Re: slow puncture/leak
Had same symptoms. I consulted with Dr and was advised I needed revision. I did notice that if I stayed max inflated, which by then was 70%, the device stopped leaking. Staying 70% inflated for 4 months awaiting surgery was annoying, but I thought it would help preserve size. I did lose quite a lot ...

Re: Surgeon recommendations in the Wash DC area
I used Dr Cramer for original surgery. On revision at 3+ years, I was operated on my Dr Mendez. Her patient skills are very good. She listens, explains, and treats you with respect and kindness. Her surgical skills seem proficient. I did not have any issues with healing. The staff in her office are ...

Re: AMS 700 stopped working
Surgeon picked the titan as she wanted to eliminate the RTE’s and needed a size that AMS didn’t offer. I actually liked the AMS more due to comfort in the deflated state. (Softer). Not thrilled with the short lifespan I experienced.

Re: AMS 700 stopped working
My AMS 700 failed with the same symptoms. The recovery was easier on the revision. One thing that made it easier was going home without a catheter. The Dr said if I could demonstrate urinating before release, I would not need the catheter. It was difficult and I was still somewhat groggy, but I was ...

Re: For those with an implant how many years has it lasted you with everyday use?
Hillywilly, My failure was slow paced. I was losing fluid from the reservoir which showed up as the pump running flat before fully hard. It got progressively worse. I noticed that if l left the fluid in the cylinders, the system did not lose fluid. My solution was to pump full, which was 75% hard, a...

Re: For those with an implant how many years has it lasted you with everyday use?
3 years for me. When I look across posts on this forum, I only find one user who lasted upwards of 15 years, and he claimed never to use it. I do see many with multiple revisions over the span of less than 10 years. It could be that early failures is what brings users to FT, and as such we are not a...

Re: hardness Titan vs. AMS
I have had both. The AMS is softer, more comfortable, and more natural when deflated. The Titan may be harder when inflated but the hardness of AMS is beyond that of any natural erection. I posted a video demonstrating the AMS hardness when I had that unit. I crushed some cans with my dick. It seeme...

Re: Broken implant / How long can it stay this way?
I used Dr Cramer as surgeon and failed after only 3 years. My failure must have been between the pump and reservoir as it slowly list fluid only when deflated. When I figured out the failure I was still able to pump to 80%. Staying at that level I was able to maintain size over the 6 months it took ...

Re: Size immediately after revision
Was about same length and girth as you prior to any implant. Maintained length but lost girth with implant 1. Lost almost 2 inches length with revision. Same size titan as you so hopefully will get some back but no gains so far.

Re: Can you have sex with a deflated titan implant
I would classify the stages of inflation/deflation as 1 - iron hard 2 - comfortably erect 3 - smooth and soft 4 - wrung out For me penetration is possible in level 3 with a small amount of natural erection. It takes a bit of work to deflate to level 4, but at that level my dick looks like an empty b...
