2 month report

[Mr Timex]

AMS LGX installed on August 1sr, 2022. It’s now nearly 2 months since the surgery. The doctor told me that I could pump, cycle daily and engage in sex after one month. For weeks 5 and 6 I tried figuring out where in the my scrotum the pump and deflate button were. A lot of fumbling around. I repeatedly watched the AMS Video to find a pump action approach that works for me. My wife showed no interest in my surgery so it seemed rather shameful to continue doing what I was doing.
Week 7 I finally had the confidence to know how to inflate and deflate but have been unhappy with the size. The glans has been engorged almost constantly ever since the surgery. When deflated, it is still full. The shaft, when inflated is only about 3 inches with lots of loose flesh at the base. It seems as though there is lots more room for it to expand but I can’t get anymore expansion.
Week 8 I asked my wife to be sexual and surprisingly she agreed. It has been years. She appreciated that there was something there. Oral sex felt great for me. Intercourse was difficult as we are both overweight and in our 70’s. Any movement and I was out again.
I’m starting Perito excercises and will see my doctor again in 3 weeks.
I have not been able to achieve orgasm.

When I pump it, it expands but as soon as I let go of the bulb, it retracts. Is this a sign of a bad valve?

Inflating and deflating are tough to figure out. But inflating and having it go right back down when you release the bulb does not sound right. I know there is a way to lock the pump so you remain inflated. Hope someone with an AMS can assist you.
