All this talk about RTEs. My 5.5 in RTEs puts my pump at the very bottom of my but sack. Easy to reach, pump and deflate. I couldn't be happier.

I go in tomorrow for post-op checkup and activation. Since all my swelling and bruising had gone, I celebrated the 4th of July by hitting my deflate button. It felt great to relieve the pressure. Since then, I have pumped up and deflated several times. Maybe Kramer won't be too pissed that I started early.

Ok, that's where mine is. Wearing tight jeans today, and it hasn't bothered me.

Wow, all you guys getting activated in 4 weeks. I wonder why my doctor waits so long. I'm not going to question him, he did a pretty good job. I guess he has his reasons.

My pump is center just behind the boys but basically all 3 lined up in a row. Like i said before, i have a couple stitches tacking it in place. The stitches make it pull. I have not been formally activated yet although i do experiment with pump & deflate button. I am just over six weeks & have my dr appointment on 7/12. So that is for follow up/activation. I m gonna ask if he can see the stitch for the pump to cut it. Its in place now but still has not dissolved. So in answer to your questions. It doesnt bother except for the damn stitch. Also, i wont be activated until after 6 weeks. Im only like two weeks ahead of you but i think two weeks does make a difference. Getting better every day.

Ok, so you are getting activated after 6 weeks too. It will be 6 weeks and 4 day's for me when I get activated on 7/25. I haven't messed with the pump yet, although I can feel the bulb and the button. Can you feel the tubes coming from the pump? My pump moves around, as I have a lot of room in there. Good to hear that you're doing good Bandit.

Yeah. Doing really well Ed. Cant wait to be released for sex. Not fearful but i think that it may be a little sore at first but im so ready. It will be so nice to be spontaneous to just make love to my wife. We need this back in our lives. Really looking forward to moving on. Like i said the only difficulty i have is the stitch holding the pump ! Seems like your doing well too. We appear to be on similar paths.

I assume you meant to say "nut sack." Or maybe not! :lol:
