FRUSTRATED! Need help..........

I am now 5 days post-op. My wife and I have been working feverishly since day 3 post-op, trying to get the Coloplast Titan to inflate/deflate, as my surgeon's office has stressed the importance of inflating/deflating ASAP. I'm so frustrated, as I am totally committed to doing my part to insure an optimal result. Any words of advice, guys?

First off, everyone heals differently. Be patient. Hang in there. What’s stopping you from cycling?
Can you feel the pump and release ?

Did you have a consultation with Dr Eid on day 3? Was he able to inflate/deflate?

No Warren. No day 3 consultation with Dr Eid. Was only told to make an appointment for removal of stitches in two weeks.

ED, can't seem to find the pump and release. I thought I was able to on first couple of tries. I think I might have even deflated somewhat. Now, it just feels like a mini third ball.

Did he give you a Titan or AMS?

Here is my advice: First, don't panic. Most of us here were activated 3 weeks post op and beyond. Before that, the scrotum is so swollen that is very difficult to figure out the pieces inside. Talk to Dr. Eid's office in the morning and try to find someone local who could assist you (a patient, a local urologist, etc.).

Hang in there my friend. You'll be ok

3 days post-op??? Way too early. My surgeon hat told me to fully inflate after six weeks. Well, I didn’t listen to him and started around week 4. Everything is fine, I didn’t lose anything, my dick is a bit over 16,5 cm.

Give it time, soon you will be allowed to have a hot bath, then you should be able to grab the pump.

Definitely chill man. I had a little trial at 2 weeks....just a bit up and a bit down ....very conservative. It wasn't until week 6 that my doctor literally popped my cherry!
At that point the pump/release was very difficult to locate due to swelling and this is likely what is hampering you.
Are you sure he said 3 days?......Anaesthetics play with your mind a bit.....it seems way too early.
Anyway, whatever you are feeling now will fade into distant memory as the days, weeks and months roll by and you are able to put your implant to work.
Don't worry, the cycling really kicks in after about week 8. All will be fine.
