Good luck, looks great. Question? How many ml of liquid do you have in the 65 or 100 reservoir?

Thank you Oren. My surgical record says 100cc/ml for both the reservoir and filling solution. So I guess that means it's full.
Pre op I asked my surgeon to not short change me on the reservoir saline and go for the maximum volume possible.
He knows one of my goals is getting back to pre RRP size and I wanted plenty of fluid to help with any expansion I can achieve.

You made an excellent choice! I also have an LGX model with a 65 ml tank. The doctor only put 55 ml in it and I definitely feel that it is not enough. It is a shame that this important issue is not being discussed. I saw a study on axial load and filling quantity in cylinders, of course according to sizes, with a length of 18, the liquid ranges from 42 to 70, of course the quantity increases depending on the size.

I'm curious why they don't just fill the tanks to the maximum level. I can't imagine what harm it would do and it's not like saline is the price of gold.

My doctor claims that filling it all the way up can cause problems. Not according to the manufacturers. And I definitely agree with you for the price of gold. It can change the situation for the better. Definitely significant.
