It's now almost 6 weeks since implantantation of my LGX. I am very happy with the flaccid and erect look. But I have still have a 20° curve to the left. For length, before surgery I was 18 cm and now about 17 cm.
Pain with cycling is minimal.

The pump is still a problem. I can pump till erect and after about 20 squeezes I am erect, but not hard as steel. Than I can't pump anymore, but after a while I can pump again like I can pump forever. It's like I pump, but it doesn't get harder.

In the erect state it's hard and I can hang a towel on it. But it doesn't feel rock hard which I expected. It's also still flexible.
My girlfriend said it feels normal, but she noticed also that when entering her with my penis it felt flexible. But it was not something that bothered her.

Does the LGX get's harder/less flexible over time?
Why is the pump first, after 20 squeezes rock hard, but a few moments later I can pump like forever but the implant doesn't get any harder?

Although I think my surgeon did a great job, I doesn't understand why he gave me a LGX with a pre-op length of 18 cm, with a 20° curve. Before surgery I told him I wanted the CX and he agreed. After surgery I asked why a LGX in stead of a CX but his answer wasn't clear (we don't speak the same language).

Overall I'm glad I did it and still not have had the "what the fuck have I done" thoughts.

I guess it's too early for me to give my opinion, but I will anyhow.
I think you should have got either the CX or Titan due to the curve.
That just doesn't make sense to me.

I also think your pump isn't right, but I hope that will improve.

Good luck, and it sounds like your GF is a keeper.

From my own experience, and others on this board, the LGX pumps can take a long time to really break in.

I've gotten to that stage, with about 25 serious pumps, where I just can't get any more in, and then the bulb just gets really easy. It appears to be re-filling, but all of a sudden it's easy. I think that may be the valve just getting stuck or something. What I've done is pressed the deflate for a very quick second, then began pumping again. At about 4 months, this rarely ever happens anymore.

Thanx Dave. You described perfectly. After 25 pumps I can't get anymore in and then it's get really easy but with new extra pumps it doesn't get any harder.

I have the LGX 18 so not exactly the same.

I usually do something like 50 partial pumps, at this point the pump is rock solid and I can do other 3-4 pumps with double hand and the pump becomes so solid i cant pump anymore

To me never happened that after a while the pump becomes soft and i can pump indefinitely

I prefer partial pumps over full wall to wall pumps because:
1. It puts less strain on my hand
2. The penis has the time to stretch better in length other than girth (and i need length stretching to recover my preop size)

Dutchie, you're still very early in your recovery. Trust me, you'll see steady minor changes over the next 6 months. Also, as for the number of pumps. Please consider that there is a very high chance that you are stretching your penis. Gaining some lost size. So as your tissue stretches, it takes different amounts of saline to fill it. To complicate this. As your penis stretches, you might retain more saline in your penis upon deflating. My suggestion is to ignore the number of pumps, its a highly variable number in the stage of recovery that you're in now.

At my 6 week checkup with my dr he showed some pumping technics that were more effective of delivering my finger strength to the pump bulb. As my pump relaxed the pumps to max decreased also. You just need more time.

I can't say that the LGX & the CX have the same pump. But it would seem that it would be simpler to only make one model of pump.

I tried to pump twice a day early on. I would wait a few minutes & keep trying to add more pumps. And yes, steady aggressive pumping might cause discomfort even after deflating. Its just the price we must pay to get a good working implant.

Good luck.

does it look the same as before surgery? considering getting an lgx

Weighing in here....

I tell alot of guys you can pump your bionic boner to the point that you cannot pump anymore. It will be strong and erect enough to hold a wet terry cloth towel from the tip and not bend. While this looks great - I have not noted any issues with penetration.

HOWEVER, I further share, that I find only pumping my dick to about 75% provides me the same (capable of penetration; great girth) and gives me much much more pleasure (friction) when penetrating my partner.

Each will find there "sweet spot on the pump spectrum.

Good luck!

Why you are changing your malleable? Do you having any issues?

Thanx! What are your thoughts about the hardness of the LGX? Does it become harder over time? Does your LGX "wobble" a lot? For me the LGX does wobble a lot more than my natural erection.
