Well I was implanted with the AMS LGX 700 September 15, 2014. it quit on me September 15, 2017. I am waiting on a referral so I can visit my urologist to start working on a revision. I used it on the morning of the 15th, worked very good. I went to inflate it later that day sounds like the pump has a leak. So wish me well on my revision.

My second Titan failed at 2 years and 10 months. Went flat, just like yours. Less than three weeks later I had a new one. Don't need to imagine life without it, just have to think back to limp little noodle dick. This one fails, I wanna nudda one! Good luck man!

Thanks! I am hoping to get a Titan. The LGX was good to me but I want to try the Titan.

I sure hope your revision goes smoothly, and that it last a long time.

Sorry for you lewisbl. An implant that lasts only 3 years sucks. How about the 10-15 years mark which manufactors and doctors claim?

So much of life is just luck..... Good and bad..... Good luck - my dick worked well til I was almost 60....bad luck - prostate cancer.... Good luck - successful RP.... Bad luck - limp dick.... Good luck - implant... Bad luck - botched implant.... Good luck - successful revision... Bad luck - implant failure.... You see where I'm going.... Some of the luckier guys implants "last long time". Some of us are not so lucky.
As long as I'm lucky enough to have a working implant, I'm gonna "use the fuck out of it"...... Good luck man...)))
