Do you mean how long was the appointment, or how much time did the activation take, or something else? I was scheduled for a 20 minute appointment and the actual activation (inflate, deflate) took about 10 minutes.

I think you'll get lots of different answers. It was about 12 weeks for me; others have reported less time, and still others more time. It depends on how your healing goes.

Membrillo, did your Dr offer you either the AMS or the Titan ? Just curious why you went with the Titian

My doctor likes more the titan. He told me that is better than AMS. Its made with a better material and other things he told me that i dont remember. He says that i would not lose any length. He knows that im really concerned about that. I go with the titan because he prefers it

I'm not sure what you mean by "how many time"
My actual appointment took less than 10 minutes. I had already located the release button before the appointment.
The doctor told me that was the part that gave most people a problem.
The time between surgery and activation was supposed to be 6 weeks.
It was 8 weeks because of scheduling issues on my part.
BTW Membrillo, my doctor told me I would loose some length.
He lied, I've got all of it back.
Actually, I think he just tries to prepare his patients ahead of time so there isn't any downside surprises.

I have the Titan OTR and I was activated end of the third week. I am a fast healer and always have been.

I heard that some of the high volume Drs are on the Coloplast payroll, thus they have a incentive to make more money $$$$ by installing them.
So who's your Doctor?
Another rumor on the interwebs - IIRC, Dr. Kramer in particular is not on anybody's "payroll" because of his position as a faculty member at the U of MD.
