Size after a month: Does it get better?

Im here to say be patient. I too have the lgx. It takes time but you will see a big improvement after 2-3 months. I been pumping 14 mos and still feel a stretch. Im back to original size of 6 1/4 length and about 5 3/4 girth. I also get slightly more with arousal. It takes patients. Regular cycling til you have discomfort. Do it daily and hold it hard for a while. You will definately see gains. Good luck !

Thanks man! Taking notes

You said something about extenders in the tip, in your first post. The extenders are at the base. What length are your extenders? 2cm, 5cm, 2+5 cm? If your doc does not have that info the AMS rep can get it for you. Everyone should get a copy of their AMS implant specs and warranty.

At one month out I had not gotten back to my pre-op size. Your penis gets traumatized from the surgery and I believe it loses its elasticity for a while. When you pump it at first you only typically get several pumps in before you can’t pump more compared to substantially more pumps later on. So guys will talk about long term growth from cycling, but for me there was also short term growth after healing. My size went from 4.5” post-op to 6” after about 6 weeks. Now at 11 months it has grown more. The proper way to measure is to the bone for consistency. If you don’t you will easily get variances each time.

Hey! Thanks for the info, here i was thinking that extenders were at the tip. On my surgery folder I found the AMS card you are referring to with the sticker and serial numbers for the cylinders, pump, reservoir, accesory kit and (what i think) the extenders.

Thanks Greg, makes sense. This was my first pump so i just wanted to have several comments from different experiences and get a feel of what to expect. It all points to a greater length on the upcoming weeks and months, while cycling and healing. Appreciate the comments!

There are platic "tips" , < [ caps ]> on each end of the cylinders. Extenders, "RTE" Rear Tip Extenders; snap on the end of cylinder[s] @ the base [rear].

They not only add length, but provide for custom fitting the device to the individual for correct pump placement and fitting locattions etc. .

Agree with greg. Initial growth in the first couple months of pumping is more substantial. Then over what some people say could be two years you continue growing and expanding but at a much slower rate.

Right, from the specs sheet, i got 0.5 cms RTE’s.

I’ve been reading everything from 2 sessions per day, 15 minutes to 2 hours, use of VED, so the proper routine got me a bit confused, but I’m guessing my surgeon will propose the best fit for me. Some propose rest days, others to do it as much as you can. I guess that’s because surgeons implement different strategies as their backgrounds and experience kick in. Next Monday i’ll be in his office and see what he recommends. Thanks for all the info!

Greg,Bandit, Is it still painful when pumped to max at 11 months? I at first was devastated with 4 1/2 at first inflation but by 10 weeks was at 5 3/4. Originally about 6.5 with a VED. Still 5 3/4 at 16 weeks. When do you know when to stop inflating to max daily. Starting to wonder if it is worth the trouble and pain. I remember when I thought I was 7 before PC but that may have been my imagination. I kept my dick very active from RP till the implant with daily VED and injections every 4 days.
