i am 4 weeks post-op, still 75% inflated, scheduled for activation dec 13.
yesterday i noticed a new discomfort and a burning feeling at the bottom of the reservoir in my abdomen. i was a little more active than usual yesterday. today, when up and moving around, it is a bit worse.
I am concerned that the reservoir is leaking. if so, i doubt they would do anything about it until my appt on the 13th.
has anyone experienced anything similar, and does anyone have a closeup pic of the reservoir connection for the coloplast?

I'm a year post implant but still get pain when I stretch or over work the muscles in the reservoir area. I suspect you may be feeling the same thing. But only your doctor can tell you for sure. Good luck and good healing.

It's kind of hard to say but it is still very early. I'm pretty sure your doctor is going to tell you to just take it easy and give it time to heal.

thanks for the reassurance, guys. if anyone finds a closeup pic of the reservoir connection i'd like to see it.
