Re: Possible Pump failure or leak only 2 months after surgery

I had and have some trouble with my AMS LGX pump and inflation. I had some luck in contacting a Rep with AMS that gave me a fix that was not listed in my AMS owners DVD. I would check with Coloplast and get a record of your issues with them and see if they can help you. Often they can help where you...

Re: Activation

Doctors are as different as the men that are implanted. Some doctors have developed methods of surgery for early activation. Others have not and skill level is different also. The time to be concerned about waits for activation is during your surgeon search. This would be one of the questions to ask...

Re: Inflating 9-10 times a day? Is my local uro crazy?

The cylinders of the Titan are advertised to be able to be cycled millions of times with out failure. So this may be the source of the information your doctor was speaking. The tubing from the cylinders to the pump and reservoir and the pump it's self is another thing all together. Did your doctor ...

Re: Need a great implant doctor in LA, any referrals

Karpman will do both but seemed to have a preference to AMS. His name is in the intro to the AMS user DVD that came in my packet for the patient demonstration. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qwp0YfSLxIU His reputation is very good. He was on my list for doctors for this.

But it also shows that the majority of...

Re: How do y’all live with this ?

There are many causes for ED. But the cause should not matter. Like with any other illness. So what I finally did was follow advice on this board and make it a goal to fix it. I read that nearly 50% of men who have ED never told anyone and just suffered with it. I was one of those for a long time. I...

Re: Trouble pumping

These devices are made to last a long time and are stiff and tight. They are self lubricating and when left at one inflation level until activation are not being self lubricated. That is the reason when you are able to cycle successfully they start working better. They are being lubricated. Heat hel...
