Re: AMS 700LGX Impanted 11/21/2011{12/15/2011 major set back}
Craig, I was implanted 8 months ago and learned to completely deflate and leave it pointing up . The only problem with that position is wearing jeans, as they tend to be a little tight. Jeans are really uncomfortable when driving. I make sure I am "Completely" deflated by squeezing the las...

Re: my .02 worth
magnum - I went through the same stuff you are talking about. I totally understand what you are saying. I even began to believe I had made a huge mistake. The doctor and his staff were no help at all. Everything I complained about was met with a patronizing attitude. I was given no post op protocol ...

Re: Prosthesis activation
Ron You told me more in your reply than I have heard from the entire treatment team, which includes nurses, PA, interns, and the Surgeon. I sometimes wonder if I would have been implanted if I had known about the pain, the hospital process, the length of recovery and all the unknown factors. I just ...

Prosthesis activation
Hello guys, I am new to your forum, but have been reading your posts for several days. I battled Peyronie's Disease and ED for 4 years and finally decided on a Prosthesis. On Friday 7-15-11 my doctor activated the AMS LGX implant. However, he did not explain clearly the procedure, especially the def...
