How many weeks after surgery before you started cycling the implant?

Re: when did you start pumping?
I pumped the day after surgery. Started cycling one week after. I cycle every day at least twice a day.
Re: when did you start pumping?
My doctor was a bit different than most of the others. He inflated me for the first time at 10 days post-op. Then I cycled it as much as I could from that point. I reached twice a day within a few days and have been inflating AT LEAST twice a day since, to the MAX! That is recommended for at least the first 18 months. By the way, ya gotta WORK IT too, to break it in and keep the scar tissue from forming.

Re: when did you start pumping?
I started pumping just a little after my 2-3week follow up and had been getting nearly full inflations for several weeks before my 6 weeks "activation". I think the ablitly ( and interest) to start pumping, at least in my case, had a lot to do with the scrotal swelling. I had plenty due me being inplanted by the scrotal method. I also had an AUS implanted at the same time which surely caused more swelling. I think if I had less swelling I might have started earlier but not sure about full inflations in the first couple of weeks.
