Sorry, forgot to mention. I WAS NOT PUMPED AFTER SURGERY.
No worries, guys, balls have not shrunk back to point that I can feel valves on both sides.
Good suggestion to just pump to feel the vibration:)

But you were pumped DURING surgery and probably were left pumped about two thirds until around the time you came out of anesthesia. That is done to help limit bleeding (so my doctor and several doctors in videos have stated).

My doctor had me pumped to 60% until the next morning when he came into my room and deflated me. I had no idea and when I asked what he was doing, that's when he told me.

No,I was definitely not pumped. Confirmed with my Dr. He said he did not pump me because of my history infection.
Besides, I still vividly remember my 1st surgery where I was left pumped for 3 weeks! Did not find FT at the time, was not told I was pumped, and was going crazy by the 3rd week.
When he finally deflated me, it was a big relief. It was getting painful. I actually sighed when he deflated me. Don't know what happened that the infection appeared afterwards, but hey, I am moving on here.

Hehehe..re-read your post. Its too early to actually read FT, lol. Yeah, pretty sure i was pumped during surgery.

Received and replied.
How can I find out what exactly what was installed in me?
Will the Dr. know? Or should I request that info from clinic?

Surprised the doctor didn't tell you or at least give you the Coloplast patient package (you got the keychain model though). Since the doctor was the last person to have direct contact with the implant before it was installed, he/she would be the person to ask. If you had a Coloplast liaison in the room during surgery, Coloplast may also have a record of what you received as well.

Don't know about your surgery, but once I got in the room, maybe 5 min. tops, I was out! So have no idea who was there except the anesthetist, scrub nurse, and assistant nurse (Dr.spoke to me earlier, so he don't count).

I'm referring to AFTER your surgery, once you got to the hospital room or recovery, not the O.R.

I wasn't conscious more than a minute after the anesthesiologist gave me the injection in my IV. Just long enough to help them move me from the hospital bed to the surgery table and I vaguely remember something about placing my legs in a frog-leg position but I may be remembering one of the numerous videos I've seen since then, or one of the procedures prior (urethral flexible cystoscope, prostate ultrasound, UroLift procedure, etc).

Anyway, when you got the keychain model, you should have also received your patient documentation. in my case it came with my wallet card with the product labels attached for each piece of the implant that was installed. PUMP, CYLINDERS, RESERVOIR.

Hehehe...all mine said was I got a Titan pump. No details.
One of the cards in packet said there was metal in Implant (guess I better remember this detail if I go in for an MRI in the future) .
If I was told anything, definitely not by the Dr., I was too doped up to remember. All I remember in recovery is trying to throw up.

Tonight, something just occurred to me that did not happen with the 1st or 2nd surgery. This time around, whenever I piss, peeing actually feels 'natural', except when starting.
For the longest time, I remember pissing with the 1st implant I could not use, and the feeling felt 'mechanical' for the whole duration. I actually felt the urine go through the tubes. This went on, even with the malleable.
This time around, nada. I think this is a bigly improvement! It has only been 3 weeks!
Took an allergy pill because my balls feel like maggots are crawling around it. Had to take it when I was taking the sulfur medicine, so I think I balls are just reacting to being cut again
