Well, it's done. The only pain right now is when you pee and the throat from the tube inserted. I am home not too much swelling. Lol, the wife ready to take a test ride.
Thanks guys for the support.

Everything is going good. I was up all through the night peeing (burned when you go). Sore throat is gone. I am little sore, no swelling just a little bruising from the surgery. I kept getting an erections last night also. No, blood at the incision site. LOL! I gave the pump a squeeze last night also, it kept slipping out of my hand. One tip, I used an alcohol pad to clean my penis everyday to make sure it was clean. I was worried about getting an infection. I pumped the morning before surgery cleaned up with the alcohol pad after my shower. You will be amazed of the dirty on your penis. I am doing good, I am going to ice things down. I have a follow up in 2 weeks.

Congrats on the big step! I wish you a speedy recovery. Azo makes an over-the-counter urinary analgesic that should help with the pain from the catheter if it's still bothering you.

Thanks guys! I got the AMS 700 LGX. Another tip cut your finger nails when attempting to squeeze your pump.

I started at 11AM yesterday with paperwork again and they started my surgery a little after 1PM and I was done right before 4PM. I was on my way home about 5PM.

I am peeing without the burning. I am dripping a little so I hope this will stop on it's on. I had to take metamucil to use the bathroom. I couldn't take wearing the support strap too tight and too much pressure on the head because it sticks up under the band.

Day 4, I had a hard time getting comfortable last night. I am dealing with the tightness of the support strap. My shaft is sore from trying to keep it upright.
