Good luck! Stay horizontal as much as possible the first couple days. I used two bags of frozen peas at a time (one under and one over) for several days. I also used an inflatable donut (Walgreens - $10) to sit on for the first couple weeks.

Good luck with Dr. Kramer tomorrow! I'll probably be about a month behind you on the repositioning. Mine just won't drop down. I don't know whether the tubes are too short or it just got tangled or adhered to something in the scrotum. If you get a chance, ask Dr. Kramer if he just put you in a new p...

I commented to second and third the suggestion of VED therapy. I guess everyone reacts differently. The VED was a miserable experience for me. If not aroused, I was trying stretch out a limp dick by vacuum. Even when aroused, the tension rings were a definite downer. My wife said she didn't like th...

The pump really sticks out of the bottom of my scrotum, much more than expected, I don't understand why there are so many problems with the Coloplast pump. It seems like it should be the easiest part of the procedure. The pump comes already preinstalled. Of course, I'm not a Doctor, but it would se...

[quote="ThePlumber1964"]Actually, it is the opposite. The concave in facing back and the convex forward. So, I place the index finger on the concave, and use my thumb to press the deflation button. I would guess it depends on which cylinder the Dr. puts on which side when he does the surge...

Actually, I love the fact that the orientation of my pump is just like yours. It is easier for me to apply pressure with my fingers that way, as opposed to have my hand twisted the other way around. Thinking that the human anatomy physics have more torque that way, I think... I'm assuming you must ...

It is stiff at first it will soften up the more you use it. You could still have some swelling. May try to ice the try the valve. I know at my 8 week check dr said I still had some fluid around the pump OK, I finally got it to pump up. Now I can't deflate the thing. My wife and I just spent 2 hours...

I was activated at 6-weeks post-op (3 days ago.) I can pump it up but can't deflate. The valve is very high and hard to get a grasp on both sides at the same time. When I try to squeeze the valve, it hurts. I tough it out but can't seem to do whatever is required (?) to make it deflate. I'm going t...
