ARE YOU HAPPY WITH YOUR TITAN IN THE FLACID AND HARD STATE.

Very happy with my Titan

[Masonjames]

I am happy with my Titan in the erect and flaccid states. I am four years out from surgery and the Titan has relaxed an has a more natural hang now. At about two years it started relaxing in the flaccid state.
Some poor lighting in this picture but I think my soft angle is good now

I'm very happy with the Titan. I do use it quite a bit and prolonged periods and I think it causes more wear/tear on the implant.

Hard state - it is harder that it will ever need to be.
Flaccid - i don't like the appearance of the dog ear so I keep a few pumps to correct it. I don't wear super tight clothing so its non-issue for me. Very comfortable in this setting.

I would second using or asking for the "classic pump" - i've had two issues with fractured tubing with the one touch, just had surgery for switching out the pump only. hoping it last longer.

How is it when you're wearing pants and shorts? and why did you think you made a mistake at the beginning?

Commando in gray sweatpants and shorts. I wear an old school jockstrap under my gym shorts and everything is supported and contained.

As for the feelings of a mistake, Dr. Hakky couldn't get my reservoir implanted in the usual location and implanted it between muscle layers on my right side. This position basically put a squeeze on my reservoir and the pressure overrode the valve in the reservoir and on the pump. I was auto-inflating to 80% less than 30 minutes after deflating.

Luckily I live 30 minutes from Dr. Hakky's office and was down at least twice a week for the first month. I was miserable. The "just give it a pump" advice on this forum wasn't cutting it. Finally, Dr. Hakky told me to get a gravity chair and use it. So I did and got some relief. Occasionally I would feel the muscles separating making room for the reservoir and after 100 days, more or less, I felt like I'd finally gotten to where I was supposed to be.

I still feel the reservoir when I'm deflated and I wonder if it's because it wasn't deflated for so long after my surgery.

Did Hakky say why the reservoir couldn’t be placed in the usual location? Is the recovery longer with the way it’s placed? Is the reservoir visible?

I've had my Titan Classic 4 months now. I'm very pleased. My dog ears are minimal. It lays normally while flaccid. I had "issues" with 2 AMS700 implants left me with a distrust of Boston Scientific, though it's probably more related to a lack of skill by my first surgeon.
