I recently had a penile prosthesis surgery. I had the AMS 700 LGX.  It has been over two months now since the operation.  Everything is fine and I am very pleased so far.  To those who had this surgery, can you do exercises such as sit ups and push ups, or exercises to flatten your stomach after the recovery period?  I am concerned because the reservoir of the implant is placed in the abdomen and I not sure if the exercise would not affect the reservoir. My doctor said that it would be fine to do such exercises, but I am not too sure. I am still concerned.

Well if the dr. gave his clearance, why not? I just got the same implant a week ago and assuming I don't have any issues, I will definately be working those muscles. After only a week of sitting, reclining and laying, I am going a little crazy. You might want to pose that question on the Frank Talk forum , implant group as that group has a big concentration of people with these implants. But I plan on letting my body be my guide as I resume normal activities.

I don't have an answer for you but Knotreel mentioned another forum. You can probably get you answer there. The location for that site is franktalk.org That site deals specifically with ED and treatments including implants.

Thanks Ron and Cajun for your respective response to my post. I will look up the Frank talk forum website regarding my situation.

To Ron, as I stated before, I am pleased with the AMS 700 LGX implant. It does increase penile length and girth as I experienced. I had my implant in November last year. Spent one night in the hospital and followed the recovery procedures or instructions at home. I felt much better each week. For the first few days, try to take a quick walk around the house or the hall way for circulation. Write down any concerns you have to discuss with your doctor during your follow up visits.

I experienced more pain with this surgery than the surgery for my
prostate cancer. But the pain went away in the first few days. I had problem with inflating and deflating the pump. It was very painful the first time the doctor inflated the pump, but in my second visit, I felt no pain in inflating the pump. Try doing it yourself until you are confortable with it before sex.

You will be fine.

Take care and thanks again to you and Cajun.

I recently had to replace my PPI due to a pump failure. The new PPI is a LGx. When cycled, my penis points downward rather than away from my body. Has anyone else experienced this? smhair

So, you are saying the  old unit pointed up or out and the new one points down? Mine points straight out and can easily bent to pointing up as I believe most people report post IPP. I don't think it has anything to do with the brand, AMS or Coloplast. A lot of people say their doctors tell them that while healing, keep it pointed up. What may have happened in your case is the rear tip extenders may not be in their proper place or maybe the extenders have come unsnapped from the main inflatable part? this is just a guess on my part. If it were me I would go back to the doctor who did the implant and see in anything is amiss. In the case of the extenders becoming un fastened, I think this could be put right in his office.
