Re: Pseudo-coffin #2

Would you mind telling me the name of the video and confirming it is an AMS video?

Thanks!

Re: Pseudo-coffin #2

Just wrapping this up with a report of what Jamie at AMS told me today about late cycling and the dreaded "coffin effect". First, my call was only the second time she had heard of the "coffin effect". The first was the day before my call to her. I sent her the link that one of ou...

Re: Pseudo-coffin #2

Thanks for the information that Dr Eid updated his procedure. Obviously progress is good and requires change so no surprise that his process continues to evolve. That said, I wonder what prompted that change? Purely proactive for even more surety with future results? Or was he running into some smal...

Re: Pseudo-coffin #2

Found this 2014 interview with Dr. Eid on Yahoo Finance of all places: https://finance.yahoo.com/news/size-matters-expect-penile-implant-191035263.html "To ensure appropriate healing and prevent penile shortening, post-operative care is critical. If the implant cylinders are not inflated within...

I just removed my post. I realized I was missing some data and want to more thoroughly read before I repost on this topic.

Re: Pseudo-coffin #2

I couldn't even begin to suggest why there appear to be different approaches. Just letting you know what my Doc is doing for me/to me. This is from the AMS 700 Operating Room manual: "After three to six weeks, the physician may instruct the patient to begin cycling the device for the first time...

Re: Pseudo-coffin #2

FWIW going into the surgery my Doc was going to leave me partially pumped to avoid the encapsulation issue. However, something changed during surgery and they left the reservoir 100% full and the implant 100% deflated. His stated reason for the change was that the partially empty reservoir would hav...

Thanks for your posts - I think

I just wanted to thank all the people that have posted on this site. If it wasn't for all the information I found here I don't think I would have had the courage to get an implant. I certainly wouldn't have been able to make the informed decision I did. I was just implanted with an LGX 15 cm x 12 mm...

Re: LGX and the magical 25% increase in length

Really a great post. You asked right questions. Added comment. When iI is the AMS I was impressed with the length expandibility. My reasoning was I would get a longer sick. WRONG! THE dr subtracts the amount of expected expansion so the erosion problem does not occur. Defeats the theory that lgx 70...

LGX and the magical 25% increase in length

Hey all, I'm being implanted with an LGX and flat reservoir on October 22 and I had some questions about the practical versus theoretical results so I called AMS. After a few disappointing experiences (no response, no promised call backs, no forthcoming medical studies, etc.) I finally spoke to some...
