Placement of AMS

Postby jwayfield » Sat Oct 06, 2018 12:43 pm

Hey guys, first post. I'm Jeremy. 37. Had implant surgery 4 days ago. I'm feeling pretty good, able to get around. But one area of pain is what I think is the tubing above the device. I'm afraid I dislodged it or something...it sort of bows out at the top of the scrotum and near the base of the actual penis. Is this right?
Also...i was 6.5 before. He said he put in 19 cm tubing. What can I expect?

you're 4 days...don't worry. Yep, you'll feel some tubing, etc. It'll hurt. Again, take it easy and slow. Also, don't worry about length for now, just heal and wait. I am 10 weeks post op now and feel totally back to normal and good to go

Hey Jeremy I had my AMS implant 5 days ago and mine was 19 as well. I go back wed to get the staples taken out and have him activate it I guess. I have some pain at upper left pubic area but not too bad there. My incisions are prob the least of my pain. He inflated me slightly and it’s so rigid and the head is also sensitive. My wife and I just hit back from going out to dinner and I wore underware for the first time and it was very confining down there with him not cooperating. My ball sack is more weighted now, it’s huge. Feels like the device is wanting to tear thru the skin but it’s normal I believe. Anyways I believe what you are expericing is normal, we are both just very early into it.

Thank you guys. I'm feeling great other than the tubing. I have been really active so I'm just praying I haven't messed something up. I'm also having trouble squeezing the pump and locating the deflation block. But again, I shouldn't be doing this so early. Once I tried wearing a jock today, I've seen able to walk more normally.

I am not sure exactly what you mean about your tubing being a problem, but one thing many surgeons ask of their implant patients is to continually pull the pump lower on their scrotum as they heal. If you do that would it eliminate or reduce the issue you have?

Good morning everyone... Happy Canadian Thanksgiving... I certainly have lots to be thankful for and, that includes my new Frank Talk family. You guys helped me get through one of the darkest times in my life and I owe my life to you.

As the Moderator, I read EVERY single post. If someone does not have a signature, I send them a private message (so as not to embarrass them) and ask them to create one and provide detailed instructions how to do it and provide an example of what to put in it.

Thanks for all of your assistance and support over this past year, it's not always the best or rewarding job but I am proud to say that I am the Moderator of this site and equally proud to be associated with such a fine group of people. :)

Have a great day everyone. :)

Jeremy,
I was implanted on 9/5/18 - 33 days ago and my tubing is still prominent on both sides of penile base. It is not painful.
I see you had AMS LGX.
What is your current angle in deflated state when penis is flaccid?

Hello there. Maybe a 30 degree angle. I am not sure I am deflating it correctly.
