John I echo the other opinions - do not do it! Get in touch directly with your last surgeon and see if they will 'go to bat' with AMS, and alternatively contact AMS directly (describe the issue, the financial burden, etc).

I always press the deflate button first - then do a quick squeeze to start inflating (and hear / feel the 'pop' previously described). Hope that might work for you.

You might benefit from a conversation with an AMS rep - possibly even the one who helped with the implant procedure. They've been through many similar situations and can offer suggestions for 'easing the transition.'

That area is particularly stubborn - sometimes called 'the last to go.' More attention to your abdominal muscles' fitness may be helpful. Congratulate yourself for losing 30#s - and continue till you reach your target weight - along the way your should see some improvement. You can also talk with yo...
