Welcum to forum:)
Patience, patience, patience!
To give YOU some uplift, I am 5 months out. I had sex for the 1st time last week! My pumping is not on a set schedule because my pump was put in lower, so I pump when it feels OK to pump. The Dr. told me suture will take LOTS of time to heal (5 months out....yeah, no shit, Sherlock) and just do what I can.

As for the floppy head, yeah, better get that taken care of by a better surgeon. When you pump, the feeling you get is supposed to come from either the girth or length, or both, but you should get something (and if you are in the US, you probably met your out of pocket max, so another surgery you will not have to pay for).

Agfa13,
Thanks for the info. It gives me some hope!
I’m in Florida and I’ve already met my out of pocket for the year. Do you think my insurance will pay for a revision due to a floppy head? This surgery is so expensive I’m afraid they might send me to fly a kite. There’s one doctor at UM who’s a center of excellence for AMS, I guess he implants lots of units a year to get that distinction. I’ll should probably set up an appointment with him and see what's his input. But as I said before, when you start with a not so great foundation the chances to become great are very slim.

I too have the AMS CX model and when I first started cycling my shaft hurt and ached getting just a few pumps in. I can’t remember where in the glans my tips where but it seemed short to me. Now they seem firmly about half way in

I used the the doctor’s advice of cycling at least once a day. So I used the routine found on the AMS DVD they gave me as well. I remember my doctor saying that if I cycled aggressively in 18 months to 2 years I’ll love the look and feel of my cock.

At almost a year (wow time does fly) post surgery I’m just shy of where I remember being in length and seems my girth is larger. On that all I can really say is my wife thinks I’m bigger than before the surgery and she enjoys it as much as I do.

It takes time your body is still healing, cycling and getting used to the new you. I’d discuss things with the doctor if you feel that something is wrong. You could go for a second opinion with another surgeon.

Q

Quester,

Thanks for the great info! One question on the girth... when you started pumping, did you girth stayed the same size when erected as it’s when soft? That’s my problem. I pump and I feel a hard penis but the size is the same as when it’s flaccid. Does the girth start growing overtime by just cycling aggressively? Yesterday I pumped and felt the walls of my shaft wanted to explode, but then I measured and it was still 4.5”.

A curvature shouldn’t be a big deal for me as being short has no comparison... it’s the worse feeling!
From the very get go I wanted the LGX, but the doctor seemed adamant to use the CX from the beginning. A curve is a non issue as long as I could get an extra inch or so.
I feel like when something doesn’t feel good from the beginning is not going to be great at the end. Obviously I’m encourage with all the advice given to me by you guys, but I would’ve preferred to feel that I started with a good foundation and then build from there, but right now I feel I’m just trying to make the best out of my situation and don’t think I’ll be able to be ALL I CAN BE.
I guess in a way going thru this period of despair is going to have its reward at the end. I hope it will make me appreciate the end result eventually.
I wonder if some doctors go into surgery thinking on giving you something you’ll be super proud of, or if they just install the thing and said... Well! Now you have a working penis!!!
I understand you get what you bring in and all the blablabla, but some people have a natural demeanor to make things as great as they can!![/quote]
I feel your pain. But I have not been to the gym since my deformation. I can only tell you that plenty of guys here have magically grown much longer than they should have based on their measurements and implant size. Some have not. The only way to find out which you are is to use it like crazy and cycle daily expecting more.
As for your assessment of doctor attitudes, yes the majority are most worried about your ability to get really hard without pain or problem. Most will tell you straight up that size is not really a major concern. All of mine (4) made that pretty clear so don't feel singled out.
4 1/2 inches for most is disappointing. No way around it. But in Asia that's often normal. Had you been born that way it would never be an issue. I went through that same despair because I WAS NOT BORN THAT WAY MY DOCTOR CHOSE TO MAKE ME THAT WAY. Very similar to circumcision. Bottom line you can chose to be miserable and steal your joy of being able to have incredible sex again or you can chill and enjoy the ride as you try to make it better.

It took some time to gain some girth and length my doctor said it could take a 18 months to 2 years of cycling before things are settled in.

I cycle up to 100% and try to get small but partial pumps over an hour some days the ache is too bad others no problems

Quester:
Great pics. Correct me if I’m wrong, but it looks as if you grew 1” of girth? That motivates me a lot! Hopefully I’ll get there one day!

[Quester]

I’ve gained about 1/2” to maybe 3/4ths of a inch over the course of the past year. And after all the swelling has gone down I’m at the length I always remember.

If you look close the one of the photos starts at 0 and the other the way I took the picture I started at 1 inch mark. I did it that way to maybe get a better measurement.

QUESTER:
I see what you say, but just by looking at the pics I can tell the difference in girth. It’s very encouraging. Thanks for sharing.
I can see what everybody is saying. I have to be patient and give it time, but these pics tell me there’s hope to grow some girth and length. Once again thanks so much for sharing!!

If you met your out of pocket, you should be good to go if you get the revision for THIS year, 2020. Once January rolls around, you are going to have to fork out some $$

Time is short. Get into your surgeons office & complain about the floppy head. Just an opinion on my part. It might help to whine a bit about the floppy head hurts during sex. Just the floppy head might not get a revision. Painful sex might help get you a revision. Don't hold back on symptoms. Doctors aren't mind readers. Tell him little thing that hurts or doesn't work right. Be "that" squeaky wheel. Best of luck to you.
