Implant. LGX owner

[cbinspok]

LGX guys I need your thoughts, if you have followed my journey the past several months you know it been a roller coaster ride for me. I’m so excited to be able to re start cycling again. The thing is my left tube now has a noticeable bend to it when pumped up, when receiving the new reservore they moved the pump too to a much better spot and evidently put in a new pump at that time aswell. So now it’s another break in and this new pump has a lot of air pockets? this has been a hassle and there is no real pain at the tips and gland but rather all stress seems to be on the sides of my penis. Here’s my question should I continue pumping will it correct its self or notf Dr Monday? I was so happy to turn the page this is scaring me. Your thoughts?
Thanks cb

I don't have the LGX, but wonder what you mean about "air pockets"?
I hope you don't have air inside the system.

Have just had an lgx700 installed. I start cycling next week. I therefore have no insight so far, but will let you know when I start.

I think pain around the sides before the tip is normal. I've heard of that before. I think the reason is that there is less resistance laterally than length wise, hence the implant expands in that direction first. I think.....

Best of luck to you in cycling.

I remember reading that some material was porous to air so that air could eventually bleed out of the system. I do not remember what brand or if it was for all implants. This might be the material that the reservoir is made of also.
This should be verified elsewhere rather than taking my word for it.

I would say yes to keep cycling and to check with your doctor. My thoughts are we seem to have different outcomes as well as paths to implant. Best thing to do is stay positive and work on learning what you need to do to make your implant work for you. I also have bend but in my right cylinder. Just had a bit a fun with positions that were best for this.

Thanks guys, l did text Dr w discriptionand request for his thoughts. He asked If I mind sending a picture, so I did that and sent to my wife accidentally LOL, (im not home for a few days). Dr said to keep cycling, It is disconcerting because it wast like this in April but, I will continue, I need that inch back.
Thanks again all

So cycling 2x for one hour daily, now that Left side tube is quite lumpy towards the bottom and the deflecton has increased to wrapping around the shaft and is now bumping into the bottom urinate tube. It feels like a big “ dent” on the left side because the expansion isn’t where it should be, Im going to try to get an early opt. Im getting pissed about this new and very unwanted development. If anyone has thoughts or advice please let me know. Tx cb

I have just found thatone of the tubes (cylinder to pump) is high, its positioned above the base of my penis, actually on the shaft itself. Its obvious, it would also mean that a cock ring placed around the base would go over this tube and possibly compress it.

Do you have this too?

I'm not quite sure what you have going on. Are you referring to the tubing or a cylinder?

LaRoast
My supplie tubes are high in scrotom but not in base of my penis. For awhile
I thought they were but as time went on I discovered it was a dog ear fold. The fold is much worse on left side where im having the issue. The pisser is pre 2nd operation both sides were equal and correct when pumped. My fear at this point is the infection got up there and did some sort of damage.
Ugh. Good luck mate
