Re: Surgery finished, now recovery help!
Ok, for those that are interested in my RECOVERY had a follow up today at my 4 week post op. Dr. said he wanted again to cycle it again today but couldn't because of some residual swelling around the release valve. He didn't want to cycle me and not be able to deflate so now I have to wait another w...

Olivero66,
That doesn't really help me now does it? Im trying to keep a positive outlook, not regress and think about the past.

Re: Titan 30-Days in w/ Buckling - Normal?
Hi Remlik 66,
Like you I am 4 weeks post op today and have a follow up with my surgeon. I have found the areas that are sensitive respond well to light massage. Maybe some type of adhesion post surgical. Im not quite sure if this is true or not but it works for me.

Re: Surgery Today Proud owner of my AMS 700 LGX
Congrats Zac! I had a Titan Coloplast OTR implanted on 9/11 and am going in for my 4 week follow up in two days. Best of luck! Just make sure to rest for the first week as much as possible, everyone's recovery is markedly different. Sounds like you are doing awesome!

Sorry to hear about your troubles. On 09/11/2014 I had a coloplast titan otr 3cm extension with 17cm. I also have had some pain in the tip of my right cylinder but last night I actually just lightly did some massage on it and low and behold it reduced in pain and frequency a lot! I have been told no...

Re: Surgery finished, now recovery help!
A little setback last week. When the dermabond came off and I had some really dark blood draining from two sites. Not large enough to warrant stitches. A little disappointed but it really made my balls feel better as it drained. That was a week ago and I can now really make out the parts of the pump...
