Can someone help me about life after AUS 800 implant?

So far, so good after Monday's surgery. Minor discomfort and lots of swelling.
A quick follow up question, Will the activation pump settle in after a period of time and generally stay in place after a period of time or will it be necessary to "search" for it each time.
I see why the activation is delayed, with the swellling and tubes/pump.
Thank you

Good morning. It took my body about 1 month before everything settled into its new home. My first AUS , the surgeon did not leave a lot of extra tubing. I had to pull and search for it. It did fail and had to be removed. I found a different surgeon who specializes in radiation caused problems. He left a lot of tubing on my second AUS. It is easy to grab. You will get better at one handed squeezing. Mine doesn't take much to get it flowing and very seldom do I need to do another squeeze. Everything will move around as you move around but will settle in and you will hardly notice it. Yay for a great surgery. Be careful lifting and sitting on hard surfaces. I tore my incision twice but did not take long to heal up. I can feel my cuff between my legs. Take it slow for a while. Good luck.
