a question for AMS LGX implantees.....

Postby dmikesaw » Wed Sep 28, 2011 8:56 am

I am wondering about the difference between your initial inflated length versus your initial uninflated length (the first few times you inflated/deflated, not months/years later after any expansion might have occurred). Was the fully pumped length significantly longer, or only slightly longer, than the fully deflated length?

-I'm wondering the same thing, for some reason nobody wants to reply, or maybe they don't remember. I see were only a week apart on the surgery time line, 9-01-11 for me. I am also wondering if what we have is it, or will we get more length on activation.

THere was a very noticable difference in the initial uninflated lenght vs the inflated. After 8 months, it appears or seems that the uninflated lenght is now longer and the inflated lenght now is about 1/2" longer as well compared to when I started. However, I now no longer bother to squeeze the fluid out to get the most natural looking flacid state, so this may be affecting my preception of lenght. You will find that if you hold the deflate button and squeeze the shaft you can completely deflate the cylinders as opposed to just pushing the button and let it deflate on its on. When you just push the deflate button and let it deflate with no extra help from squeezing the cylinders will still be filled but with little pressure which I my case is similiar to the way the surgeon left it during healing.
