I haven't decided which device to get... surgery in a few days!! Help!!

Yes, as long as the implant cylinders are regularly inflated I would be very surprised if any atrophy (i.e. size loss) could occur.
Even more so if you also have arousal engorgement during sexual activity. Thankfully I now get that again.

I should clarify, there are layers to what we mean by atrophy. ED makes everyone begin to lose size and the implant fixes that entirely, but some guys talk about their glans and the thickness of their tunica atrophying... this is something I can believe but seems like VEDs and cock rings would be able to combat.

Glans definitely, as the implant has a limited effect on that. But I'm still struggling with the idea that tunica girth could shrink when regularly stretched.
Yes anything that causes or maintains engorgement I think could potentially help. Both VED and cock rings did that for me pre implant.

not in size but in thickness. like they think the tissues are "wasting away" despite the implant keeping the internal volume the same

As I understand it, the surgeon decides. If youre larger, girthier, Titan is the preference.

I want to add, if you're girthier with a regular or former size 5.5" or higher, you definitely want the Titan. My experience and that confirmed by about everyone afaik is 5.5" is the max girth AMS 700 LGX supports. The CX does support more. And the Titan does too.

Please be careful throwing the CX under the bus. Rodsman beats me by a lot & he had a CX also. I think he had a recent revision & I don't know what he has now. But he was quite happy with his CX.

I doubt the model of implant has as much influence on your final girth as many people believe. Historical flacid girth is a better indication in my opinion. The implant should be an incremental increase over your historical flacid girth. Again, my opinion but my results supports my opinion.

I took the time to mention that "The CX does support more," even though it wasn't being mentioned here, so I don't quite see that is throwing it under the bus.

Very true. But lots of members confuse the two different models. Granted my wording could be considered overly harsh.

In fairness to myself. Girth superiority of Titans is almost a holy grail here. I am probably guilty of pointing that out excessively. True, I do see members posting about their Titan girth. But I seldom see much about their historical girth.

Honestly I never measured my girth before ED showed up. I didn't have great luck with several different penis pumps prior to surgery. I induced a manual erection regularly & made mental notes of how my fingers gripped myself. My after surgery is so close to pre that I call it the same. There is a small chance that I might of lost an 1/8". But I can't prove it nor do I miss it.

No offense intended.

My surgery is next week and I haven't decided which device to get. My doc isn't available to talk about it since he's on vacation and his only time to talk is a day before the surgery which isn't a lot of time to think about it. Even though AMS is more popular than Coloplast.

1. Can someone explain why more people aren't on Coloplast given that Coloplast has the biggest implant in terms of length and girth?

2. What can help me make a decision between AMS or Coloplast?

3. Why did you chose your device?

.

So, how did the surgery go? Which implant did you choose?

He didn’t, he slept through it!
