Thanks for the info about manipulating the Penis in all directions to bring back some of the "lost" size. I find that very interesting. Of course size doesn't matter, but then it doesn't hurt either-except when one pumps to much. But there is only so much fluid in the reservoir so that shoots that down also doesn't it.

But, more info to "play" with. ;D

I'm not noticing any tubing near the surface. After the first day finding the belp the button is easier. I'm no longer squeezing the wrong thing. The doctor advised me to move the penis in various directions while erect to encourage increasing the size of the erection. The first week I am to erect things once a day and then move to twice a day. He also told me I am "good to go for action" whenever I feel like it without waiting four additional weeks. That was a surprise after reading your post and Zack[move][move][move][/move][/move][/move]

Yes, that is what I meant. For some reason the salesperson (Company Rep) from San Antonio had to bring the Implant to the Hospital. Like Austin isn't big enough to have some on hand?

It's no problem at all once one knows what the heck they are pushing, probing, feeling for.

I am still having a bit of trouble coming to terms with the feel of all the plumbing inside the scrotum tho. and the tube running near the outside of the base of the Penis. My reservoir is very near the surface so that probably changes the way things feel.

Let me/us know what transpires with you all please.

George,we have been following your tale with great interest as my husband also got an implant in November. But we are puzzling over your statement that the salesperson came along to witness the implant. Is that what you meant? The doctor brought in a sample of the device in a plastic bag when my husband went for his recheck to help with the education. However, it was still tricky finding the button in real time on our own. The doc said it was like learning to ride a bike. We shall see how true that is.

:-\Yes, I was totally confused and I can't say that it was anywhere near what one would call fun trying to figure it out. My brother-in-law asked me if it hurt, and I asked him by way of an answer, "Have you ever had an erection for five hours?" Of course not, wjho has except for some of us trying to have one at all!!!!!!

I will keep this venue posted of what transpires between my Uro and I about this. His nurse is the one that gave me the paperwork so maybe there was only one type on file or something. I don't want to make excuses for them, but I do no that accidents happen. that's why when I had my knees operated on (one at a time) I marked the knee which was to be operated on with a magic marker. Not needed on the latest operation since I am not from Mars and have only one penis! :D

George, what the heck does your doctor have to say about this? I'm not going to call it "bait and switch" until we know the whole story, but I can certainly see why you were confused.

If it helps, I had to call AMS once as well when I couldn't figure the darn thing out. But I certainly didn't have to dislocate my shoulder deflating it--that's beyond the call of duty!
