Another wonky pump

[wallyworld]

I spoke with Jamie today. Suggested 3 fixes in this order. First, press the rectangular ends of the block together as if you were trying to make the rectangle a square. Try cycling. If you still have issues try fix #2. Put a few pumps into the cylinders, then press the release button while squeezing the cylinders together. Do not "milk" them, just squeeze for about 4 seconds. Try cycling. If the issues continue, try fix #3. Press the release button while pumping the bulb once or twice. Then try cycling. No option 4 yet and hopefully won't need one.

Just tried Fix #1 and it worked. So far. Once isn't enough to convince me my problems is solved.

FWIW I asked Jamie about failure rate and she said pump failure is less than 1%.

I dissed the MS pump recently. I take it back. My new pump works well and the old one was in a place that I could not use it properly. So not fair to blame it. It pops first time every time very little pressure just as it should. Totally pleased with the pump's performance. The first surgeon not so much.

YEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA... so glad that things are FINALLY looking up for you.

Merry Christmas my friend and have a hard and horny new year.

When I spoke to Jamie she was really concerned about giving me option 3. So folks if you are having problems with your pump call her or someone else before you use a fix that is not on the AMS DVD. My understanding is that if you pump the bulb while pressing the deflate button without approval to do so you can cause something bad to happen. Just FYI. This is the reason on my earlier thread I did not post option 3. My AMS DVD is very specific about not squeezing the bulb while depressing the deflate button.

Glad you are doing well again. For me even with the trouble I am having with the pump, being able to have something that works is way better than the not working at all before the surgery.

I didn't get the sense from Jamie option 3 was any big deal. To be fair, she mentioned that generally you shouldn't do option 3 but I didn't get the "danger, danger Will Robinson" warning. Good to know you should probably check with her first on that option.

So far, none of the 3 worked for me. Now I'm looking at how I'm holding the pump and making sure I'm nowhere near the release button. Have had a couple of successes in a row but the next few days will tell.

She ask me questions and as my problem was different from yours in that I had one cylinder inflating and the other would not unless I forced pumps in after one of the cylinders was fully inflated. I had tried doing all the fixes on the ams dvd each time I tried to cycle with 5-6 attempts each time and this went on for weeks. And my surgeon gave me another fix that did not work. Seems to me that the main concern was if I had ever had the pump work correctly. I think it may have twice in the hundred attempts. She would not give me that option before I could tell her that it had. She seemed really concerned about that when I talked to her. I still have trouble with getting the cylinders to inflate equally. Most times I just need to wait 5 minutes or so and they level out. Not really a bad thing for me as now the cylinder that would not inflate before is inflating quicker. When the one cylinder inflated before the tip of the implant worked to the outside and underside of my glands. When the other cylinder would inflate after forced pumps it moved to the center as my penis was curved from the force of the already fully inflated other cylinder. Now this is correcting a bit as the cylinder that was not inflating before goes up first.

Sorry to hear you are going through this. I know how really difficult this is to deal with. I don't know why a few of use have this happen. Just want to make sure someone does not read a post and do something that might cause damage. Hope your problems resolve quickly.

I thought the 2 cylinders were pumped separate. I guess they are inter connected. Yesterday when pumping I found the left cylinder about 1/4 inch shorter than the other. I kept pumping and when the longer one hit max, the left one caught up. Today when pumped max the left is slightly longer. I am learning.
