Re: Bicycle riding
I ride ~60 miles a week, and have been with my AMS CX for the past 11 months or so. No issues with my saddle or device when riding. Since tubes were mentioned above, Dr. Eid put out a video about the tubes being an issue on the Coloplast Titan with the Touch pump. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aTQ...

Re: Implanted 3-20-24 Dr Clavell
Before you know it you'll be a year out and you'll wonder where the time went.... ;) Congrats, it just gets better and better every day. I'm one of the lucky ones, I only took Tylenol and Advil for a couple of days, had no bruising and was released to use it as designed at 4 weeks. IMO you chose one...

Re: Over pumping AMS 700CX
Post op I could pump 100x and never get the 'marble' I read about so often on FT. I was worried. I contacted Dr. Clavell and asked him if there was a bypass valve I was engaging, there is no bypass valve. His counsel was to just continue cycling and things would settle in. Probably 2 mos. post op I...

Re: Does your spouse pump it?
she has, she can, but it sort of takes us both out of the moment. I can do it one handed with ease so it's my job.

Re: Firmness Question?
my vote is you're just losing hand strength...
Do you get to the same hardness on the pump you once did? Does it 'marble' and you feel the cylinders are not as stiff?

Re: Prosthesis cost
I've been told the AMS unit is ~$700 more than the Coloplast, but I don't know the base cost. I think in some situations that may be why a particular doctor may only offer the Coloplast, there's more profit in it. AMS has a very significant worldwide market share advantage over Coloplast, so I assum...

Re: Playing around with my pump before first inflation...
just wait until you get to play around with your penis, SO much better than just playing around with the pump.

Re: Pre surgery measurement
I recommend (for your own purposes and reassurance) measuring yourself, with photos. Length and girth. Get an erection as best you can and measure. Memory is malleable. When you measure your post-surgery erect size, you want to be able to compare objectively and not depend on what you remember from...
