I'm going on 9 years with my implant and only issue is it doesn't inflate as fast as it used to
The ball used to instantly re-inflate after squeezing, but now it's taking 2-4 seconds to fill back up. Anyone else have this issue?

Mine was tough to inflate at first but it definitely gets easier.

Re: Before/After pics
I asked the nurse about gaining length back and she said I wouldn't. However, she didn't seem knowledgeable though. I was quite concerned about the loss of length, but my wife says it's a non issue. Says the girth and how hard it gets is what makes it so much better.

Before/After pics
I finally was able to take all the pics that I have and put them in order. This is from years ago before my accident that caused spinal cord damage to last week when I took a pic of about 3 months out. Feel free to ask questions! I'm going to post over on the members only as well. http://imgur.com/a...

Re: Young man with an implant,sounds impossible now
My surgeon said use it as much as I want. Should last 15-20 years. I have the Coloplast Titan.

IT WORKS IT WORKS IT WORKS!!!!!!!!
My doc had to re-schedule my follow up. This was hugely disappointing because my wife and I were counting down the days until I could test it out. So the other day I decided to just inflate a little and see how it went. But then I couldn't deflate it. It took me a good hour trying to figure it out, ...

Urge to inflate before given the green light
So how many here have inflated their implant before they went for the post op follow up?? I have 2 weeks left before visiting with my surgeon. Other than some drainage, everything looks REALLY good! I'm really anxious to see how it looks and would LOVE to inflate it...but I won't. I'm too worried th...
Re: Hot bath
My doc told me to start soaking about 3 days post op several times a day. It DID do wonders for my aching body! You will heal quickly.. Good luck!
Re: Implants
I was scared shitless up until they started running the anesthesia in. I'm pretty sure everybody was. I'm three weeks out now and we are counting down the days til full inflation. SO far it looks great! Hang in there.. it will be worth it in the end!
