Good luck! You made the decision, so the rest now is a piece of cake.
For me, it was 2 weeks of pain, bruising and swelling that slowly went away -- for the most part by week 3. Tomorrow marks 5 weeks post-op, and activation day is Wednesday. Then I can play with my new toy! You'll get there, too. Just take it easy for a week or 2 with lots of ice and rest. Listen to your doctor's instructions!

ED worsened over 25 years, likely VL. Went through pills and injections, and results faded over time. Implant AMS 700CX, 21 cm, no RTE, on 6/3/24.

Good luck, you are lucky, I am also on monjuro and was required to go 48 hrs on clear liquids, not even Jell-O, that was 2 wks ago, good luck and my only advice is to ice, ice, ice. Keep us updated and fill out your signature

Day 2 - woke up several times last night with some pain. I think I may have grazed it while sleeping. Instead of being bandaged pointing out he has in pressed up towards my abdomen and compressed. Told me to take off this afternoon and remove the catheter.

Re: Start of my journey
My key fob demo is misleading... much softer than the real thing! I'm dreading having to pump for the first time.

Yes, Pumping (Cycling) - Inflate / Deflate was my worst part and still is (5 months) later my worst part, of the entire process. The operation, the recovery, the pain, the healing, was all a 8 - 10. But this pump thing....all that was a 1 - 2. Personally, I think I need a new pump. The pump is hard as hell. The release button.....not sure if it works.....Have to squeeze the penis very hard to deflate, while pressing that little release button. Either I have not seen the correct videos, of had the proprer training. Good luck.
