There are two AMS 700. There is the LGX and CX. The LGX expands in length. Which one are you implanted with?
28 year old with severe lifelong ED.
Implanted in New Delhi on 26/12/19 with AMS CX (15x12) + 4cm RTE
Post op length 4.5 inches from ~ (5.5 to 6) inches. Disappointed!
Wish to have a revision to LGX some day.

As soon as I remember to call the Dr. office and get the notes, lol.
I saw him this past Thursday and mentioned this to him. Of course he did not remember, it was several months ago, but he said to call up the office and get the notes.
Those notes better say I am getting it ALL back!

During my recent appointment with my surgeon. He did mention that if a patient came back complaining that the implant didn't grow. That he knew the patient was lying about following the stretching instructions. I gathered that he had great faith in the implants stretching 100% of the time.
Just something to keep in mind if you are not seeing improvements in the first year or so. I believe that his opinions are likely shared by most surgeons.

Brant works 1 day of the week out of a clinic by the old Holy Cross Hospital in SLC. He told me that he actually does a little over half of his implant sugeries on insurance because the VA's bureaucracy is slow. He is very insurance savy, make an appointment & talk with him. It is very well worth your time. Don't be afraid to take your wife. Brant's exam room nurse is also his operating room nurse. Be sure to take your health insurance information with you to the appointment.
If you don't have health insurance then you'll have to see him through the VA. I don't have any experience with that. Be sure to take your wife with you so that she knows that you reconize the problem & that you are making an honest effort to fix it.
You can handle this. Just do it. Oh, Brant is a good guy & funny to talk to also. Just be honest with him & his nurse. They've seen & heard it all. You won't shock them.

I was about 6” when I was in my twenty (pre-ED) with awesome girth. Now post implant I’m 4.25”. It’s just not quite enough to be satisfying for either of us. It’s better than nothing but not what I wanted. Anything I can do?


Pete, you have AMS CX or AMS LGX implant?
A young guy in his early 30s from South Asia. Implanted Titan 22cm by Dr. Tariq Hakky in Atlanta (Dec 2020). Amazing doctor! No pain during recovery. My size is 5.75” x 4.6” which is better than pre-OP size of 5.6” x 4.5”. Hoping to gain more in future.
