Anyone had trouble finding the deflate valve?

Glad I read this I am 5 weeks and not seeing doctor until 7 weeks. Hopefully I will find it easier then. I did not pump yet but wanted to find everything!

I found it, it's high between the pump and left testicle. I couldn't wait, I been inflating and deflating. It's so fun it's my favorite toy!

Congrats! Now you start to realize why you went through the surgery!!!

I did this two days ago and found it no problem, now I'm going on two hours and have had no luck. Bath didn't help either. Either I'm finding it and it isn't working or it rotated. Gonna quit touching down there for 10 mins and regroup. But I hope this thing goes down soon. Starting to hurt. Shoulda waited the six weeks.

Taking a break helped. Finally found it again. Didn't deflate nearly to the level I wanted but I didn't use the tips on here to get max deflate like I did the other day. I was so excited to find it again I just did enough to get me back to functioning and laid down. I will try and max out in an hour.

Anyone in this position, just remain calm. If you are trying for an hour and having no luck, don't expect it to change. Hands off for a good 15 minutes and start searching again. I just panicked because I had no issues finding it the first time I tried on day 22

Ditto on Kramer being fantastic. & I too can't go back. Insurance also won't allow me to see another Urologist either for follow-up for 90 days (what a f'n joke). I emailed him and told him about the entire experience just now. Told him no need to get back to me right away as I'm laying off this thing for a couple weeks, but it's good to know he'll probably be emailing me some good tips.

After Kramer did mine (I was too far out of town to go back) he sent me a pretty long email with very detailed and careful instructions on how to inflate and deflate. Those paragraphs of instructions actually helped a lot- summed up I guess years of questions and issues he's gotten through the years. anyway I'd agree, don't panic if you can't find it, ask your doctor for help or keep trying. By the way I felt Kramer was absolutely terrific

Forgot to add to my post on visiting my uro at Day 17, that he gave me a full sized replica of the AMS 700 pump on a key-ring....

How bizarre, I thought....You go out for a drink with friends and everyone throws their keys onto the table, and the guys who get picked up first are the ones with the implants cos everyone knows they will fuck all night....

But, getting back to topic, the deflate button is very obvious on my keyring model, and I've never had trouble locating it by feel...And I had already looked it up on the internet, and their are plenty of pics, at least of AMS.......

At first I couldn't find the pump and then when I found it I couldn't locate the deflate button. My uro gave me one of the display pumps that AMS gives to uro docs. when I got home I played with the display pump till I knew where every thing was even with my eyes close. That helped me a lot, I can reach down to the pump and hit that deflate button easier then touching my nose with my eyes close.

Do you still have that email, can you post the instructions here?
Thank you
