I would be happy to leave it to the surgeon to have a hands-on diagnosis except that the consultation is due via telehealth phone call three weeks post op (which seems earlier than many). Perhaps it's better to book a flight instead.
I had post op checks at 2 weeks, 6 weeks (activation); and have a further one scheduled at 4 months. I'm grateful to have my medical team close by, about 15 minutes drive. It's been comforting to have them check things in person, but I've also been able to email photos of visible issues like stitches, swelling etc. Pump is a bit more difficult to assess. I would probably book a flight if it was me.
I guess it depends on how game you are

. Actually I wouldn't pump it, you'd probably get arrested

I reckon that there's a lot of body shaming of male genitals, but females wear the most revealing tops and tights/leggings, even to the extent of visible camel toe.
Now that I'm older young women dressed like that often give me a smile if I make eye contact.
I'd like to think it's now because of the bulge in my pants, but they probably figure that I'm harmless
