Gents,
I had a follow-up appointment today at UCLA. It's my fourth follow-up with another one scheduled in three weeks, so I feel well cared for. I have an AMS 700 CX 24cm+1cm. This was the first time I had been fully deflated and inflated, as well as cleared to cycle. I am jazzed that I am at 3-1/2 hours and counting at 100% (adding pumps every 15 minutes or so whenever possible). It's uncomfortable, but I am very committed to a good outcome.

From what I have been reading, I did OK concerning length, but I am not so sure about girth. I am now 6" x 6" fully flaccid and 7" x 6-1/2" at what is 100% on the first day. That is a loss of something over 1/2" in length and 3/4" in girth (without having used a pump).

Here are the new photos of flaccid and erect:

I constantly warn members to not measure early in the recovery period. By my defination you're very early. Someone asked about 6" girth CX owners. It might if been you. I broke my self imposed rule to reassure the member asking that 6" is possible. I'm proof. I've also posted that during my 6 months of recovery with fairly aggressive & steady cycling. I've gained 2cm in length over my pre surgery stretch test.

Sorry but that is about all I can advise you on. Physically you & I differ enough that raw size measurements are irrevelent. Come back & talk when you're closer to 6 months & have been cycling. I'm fairly certain that you'll be happy at 6/7 months if you kind of follow what I've outlined.

Btw, even though the CX isn't advertised for growing like the LGX. I did get my dr to make a quick offhand remark that the CX will grow around 3%. He is in pretty tight with Boston Scientific so I trust his unguarded comment. I'm hoping to push that a few more percentage points if possible.

Looks just like mine does. All though my length is 7 1\2 inches and girth is the same as yours. I got the results about 6 months into my cycling. I use my VED a few times a week and was trying for 8 inches, but it want go any longer. I am happy with what I have now. You should increase the length over time. Did you doctor clear you to start using the VED yet?

congratulations rodsmen, it seems like an excellent result, certainly with cycling it will grow both in length and in circumference, a curiosity, where the final tips are located in the glans, both when flaccid and erect

Looking good Rods, remember please, I know you’re in a hurry. In a year it’s going to be soft and flexible and even more great. It takes time bud. Heal and enjoy the process.

Thanks for your response. Yes, I know it is extremely early, but I want to be able to document the changes during the next six months for the men in my footsteps. I was only with an intern yesterday, but my surgeon had originally told me that he was OK with using a VED post-surgery when he gives me the OK. The intern said I should absolutely not do Dr. Perito's "The Exercise" now, or ever since it causes extreme back-pressure on the pump and can lead to failure. I got up to six hours at 100% yesterday, so I am serious about cycling. My doctor told me in advance not to expect to get back to the 8" I was at right after using a VED before surgery, but that I would get back the 7-1/2" without. That's only 1/2", so I am pretty confident of that, but I am concerned about getting the girth back.

The tips are about one-half way into my glans. I didn't note a difference in that between flaccid and erect. They are perfectly symmetrical, but one of two issues I have is that my glans is now quite tilted to the left. I am concerned that all the force will be on the right tip, and so could be a source of erosion. At my appointment yesterday the intern said to wait and see if cycling solved it before discussing "modelling" to fix it.

thanks for the reply rodsmen, I'm sorry about your situation, I looked at the photos as well as a small curve it doesn't seem like it could be that serious, I think you'll solve it with cycling, the right part of the glans rose slightly for me, with cycling it aligned , but it wasn't crooked, yours was crooked before implantation or became crooked after implantation, it seems like half a cm is missing from the left side
