To the original question.
I agree the worst part of it was wearing the catheter overnight, but that is standard procedure and you can't get around that. When Dr. Knoll did my revision, they took the catheter out after the surgery and wouldn't let me leave the hospital until I could pee and I couldn't. So a semi-attractive young nurse came in and inserted the catheter while I was conscious. Yikes. Dr. Kramer left it in overnight and I took the Oxycodone to help with the pain of the catheter.
I had virtually, possibly literally, no swelling because he is such a good surgeon. The ice helped. I had normal discomfort for a few weeks and wore loose fitting athletic pants until activation time. But, I would say all in all my pain was tolerable. And I do agree that it will vary from one individual to another. You will certainly have the minimal amount of pain possible for you by going with Kramer.
And your scrotum won't swell up like a grapefruit!! Not there it won't.
