Advice Anyone ??

Great  site with many knowledgeable people on the subject of Erectile Disfunction.

 

Hi

 

I have had my LGX 700 for 10 weeks now. Everything is going really well except I have a problem with auto-inflation. I have seen a couple of post on the subject here and tried various methods but just wanted to check if there was a technique I was missing.

Any help or advice gratefully received.
Dave

It's 2 Months old today!!!!

I just noticed - I had my surgery on the 26 July 2013 and now it’s the 26 September 2013. I am so confused working out the weeks I think I might give up on that now and just give you regular updates on progress etc.

One thing I was not expecting.  As it’s getting colder it can get a bit uncomfortable.  Since surgery there seems to be more sensitivity to both heat and cold and although in the heat it looks pretty damned impresive in the cold it's a different matter.  Although it no longer shrivels in the cold like it used to it does get tighter though I suppose it’s no more uncomfortable than it was before on a cold day.



Incision Healed - No red marks

Slight bend still but I'm not too bothered

I did call the nurse yesterday because I have noticed that although the tips are placed well into the head of my penis they now appear to be quite far back.  She said they may well have been there all the time as as everything settles and the swelling subsides I am noticing more.  All she said was to keep an eye out for any redness or soreness because that could mean erosion - and we don’t want that.  But there is nothing so far. I will keep my fingers crossed. 

 

She also said I could telephone or see her anytime if I was worried (as far as I am concerned it’s a brilliant NHS we have here in the UK) about anything.

I can't see or measure anymore changes in size (length or girth).  I could be wrong and although I might wish for a bigger willy I do believe that your penis is what it is and I wont see very much more growth.  Inflating and deflating is so easy now, in fact it has become second nature and I am just enjoying my new toy.

See you when I get back after my holiday.

Week 9

I am glad that so many people are interested in my Blog and it is even more heart warming to find that my story and the information I can give may help other men and couples with their decisions.  As is obvious it is not in any form a medical site just my experiences of having a Penile Implant following Prostate Cancer Surgery and in turn Erectile Disfunction.

Anyway back to the present…

I hardly notice my implant now and believe me during the first few weeks I never thought I would say that but it is true, it is slowly becoming part of me.  I am still learning about this amazing new part of my body as I am sure that I will continue to do, as always I’ll keep you updated.

I am still inflating everyday in my endeavour to get the best from what I have been given.  I am sure that it will be aesthetically better and my ability to use it will improve.  There is no discomfort at all now either when I inflate or deflate and apart from the implant still self inflating slightly (even then it’s just a case of a slight adjustment) I could not be happier.

I have had a go at taking a photo to show the pump placement (not an easy task I might add) and the only place I could think of was in the bath so apologies for that.  Promise I’m not trying to win a wet Willy contest <grin>.  Let me know if it helps, if not I will make another attempt.

 

The pump is the slight bump between the boys.
I can see it because I know it's there.
Can you??

Flying off for a bit of sunshine next week so I’ll let you know how I get on at the airport when I get back. It could be fun…..

 

All the best

Just Testing

Quick post via my mobile to see if it works ok.

End of Week 8

Well it's nearly the end of Week 8

Not too much is happening now. 

I am inflating my Implant once a day mainly because someone mentioned on another site that it helps to break up and stop scar tissue forming, makes sense I suppose.  To me it's just fantastic to be able to have an erection whenever I want but it does also stretch everything and get the tips into the head I suppose.

All of the things I was worried about are gone.  The incision has healed as you have seen.  There is no pain at all now apart from a bit of numbness in places.

In fact I have just taken this picture now to show you how normal it looks.  Not sure if you want to see (I'll do it anyway though) but if I can figure out how I will get one of my scrotum showing how the pump is placed (easier said than done so far).

Back to Normal - if not better!!

Anyway it was just a quick update.

Be back in a couple of days.

Cheers for now
Dave

Waxing!!!!!!!

Remember a few posts ago I mentioned a quick trim and waxing.....

NO NO NO NO NO!!!

NO MORE WAXING for a while.  We are far to sensitive!!!

It’s week 8 proper and looking back I seem to have become obsessed with showing you my inflated penis so I thought I would do stage-by-stage pictures for those of you not sure about the differences that I have been able to get from my AMS LGX700 Implant.

 

 

Flaccid

Semi - 4 pumps

 

 

 

What do you think

good huh!!

 

 

 

 

Full

 

Apart from a slight scar on my scrotum and if you really got close enough a third testicle I don’t think anyone could tell I even had an implant.  Best of all at the moment, the upward bend is going!!

The things that concerned me prior to surgery, apart that is from the surgery itself, were:

• Pain – Gone
• Bruising - Gone
• Lack of sensation – Not sure if the foreskin helps but its almost back
• Loss of size – Although erect I’m not like I was. I am more than happy with the result so far.
• Unable to inflate and deflate – No problem

 

 

Plus I’m having a bit of a clear out - Gone
