maximizing size questions

[hendrix]

I haven't been able to find specific threads or conversations on this. I've seen some comments made in passing, but no real consensus. Couple questions on maxing

1) is there any use in doing exercises prior to surgery so that the doctor would fit in a longer prosthesis? I've seen people briefly talk about things like jelqing and a bath mate. After googling it looks like these things increase size. Any thoughts?

2) can you increase size after surgery through putting in some effort. I saw one guy say that he would pump to the max. Then he would put on a warm cloth to make the penis stretchable. Then he could get in a couple more pumps. He would then repeat the process of using the cloth and getting more pumps in. According to him he gained a significant amount of size as the next time he pumped up his erection he would be bigger than last time. Any thoughts?

Hi Hendrix,
I can say the AMS LGX expands 20%, although I think it only expands in length. I can testify the AMS LGX helped restore size lost through atrophy.
I think everyone agrees Vacuum pumping helps prevent loss in size from atrophy.
My doctor suggested I vacuum pump before surgery. I pumped twice a day for six weeks prior. The doctor put in the largest that he could. I guess there's no way to know if the implant size would've been smaller without vacuum pumping.
With the implant I'm almost as large as I was at 18 years old.
The day prior to the implant I had lost an inch.
So, there is hope and encouragement for the usefulness vacuum pumping.

Just a note about the AMS 700 LGX. The L stands for length and the G for girth expansion so it does both. I am 3 months post surgery and have been pumping daily for the last 4 or 5 weeks and I believe that I am also gaining some length back after 15 or so years of worsening ED and radiotherapy for PC. As for vacuum pumping, I of course tried that for ED relief, which didn't work, but I could see that done regularly, at the very least, it would prevent atrophy. It would provide blood and keep the tissues supple, both things that nature does on its own until it doesn't!

greetings,

my surgeon did suggest using a penis extender before surgery. ideally 6+ months use is preferred. i had about 3 months before my 7/6/2015 implant. based on my measurements i only gained 1 cm before the surgery but it did help stretch the penis. so i'm too soon after surgery to determine how much i might gain but i don't seem to have lost any length which was my initial goal.
