Questions I never asked after my surgery.

#2 am I limited on #1 by how much my Dr filled? If i think or find its underfilled is it a easier procedure to add more saline?
Possibly. Are you squeezing the pump bulb flat at your maximum inflation level? Usually you will have received documentation at the time of your procedure with the implant details including reservoir volume and fill level. I have read that you can get a procedure to add more saline but I don't know the details.


Interesting I never received any details about mine other than a card for mri purposes.

I also have a card for airport security, MRI etc. My detailed procedure information sheet was filled out by the Boston Scientific rep who was in theatre. I'd expect that Coloplast would have a similar process. It details all of the components used and sizes, proximal and distal measurements taken etc. Might be worth asking Dr Eid's office if they have it and can send you a copy? I'm happy to upload a redacted version of mine or PM it to you if it helps.

Thanks, I will get ahold of Dr Eid’s office next week. I’ve just been expecting the information to show up on portal.

By 11-12 months I had reached my pre ED length of almost 7inches and my girth was fully back with a little xtra at the base from pre measured. However a little over 12 months I truly maxed out as in I ran out of fluid! Had always gotten about 26-28 full pumps in and was pressing as hard as possible to try and max out my size and one day the bulb just did not reinflate!!! Talk about an OS moment!!! Was very concerned at first that I could have a leak but month after month it kept maxing at the same number of pumps. I had a friend that got implanted about 4 weeks earlier by the same Dr and got the same titanium implant pus 2 additional cms. Called him when this event happened and he had experienced exactly the same thing around d the same time as I had!! He called the Dr and was told that it was at its max and any further exercise would be useless and not to worry unless it stopped getting hard. Well it’s been over 2 years and I still pump til the bulb flattens out and it still is rock hard so guess no issues. I looked at my info sheet and it shows he used the max amount of saline recommended for the size implant I received. So I definitely quit exercising it except for when it’s wanted or needed. Good luck just hang in there.
