Didn’t know that, Peter…6weeks to heal before you can use it? I just assumed you were good to go after the procedure.
Hang in there, mate, better - and drier - days ahead…

They have to wait for the urethra to heal from the surgery before it's activated.
So I get out of there no better than when I went in.
Still on multiple pads every day until I go back to the urologist to activate the device & get shown how to use it,

Yes, mine was just activated after a 6 week wait and it’s really great. No significant issues so far and function is very close to normal.

Hang in there. It’s something to look look forward to!
