I am about 5 weeks out of surgery with a 700 LGX. I am able to use the device just fine.
To deflate the pump, I have to push directly on the surgical site (which has healed just fine). It seems to me that the device has adhered to the surgical site - I can't move it relative to its present location - scar tissue must be building up. Is this a problem? I am thinking it might be a good thing, in that the pump will move around less when I am trying to work with it.
Where did your device end up being located? Is it in a convenient spot?
Thanks

Re: pump location
At week 5 you will not be fully healed yet, so I suspect there will continue to be scar tissue forming for the next handful of weeks.
Yes this is normal. My scar tissue started to break away when I started to heavily use the implant. Mine was attatched to the wall as well. I was very concerned about it but my doctor assured me it was OK. Now my pump is free floating and hangs perfectly with my testicles. To be exact, it is right infront of my left testicle. It is easy access and causes no discomfort.
