Revision broke 5 months to the day. Things were going great, then BAM. This one I think is the tube from the reservoir, but we’ll see. The doc is out of town, so I have an appt next week.
This crap sure leaves you deflated (pardon the pun}.
The first break was 11 months from the day of implant. This one was 5 months.

Re: Blowout II
Has anybody here needed a repair/reconnection of the tube from the reservoir to the pump? I’m hoping this could be something which may be less involved with quick recovery. Thanks.

Re: Blowout II
Oh dude, I feel sorry for you. My advice : have a brand new implant, less risk of infection and less risk of mechanical failure .
It s the gold standard to have it replaced, not just repaired.
It will be ok

Re: Blowout II
was the first and second device PREASSEMBLED or did they do the connections during the installation surgery?

Re: Blowout II
I've always been leery of someone connecting the tubing.
I guess if one only needs a revision, it would be worth the risk.
Not everyone is mechanically inclined and doctors really need some mechanical ability.

Just a couple of days ago I saw a Dr. Kramer video where he basically says the same thing, though I did see one where he just replaced the connector between the pump and reservoir. I need to make a list of questions for my doc. thanks.

The first one I'm pretty sure was pre-assembled. The revision was new pump and cylinders and connected the existing reservoir.
It sure can make you go bananas sorting this stuff out.

I couldn't agree more. I'm a bit conflicted on this, thanks.
