from fully inflating later on.
Based upon what I have read and my own experience it sounds like your doctor took a fairly standard approach.
I strongly recommend patience.

Re: How many times do you cycle your implant a day or week?
I got my Titan about 16 months ago. I cycle every day. I had assumed that I had lost a 1/2 inch or that I was just fooling myself from the pre-op measurements I had made on my VED. Starting about 4 months ago I would cycle till I got a bit of burn and leave it that way for at least 15 minutes. It wa...
