Doc had told me on day of surgery to keep pulling the pump down. Where is its final resting place? In between the 2 testicles? Lower? in the back? Like I said, I cant even feel the pump itself now, just kind of mushing things around down there. When it finally does come loose from the left testicle, will you "know" it? Still concerned about the swelling. Talk to Doc and he said, everybodys different. Some people come back for their 4 week activation and have to be sent home because the swelling is still too much. My activation was initially set for 6 weeks. Thank GOD
My advice is to somehow combine patience with some consistent exploration and gently pulling. Easier said than done, I know that much firsthand. But you'll get there.
My sac was always smallish and just not a lot of extra room in there. Post-implant, I didn't know what the hell was going on for weeks...entire sac seemed like a big congealed lump of god knows what. I had no post-op pain but I did have significant edema/swelling in my sac...and while I did not have any pain, it was certainly tender and very uncomfortable to fish around my sac trying to get my bearings.
You don't want any adhesions to form in there. So in my opinion it's a balance of withstanding the mental and physical discomfort of sorting through your balls and the pump and just daily continuing to get more familiar with orientation and
gently moving things around. You just have to do it. Get familiar. Push it a little. Rest. Repeat.
In my post-op period, the first 2-4 weeks after, my surgeon 2x palpated and essentially expressed out of my sac a lot of the accumulated edema. Pretty unpleasant experience, not going to pretend otherwise, because "expressed" in this case really meant "used two hands to physically flatten my sac in order to smash the edema out to be reabsorbed elsewhere". Should have prepared with a few shots of bourbon prior.
But 2 weeks later I was inflating on my own and slowly learning how to deflate (although that came with its own clown show of newbie errors on my part for a while, too).
In the end, my pump apparatus kind of found its final resting place right dead center between my nuts I would say around weeks 5, 6, 7, somewhere in there. It was probably there the whole time more or less, I just couldn't discern what was what.
Keep at it. Fun ass times ahead for you...
