Buldge at resevoir

[northernboy]

I am definitely not skinny 6'2" 225 lbs but I can feel a slight bulge at the reservoir site when fully deflated. I have the 100 ml reservoir with the AMS 700 CX. I don't feel any pressure there or anything. It is just when I run my hand across the area that I can just barely feel where it is.

I was told by my surgeon that since I had previously had double hernia repairs with mesh that he would not place resivor below the muscle.he also told me it would be very noticeable and would take some time to get used to it. He placed the resivor just under the fascia. I have a very large 2-1/2” bulge about a full half inch or more out when deflated and it flattens out somewhat when inflated but can feel the whole resivor, even roll it around. It took a full 5-6 weeks before I could stand any tension at all on it but now after 11 weeks I never think about it. Even put a belt on with slightly tight pants. It’s probably the only regret I have with my surgeon as I didn’t get any other opinions of what any other Dr would have done. If and when I get a revision I’ll be searching out a Dr that could possibly place it inside my abdomen as it is very unsightly to say the least.

Yup. I have a slight bulge.

My doctor told me to expect it. It's barely noticeable to look at, and I only feel it when I touch it with my hand.

Are you skinny too?

Yes. I'm 6'1" and weigh 175 pounds.

Is it easier to notice if you were lying down? I'm skinny to the point where when lying down you can see my pelvic bones and rib cage.

I suppose it is too late now, that's why I didn't post sooner. I have an AMS too, an LGX. I noticed that they had a flat reservoir called concealed I think. So that's what I got. It is 100cc and the only way I knew where it is was from the post op bruising in the area. Full or empty I cannot feel it. But the roundish reservoirs can often be felt and seen penoscrotal. I guess that I should add that I had penoscrotal for my cylinders and pump and infrapubic for my reservoir. A huge scar over my fat pad but the invisible reservoir is worth it.

No. I'm not that thin. Just normal BMI.
