First sever months it was difficult to get a full deflate. As tubes break in and get softer it’s much easier to get as deflated as I want. Usually stop before totally flat as it feels and looks very flat. So either pump a few times or not totally deflate to maintain a natural feeling and appearance...

I have actually been wondering if I'm doing something wrong. I hold the Titan buttons the entire time I'm deflating and I pretty much squeeze it as hard as I can. it is like two bars one on either side of the tubes --- I cannot understand how this opens a pathway how does valve works confuses me, I...

I got left inflated until my 5 1/2 week follow up, and that still hurt like hell. At that point doc told me to go "use it". Never knew about cycling until I found FT at 5 months post. 5 1/2 weeks - wow! I was very grateful to have it go down a week post-op. It was sore and I kept banging ...

My doctor told me not to touch it until I was in his office for a follow up 6 weeks later. I bet you are pretty tender after 11 days? interesting how different surgeons have such different protocols. For me it was home from the hospital at about 70-80% inflated for the first week, then started cycl...

good to know - thanks! How do you decide when to stop deflating, or that you've deflated as much as you can?

Well I just hold the button until it's deflated. As to how much you can deflate, I can't get it completely flaccid but close enough to not show a big bulge. Personally I like it that way -- having been a grower, I love being a shower now :) thanks - holding the button works for me, but this seems a...

this must be a FAQ, but couldn't find a prior post - maybe not searching correctly. New implant, my first, about 11 days ago, Coloplast Titan with Touch pump. Dr. has me cycling a minimum of twice daily. Inflating is fine, the pump is easy to grasp and the upper limit of erect is clear. Deflating mo...

ugh - 20 days?! day 8 here, I'm down to 1 codeine pill per day, split into two doses. But 3 more weeks will take a refill.

yep... same.

Tender for a long time after my implant, especially the head. good suggestions regarding the sock and the aspercreme, thanks. What was "a long time" for you. I'm now 8 days post and still too sore to get much of anything done. Trying to get off the codeine, but if it's going to be sore fo...
