Things recovered gradually for 6 months before I had usable erections without Levitra....
I didn't use pain killers after day 5 (post-op). The rear-end pain wasn't sharp...it was dull and annoying, leaving me with the feeling that things were still healing inside. I felt no pain there...
I had pain in the rear (rectal area), to the extent I used a "donut" for a month or so when seated. I even modified a seat pad for my car (cut a hole in it) so I would not agitate the area while...
2-3 times a night for me now. It was 1 time before my sugery. I must admit that I am a beer drinker, and consume it right up till bedtime. If I abstain after 7:00, I get up 1 time at night Vs none...
My doctor said it was OK for me to do whatever I was comfortable with. He was pleased to hear that by day 5 post-surgery I was walking 4 miles a day. I continued to do so until day 30, at which time...
"Will I be able to sit for a 90 minute ride"? I rode 100 miles home 24 hours after surgery. I found it easiest to sit with the seat-back partially (not fully) reclined. As mentioned above, pain meds...

No symptoms whatsoever...
1)My surgery was also on a Tuesday. My first BM was on Saturday morning, day 4, just as my surgeon had predicted (he said 3-5 days). I took stool softeners daily and did not have to force it....
My doc told me the first BM would be 3-5 days post-surgery...it was day 4 for me. Don't try to force it!! Walk, drink plenty of fluids and take the stool softeners. You'll be fine....

I lost 8 pounds before surgery due to anxiety, then lost another 4 pounds in the days immediately following the procedure. I'm now 6 weeks post-surgery and I'm still down 8 pounds from my...
Like you, I couldn't resist a ride last week (day 20 post-surgery). I headed for our local mountains (San Diego area), but only made it about 25 miles before I turned around and headed for the beach...
Congratulations Bob, it sounds like you are off to a GREAT start!...
