Day 2 since surgery: Well things are going well. Still no pain and I have not taken any additional pain meds since the night of surgery and those were precautionary. I did use the toilet today a couple times so far. The Miralax has worked. I didn’t want to have to strain. I still got the mummy dress...

Hey rjdoan. They didn’t send one home but I sent the wife after one!! Did the trick. I knew about them but didn’t even think about it. Thanks for the help.

Well 22 hours after surgery and everything is going great. My reservoir is showing a little on the right side. I took one pain pill before the long ride home and one at 1am. I have not had any pain but did those as precaution. The mummy is a problem. Lol. I am having to get on my knees to piss in th...

I totally agree...get away from the Genesis pump as fast as you can. I would have the doctor totally replace everything new including the reservoir.

Biker You do usually go up in size. I started with an 18 in 2013, 20 in 2017 & 22 in 2020. My revisions went better than the original. My last one went great. I think I took two pain pills just as precaution. One was for the five hour ride home. Depends on the age of implant. I had revision in 2...
