Still trying to adjust to the pump

[Larry10625]

I am really wondering, strictly from the healing perspective, how a pump is expected to drop if the healing process fundamentally is re-vascularization of tissues and encapsulating all foreigners bodies (cylinders, tubing and pump)? I understand that during the healing process it is instructed to pull down the pump so that the encapsulation ensures to keep it down. But after it is already fixed, only tearing it down (under surgery, of course) is the only way to get it moved.

Plumber, from what I remember from college, swelling could very well cause it to remain high and as swelling goes down, so does the pump.

Larry,

The general point for some doctor's order to pull down the pump is to avoid encapsulation in a high position. The rate of internal healing, compared to the external one, is so massive fast that you basically are running against the clock.

Each individual is different, but that was the reason for my revision #2. The pump healed so fast in a high position that it rendered it unusable.

Well I won't have to worry about that. Mine is at bottom of sack. I can position it at a 45 degree angle at that position. Does this seem excessive plumber? Maybe I'm worry over nothing about the tubing.

As long as the tubing doesn't heal stuck to either of your cavernosas, you should be good to go. On my case, due to excessive tubing left on revision #2, it got healed that way, creating a series of problems that are way below the acceptable implant.

Ok, phew. I know that it's not stuck, because I can easily move the tubing around. I just notice at times. If I had to guess, I would sY that there's an extra 1/2" of tubing.

Are you good to go now!

[ThePlumber1964]

No, I am not. I need to precisely resolve this issue, which creates other problems, that only a 4th surgery will fix. Really complicated, to say the least.

You just can't win

[ThePlumber1964]

I will. I am not a quitter, even in front of adversity that can break ones spirit.

Right on Plumber, I like your attitude. I haven't heard your full story. I knew that you had one implant that went bad, but I didn't know about the other 2. You have that fighter spirit, and it is admirable. Are you scheduled yet?
