your predictions please.........

[dmikesaw]

I was 7-7-1/4" (erect) before the implant a few weeks ago. I will activate it after 2 more weeks. I am about 4 " now (partially pumped up since the 2 week mark). Any idea how much I can expect after activation? Hopefully I will get to 6" or so after several months of daily cycles............... And hopefully "floppy head" won't be too much of an issue...............

Hi DMikeSaw. It's really hard to predict your estimated size unless you state what size implant you had put in and, if applicable, how many rear tip extenders and what size they are. This should give a pretty exact calculation of your new implant size. Also, after six months my GLANS and Corpora Spongiosum (the underneath part of the penis) came back to life and now gets a decent blood flow when I'm excited. That in itself makes this the gift that keeps on giving. You'll go through many changes in the next 6-18 months so just prepare to be amazed!

Floppy head wont be? It shouldnt be at ALL! When fully inflated the head of the penis should be rather imobile. Not 100%, but "floppy" shouldnt even be in the vocab there.

Unfortunately, floppy heads have been all too common lately. And there have been more than one with the Titan's from the guy at Vanderbuilt.

I will keep repeating. Get ALL of your questions answered and the assurance that you need from your doctors. If you're still not 100% assured, visit ANOTHER doctor.

Truthfully, I'm wondering if the guys who aren't lucky enough to get the chambers into their GLANS have GLANS that are too small to handle the chambers? I know that the ends of the chambers on the LGX are quite large!

okay, my implant was an LGX 700; 21 cm with .5 cm rear tip extender added on..............

so you have ALREADY HAD an implant and are asking all of these questions afterwards? Did you talk to your doctor?

[dmikesaw]

about what?

[LGX_Man]

that's what I was afraid of

I prefer to get real world answers (from other implantees). Asking ONLY your doctor questions about your implant is like asking a used car salesman about the used car you are considering buying (you are not likely to hear the reality every time, only rosy predictions and excuses). Yes, I had two pages of questions on my first visit with the doctor and a full page on the follow up visit (been reading these forums for years). There is a wealth of data available here (from other implantees) that you aren't likely to get in your doctors office.

Be an informed patient; don't just rely on your doctor, who is quite likely to give you self-serving answers. Don't be so naive - doctors don't have all the answers, they usually do their best, but implants are not an exact science - results vary. Doctors, like many other businessman, are constantly worrying about liability (for negligence/malpractice), as well as reputation/PR/marketing (future customers/patients/income).

Thank goodness for the internet, and for these forums. Shared information is the key to power/making informed decisions. Be a drone if you'd like, but I prefer to arm myself with as much information as possible........
