Taking A Break
Has anyone taken a break from cycling even for a day or so during the first 3 weeks?

My surgeon won't even let me do anything for the first 6 weeks!!! And, with the issues discussed here about the difficulty with the Titan pump operation, I'm not going to risk doing something stupid and locking the damn thing up.
I'm going to follow his recommendation. Let the conversation continue!

Edd-I gotta tell you. I'm jealous. My surgeon (Eid) tells his patients to start the 4th day after surgery. IF I'm understanding the whole process correctly.

Re: Taking A Break
From what I read and here the most common thinking now seems to be early and frequent cycling allows as much size to be regained as possible. Without it, encapsulation around the cylinders can set in limiting their ability to expand.

Re: Taking A Break
I don't think thats true at all. I was not allowed to cycle at all for 6 weeks. I then started cycling and was free to do whatever. I've been cycling twice a day, for about 30 minutes at a time. I have NO encapsulation and no other issues. I am finding it easier and easier as each week goes by to get more pumps in. I don't know what my final size will be, but I function just fine right now.
