OK. It's been 4 days. Pad and leak free. Not even a drip. It takes a pretty good squeeze to activate the cuff. About 5 to 10 seconds to empty. Not much drippage, and the cuff closes quickly. Waiting...
Activation for me today. So quick, and such a relief to know the system is working as planned. I had a busy day, and stayed completely dry. Pump works great, and it closes pretty quick. I started the...
Activation day. My doc did the pump fill and quick squeeze to get things going. I gave the pump a squeeze, and he made sure I gave it enough. I could feel the cuff open. That was it. I worn a really...
As you are now 3 days post surgery, I hope you are healing up well. I am just about 4 weeks out and looking forward to activation in two days. I still remember what it was like early on. You can read...

Almost a week since surgery. I stopped taking Tylenol yesterday, and I never did use the OxyContin. All is well except for the difficulty with urination. No leakage at all, which I expected after the...
Thanks Jasperx10 for the suggestion. Hard to believe a person can keep eating for several days with no output. My straining issue is improving. I can get better results by not trying to force it....
Three days post op on the AUS. More sore than pain. Taking Tylenol, Cypro, and stool softener. Waiting for a bowel movement. Some of the scrotum swelling is going down, and the pump is easy to find....
I joined the AUS AMS 800 club after surgery on September 4th. After having my prostate removed for a full year, the leakage never really improved. My Urologist recommended the AUS, and I took the...
Thank you VinceinMt for your input. Just the info I was looking for. I had my prostate removed last Aug. 20th, 2018. Did well with the surgery, but really hated the 10 day using the catheter. I am...
