Guys,
I thought I might start a new thread because I know there are a lot of guys out have dealt with inflation/deflation problems. Some came up with reset procedures that worked for them.
Let's see if we can share those techniques here. It will help lots of guys here, including me. I use an AMS CX 700

Re: Inflate / deflate problems
Only problem was locating the release and now I can also feel the release moving into the reset position when deflating along with something like a buzz as fluid leaves implant.
Implanted March 2nd by Dr. Kramer with AMS/LGX. Had a problem lower left (scar tissue) and he placed a larger (thicker) implant as you can here on the YouTube video. Got all back, ED over 10 years before Implant.

Re: Inflate / deflate problems
With my AMS, I can feel when the auto deflate kicks in. 
Sometimes I press the button again and it starts draining I just press my dick head against my groin and I completely draining. No back fill ever! 
Must be those RTEs.

Re: Inflate / deflate problems
Please, remember that it would help if, when you post your problem or solution that knowing which specific valve you have.
Both Coloplast and AMS have multiple valve designs and each have their particular operating characteristics and quirks.

Re: Inflate / deflate problems
A big part of my problem right now is that I still am having to squeeze through some thick tissue. That will improve. But, I've been having a hard time grasping it right now and getting it inflated. Lots of pumps get it sorta inflated. I'll post pics this afternoon.
Before the revision, I had it down to 15 pumps, valve hard as a marble. Now it's like it was when the implant was new, lots of pumps. I can hear the deflate but it's harder to grasp right now. This will improve over two months I believe.
