Joining the Ranks of the Implanted

[Lost Sheep]

AMS Rep? I must have missed something as I did not have an AMS rep--although I wish I did. How do I get one of these?

Try this:

Boston Scientific patient liaison at 1-800-328-3881, option 2, or visit our website at www.bostonscientific.com/implantinstructions.

Congratulations on your successful surgery.

I talked with what I think they called a "patient liaison" before surgery. He was very kind and helpful. I got his contact info from the Boston Scientific website. They are listed by region, or you can call them. Additionally, I met with the AMS rep 30 days after surgery for instruction and go ahead to start cycling. He was in the OR for my surgery too.

Yes, take pictures and measurements of your penis. Use the Bone pressed method of measurement. Document all you can.

Implant techniques are all over the place. AMS has a youtube video on the surgical steps in the Op room. The rest are "technique" items by the individual doctor. Such is the state of the "art" today.

Best of Luck to you. Please come back and post your experience.

Also--be excited, I was. And now almost six weeks after being implanted I am even more excited! My new penis is fun to use and enjoy again.

I found my doctor through the Boston Scientific search. Shortly after posting a question about size, the rep called me and introduced herself. She has been the rep for almost 300 implants and (fwiw) said that Dr Allen had a great team that had done many (?) implants and that she would be in the operating room. Both she and the Dr said he had an infection date of less than 1%.

She also discussed the "expansion" capability of the LGX and said that she had several guys report gains of almost an inch (I truly hope so) with regular cycling of the implant. No worries there. I hope to make full use of it.

Thanks for the encouragement!

Wait, what? Ken, you're getting Dr. MARK Allen in Plano TX to do your implant!? If so, small world. He did mine too.

Congrats so excited for you. I also spoke with my AMS Rep before surgery. He introduced himself to me at the Operating room. He was in surgery while I was there. I also got the LGX and very happy with it. Good luck. You will have a hard time keeping your hands off of it.

Yes. The very one. How did he do? The AMS rep spoke highly of him.

Other than my apparently very shallow crus that I had no idea I had, everything seems to have gone great. I didn't gain anything above what I had, say 10 years ago before PD bent and narrowed it and ED prevented it's engorgement, but I did get back about 5.5"L x 5.0"G and despite his saying that it is impossible, I've even got corporal engorgement to some degree. That reminds me, I'm almost 18 months and need to schedule an appointment (haven't seen him since 3 month follow-up). I'm a bit overdue.

PM me and we can exchange contact info if you'd like, since we're in the same area and have things in common.

7-9 hours to go...scheduled for surgery at 7 a.m. Monday, Apr 12. AMS LGX 700 going in.

Ken looks like today is your big day. Congrats.
