I was released to cycle at 4 weeks, and deflation was a pain-free celebration day. I could feel all parts of my pump from the beginning, and could easily identify the deflation button from the moment I took the wraps off. I just moved the pump over to where I wasn't pushing on my healing incision, pressed the button and felt the MS pump vibrate, indicating fluid was going back to the reservoir. I never have had any pain deflating, and after 60 minutes at max inflation I welcome deflation like a cool summer breeze.
Ditto.
You and me put up with the indignity of a 4 (you) and 6 (me) week chub, but pain-free inflation seems to be one side benefit of waiting so long. Most of these painful deflations seem to happen at 2-3 weeks. I’m pretty sure if i’d deflated then it would have been a proper “yikes!” moment.
OP. ….Whatever you experience, it’ll pass and it’ll be worth it. I know it feels like a journey into the unknown at this point. So, consider it an adventure of sorts.
