now that I've stopped using vacuum therapy to stretch, my cycling length has stabilized. I'm 1/8 in shorter fully pumped then I was the night before surgery. The AMS video recommends that you cycle everyday for the first 6 months. I'm only 18 days away from that. I really don't care about an eighth of an inch but for the sake of Frank talk if I gained that in the next 18 days then I would have lost nothing. And for others that might be important.

Reads like you are in a good place now. Cheers.

Hey Doug... that's interesting because Dr. Brock told me 2 to 3 times a day for the first year and one a day after that up to the 2 year mark because, according to AMS, you can continue to have gains up to 2 years post op. I usually go up to bed a watch a little TV before going to sleep so that's usually when I cycle... if the wife comes in and is a little rangy, I am all set to go.... I just let a little out because she doesn't like a baseball bat in her who haw.

The video is probably just an average. it doesn't explain but I assume that for most people normal usage is sufficient after 6 months. Also Jamie's information about growth 7 tenths of an inch a year for an LG X would have to be based on aggressive cycling. I'm pretty sure but I fall into the average or that I should say I choose to fall into the average. this morning I hit 6.5 again without using v e d. don't know if that will last but it does typically. Not really concerned about it. I suppose if this were an AMS standard they would give the video to everyone but apparently they don't

Larry,
I think you may be right. In just the few days I've stopped vacuum stretching right tip pain has returned and my flaccid curve is back. I might need to do both until I can get fixed.
