My implant died at exactly 3 years.

The final frontier. Deciding when, if and how.

The release end of the pump assembly is adhered at the top of the scrotum. The bulb of the pump is about level with my balls so everytime I walk any significant distance they get very sore. I guess I was spoiled - the pump on my original implant was in the perfect position - lower than balls and slightly to front.

I am almost at 10 weeks post surgery and have cycled only a couple of times. I currently have a small infection in the lower part of the incision that is very sore and because the pump is so high, it is right under this bad spot on the incision.

I am now also dealing with billing issues with U of maryland hospital.

Wow, it's a good thing you had Dr. Kramer, a high volume implant doctor :)

Damn, I hate to here this. That's not a long time. But wishing you well on your revision. Will you get another LGX?

ED,

Yes, I want another LGX. I'm hoping that I've gain some length from my first implant. My wife notice that I did lose some length, she's not worried about the girth. The question is do you gain extra length after a revision?

Anecdotal reports say some length is often gained. Revisions often, even usually result in a few cm larger implant than was removed. Not a whole lot, and may depend on the length of timr you have been without erections waiting for the replacement, too.

Thanks Lost Sheep,

I started using my VED again to make sure that I don't loose any length. It's taking my insurance over 30 days to get approval. 30 days is a long time, your penis will start shrinking to the size of the tubes of the failed implant. So, I am hoping I hear something soon.

I have 23 days left before my revision. I tell you the waiting around is killing me. I am using my VED to keep my friend stretched out, no erection you will shrink.

I wish my dick was bigger but.....

8 months post (third) implant and I'm 4.75" long and 5.125" in girth. In the mornings, before I flush, I'll think 'I wish my dick was as big as that turd".....

BUT I CAN FUCK!!!
