Take a nice warm bath ... while there take the time to identify the pumpball and the deflate button. See above image as that is a exact model of what you have now. I too had the scrotal incision and Ibprofin really helped with the swelling and discomfort. Give your body time to heal ... locating the deflate button is the hardest part at first.

Keep us posted on your progress ...

I was three weeks out when I saw my uro (I had my surgery on August 27) --- he wanted me to come in after six weeks, but I was hospitalized with an unrelated rapid heart rate and wanted to check in to see if there were any connections. Like you, I was surprised when the uro pumped me up without any warning. Like you, I could have used some warning in advance; there might have been an advantage to him doing it without warning, as I then decided it wasn't as much of a big deal as I was making it out to be in my head at the time. Since then, I've been pumping up every day and experimenting with seeing how to expand capacity as much as I can ---- mostly to make sure I'm dealing with scar tissue. I've never been that concerned about size, but since I've got this new toy, I'm willing to see how far it will go...

good luck on your ongoing healing!

Did you lose a lot of size, length, girth?

If you have the ONE TOUCH RELEASE TITAN implant the release is not a button ....it's the release BARS at the top of each side of the implant...ask your euro about it.....MUCH easier than the BUTTON. Took me a few days to get that straight...now it's easy and the implant is really doing a GREAT job for me and my wife!!! The secret is PRACTICE and lots of it!!! :D

The pump is easy to find, the release valve is the hard one to locate. I am 10 weeks post surgery and I have just found all the "controls"....and I have just had my first sexual bonding with my wife in the last more than 16 months...AND IT WAS GREAT>>>EARTH MOVING!!! Don't give up...keep working on it....the positive results are worth ALL of the effort that you put into it!!! :D
