I had my original LGX installed by Dr. Brook in Ontario Canada in 2017. It was a 21+2 assembly, scrotum method.
For 9 years I have been very pleased with the result - length, rigidity, all good... till last Friday. Suddenly the pump stopped working - once I pressed the button and squeezed the penis, the fluid stopped flowing back in the right cylinder; the left one continued operating normally. Now I have the right cylinder inflated at about 85%.
I assume there is no recovery from this state and I need a replacement.
My major concern is that since the right cylinder is still inflated. I can bend the penis so it is not too hard but still, potentially it creates a point of pressure which over time might become an erosion. I am wondering how much time I have before it becomes an issue.
Now I live around Austin, TX therefore I need some TX dr. I am considering Dr. Clavell (Huston), Dr. Kansas (Austin), Dr. Morey (Dallas). Although I am not sure if Dr. Morey works with LGX.
Back in Canada I had to wait for about 18 months just to get an appointment then another 9 months to get the surgery done.
Any time reference points for the doctors above - from calling the office, getting an appointment, getting surgery done?
Anybody else having a problem of inability to deflate cylinders?

Re: LGX pump stopped working after 9 years
When you had it installed first in Ontario, was it covered by insurance?
Now that you are in USA, do you have insurance there?

Yes, in Canada it was all covered by the insurance.
I kept the patient's record with serial number as LGX promises the lifetime warranty.
Here I have an employer sponsor insurance - UHC but the coverage output varies... let's put it that way.
When I had a chat with the UHC chat bot it said that "internal implants" are not covered.
However, when I check for the coverage of the procedure code# 54410 I am getting an impression that it might be covered because it generates how much I might be paying out of pocket.
But regardless, I do not have much choice. The right cylinder is only partially deflated, it creates a minor bot consistent pressure point. The clock is ticking.
And, as usual, this type of problems happen Friday evening so that one can enjoy a full weekend before getting any clarity.
