Titan Pump

[Magicmike]

I'm having surgery in about 3 weeks. My biggest concern is that my Doctor starts you inflating day 3. From what I read the Titan deflate valve is difficult to find. I will be 1500 miles away when I start cycling. What happens if I cant deflate. Ant Titan users advice needed

Each doctor has his own protocol. But it is very strange begin cycling day 3. In my case, I left the OR 80% inflated, and was keeping like that until day 4. That day I was deflated by doctor to 30%, and it was very difficult to me because of the swelling (which caused much pain). 3 days later, with much pain too, I was deflated completely, and I needed 5 weeks more to begin cycling.

3 days seem very early to begin with cycling.

More than that. You will not be able to inflate or deflate until your doctor instruct you how to do it. And if you are going to be 1500 miles away on day 3, that leaves 2 days for that purpose. Again, I cannot imagine by no means how is he going to instruct you to do that. First days, swelling ussualy doesn't let you live.

I would ask him again. Inform him about your concerns.
