Guys,
Dr. Kramer is an amazing man. I can't tell you how great he did with my surgery. I have given the go ahead to pump and holy crap it's like a rock. I'm very fit and in the military. The pump ball is as hard as a rock. I jumped in the bathtub, took a pain meds and tired to pump and was unable to get the pump down even one time. I tired for over an hour. I have a new titan 20cn with 1cm ret.
I really need some advice and soon.
Thank you all so much in advance...
Bubba

Bro,
Sometimes my AMS pump gets hard like that.
I push the deflate button to set it. Then I squeeze the pump bulb.
It 'pops'' and I'm ready to pump.
Try this and see if it works.

I read the article. I'm going to let Dr. Kramer look at it. I'm crossing my fingers to say the least.

How long ago was your surgery? Dr. Kramer did mine three months ago. I have a Titan also.

11 Jan, no kidding. I'm a super healer and the majority of stitches have fallen out. I look totally normal and not if at all an pain. I'm lucky to say the least. Dr. Kramer said pump a couple of times and let's see. I'm very excited but going to take it slow as needed.
In life things are all relative. I took a round in the shoulder in Afghanistan so this is nothing to say the least. It was a in and out shot so I was lucky and it just basically pissed me off, lol. The Afghan was not so lucky and is in Allahs waiting room because of a great SAS Brit that saved my life.

The pump on my Titan was hard as a rock. 2.75 years later it's still quite stiff......

Bubba,
First of all thank you for your service. I'm glad to hear your doing so good.
I just had my implant done on the 18th by dr Kramer, I couldn't have asked for a better dr.
Anyway please keep us posted on what you find out. I may have the same problem when he gives me the ok.Maybe I can learn from your experience.
Thanks. .....Rick P,
PS. I tried to send this once before don't know why it didn't go.

Thank you so much. I hope it's not so hard as it is now. Something is stuck and I'm hoping Dr. Kramer can fix/show me how to fix it tomorrow...

If your pump is hard, the valve is probably stuck in latch mode.
It took me ages to figure out how to get into latch mode. now at 2.5months.
Just press harder and it should go soft and you will start feeling/hear the squishing of the pump working.
I squeeze it with 2 fingers against my palm/thumb pad.
This is with my titan touch. OTR is about the same usage but slightly bigger in size.
Otherwise maybe the reservoir lockout valve is active.
