It took me 5 months before I was able to pump all of the fluid from the reservoir until the bulb stayed flat. I lost about 1 inch post-op and just now have regained it. When I first started cycling I was worried that I did not feel any pain when cycling, thinking that I had hit the max, but continued to by cycle twice a day and staying inflated for an hour each time. The kind folks here encouraged me to just keep cycling, and over time I went from 5.5" to my pre-op measurement of 6.5", and when aroused my glans swells nicely and I'm just shy of 7". The pump is much softer and I now ache when at max for an hour, which is what should happen. I will probably drop down to cycling once a day until I hit the 12-month mark.
Just keep at it.

Thanks in advance.
I'm looking at this same situation, even size............
I'm at 3 mos post op, and cycling this same way. Stand up and walk around awhile, move my penis and scrotum around and up & down, then relax and try pumping some more. Sometimes I can get a few more good pumps before it gets hard again. I do stay maxed longer than an hour.
I can reach about 5.25 when maxed, but hoping for at least 6"+. So gonna keep on cycling.
Good luck to you.
Thank you so much.

Re: Cycling for size increase
Using the pump adding or forcing long inflations I had gains out past 1 year. The reason I have the LGX is to help restore as much of my lost size as possible. I am less than an inch short of my healthy youthful size of just under 7". Or just over 6". I have cut way back on cycling and the max I was able to get was 6.5" with glans engorgement. Pretty sure I can get back to that if I return to cycling every day for 3-6 weeks.
Injections failed. Implanted 3-21-18 AMS 700 LGX 21 + 1 RTE 100 cc reservoir 6.5" L 5" G Dr. Kramer.

Bend with support from other hand,just below where your bending it.I wouldt twist it ever!
After 10-12 months I was fully back to OEM size. At 13 months the pump would go flat about the time it got maxed. It took a lot of pressure and a lot of time to get to this point.

Re: Cycling for size increase
I’m at eight momths, and cycle multiple times a day some days. I’ve been doing what dr. Perito recommends, I.e. benching the dick like a four speed stick,shift in order to get more solution into the cylinders, but the bulb hardens at some point and I can’t ever get it flat.
I sometimes do get to that sweet shy spot, but would like to know how you get the bulb flat?
Help, please? I’d like to get back to my formerly impressive size, or at least close?

I think what helped me was to develop a two-handed grip where I have one thumb over the other when compressing the bulb, and crunch my abs to get as much force transferred as possible. You really have to exert a lot of pressure with the Titan bulb. I also think that all of the repetitive squeezing strengthened my grip. Also, I take a small break to give my hands a chance to recover, then finish until the bulb is flat.
I never did the Perito exercises.

Re: Cycling for size increase
How many of you guys have been able to squeeze all of the saline solution out of the reservoir and into the cylinders so that the bulb is flat? I have the AMS700, and the bulb just gets so hard that I can’t squeeze anymore.
Is the flattened bulb really a thing?

Not everyone will be able to squeeze the bulb flat. Suppose the cylinders can contain a maximum of fluid "x". And your surgeon fills your reservoir up with "y" amount of fluid. If x>y, you can squeeze until the bulb goes flat. If x<y, the bulb will eventually be too hard to squeeze.
Apologies for the math!!

To me it seems wrong for the reservoir to be the limiting factor in how hard you can get. The reservoir ought to hold more than enough fluid to fully inflate your cock. That said, 100% full is more than most women want anyway, so it's probably not worth a revision if your pump goes flat. I just don't think it's the optical target for the surgeon.
