There has been a lot of discussion about the mechinical reliability of the AMS 700 LGX on the forums. This is a copy of emails between Todd Doran and myself.

Twice a day almost every day for the first 18 months I inflated my IPP and held it for at least 5 minutes. Today at 27 months post op I still inflate it almost daily.
There is some discussion that I am decreasing the life of my LGX. I believe Dr. Eid's site says a maximum of 3 times a week. Is that true? It works so well the way I do it.
Thanks for the advice, you have always been right on with me and I appreciate that.

Dr. Milam agreed with me citing same reference. Keep doing what you're doing. Good luck trying to wear the device out from a mechanical reliability standpoint.

I have a question about how the implant feels. I am using Caverject and like the feeling of pressure and fullness it causes in my penis. I am considering implant surgery and wonder if a similar feeling is created in the penis caused by the pressure of the fluid, rather than the pressure of the blood.
