Lost size?!?

[annoyed31]

I had an issue and AMS700CX behaved strangely:

The problem was deflation, If i press deflation button for 4 seconds. The fluid goes back from cylinders to reservior. But if i stop pressing the defaltion button i could still feel vibration and fluid moving back to reservior. Further if i pressed cylinders withou pressing deflation button there was still vibration and fluid was moving back.


I checked with AMS guide, I could not find this issue. It felt like the deflation button was stuck (pressed).

I stopped touching the implant for the whole day and the next day i carefully resetted the mechanism by pressing the deflation block for 3-4seconds, and thn pressing deflation for 3-4 seconds after that. The pump inflated properly than and again same problem.

I then resetted again stretched the shaft as explained by AMS. Sent an email to my hospital.

I did not touch the pump the whole day resetted again. Now it is working fine, I just do not press the deflation valve for longer duratio or with full force just enough to get some fluid out oy cylinders.

Strangely, before this i had to pump the implant 50-60 times to get barely hard but not really hard. But I can now get 65% hard just by 5 pumps and adding some half pumps (2 or 3) make it really That is good but also strange, bulb is hard again after resetting. I also started puliing my pump down and moving my sahft sideways up and down and pulling forward.

I can see my girt increasing form 5inches to --> 5.25 inches
and length is less as compared to pre op_ its 6.25--> 5.7

Bone pressed is 6 inches and pre op it was 6.75


You had any similar experiences?

That's normal operation for the AMS pump.

The first squeeze of the bulb sets the valve to inflate, and the first press of the deflate button sets it back to deflate.
No need to hold it down to deflate, just a firm press of the button and if needed squeeze the cylinders.
The valve also prevents auto-inflation after deflating.

I started cycling a week after my surgery. I was 5.5 in. at that time. Two months later I am at 6.75. Keep cycling and your size will improve.

Unfortunately, the Cx model isn't known to stretch much as the LGx. I have the Cx and sort of hate it. It works, but I lost 2.5" in length (5.5 now) and about an inch in girth. I was implanted Apr 12, 2021. I have stretched (pumped up) 95% of the days and sometimes twice a day. I try to pump (not a VED pump with constriction bands) with my regular pump but the cylinder is uncomfortable because of the pump in my ball sac. No increase in length at all.

something is not right here, if you have a 26 CM implant (basically one of the biggest size on this forum) you can't be 5.5"

People with 24 CM are even 8"

I would ask a top surgeon (eid, hakky, etc) a consult just to be sure everything is ok. Maybe you have one the longest crus of the world

Thanks - I realize 4" is better than the nada I had going into surgery but it's a good thing to think it'll end up somewhere closer to "normal".

DON'T panic.

Size/Girth loss is the #1 reoccurring thread on this site (Bar none)
The second you are green lighted to cycle -do it relentlessly.

I lost a 1/2 inch and I got it back in 90 days.
You'll be fine.
