Day 12 after surgery and doing ok still take pain medication but getting much better. I left outpatient surgery with catheter to be removed by me at home 24 hours afterwards. Penis was wrapped up all the way to the end , nothing visible except catheter tube. When catheter was removed my myself with wife’s help wore regular underwear with pad and jockstrap over underwear. This was most comfortable for me. My doctor does not point penis up just let it hang where it wants also he does not inflate penis even though I thought he did as I asked at 8 day checkup because I am larger diameter and constant longer flasid state than before surgery. He called it woody edema. I am also very firm in this flasid state . All of this is a pleasant surprise to me. At 6 weeks I go by to doctors for activation training.
Power lift chair is of great help to me. Only able to sleep on back and I am a side sleeper. Can only sit in regular chair very short time, recliner leaning back is most comfortable. After my prostate surgery, advance xp sling surgery and now ipp surgery I am a slower less pain tolerant than most others it appears.
I thought this ipp surgery was going to be much worse than the sling surgery but not the case at all for me close to same discomfort. Happy I got this implant but October 1st sure seems like a long time from now( activation day).
I once again had the bad allergic skin reaction to the surgery prep, this is painful on its own, but it is getting better.
If this seems a negative report I am sorry it is much better or easier recovery that I expected.

I tried to find another man I know in my area that got a implant and could not, only one that was scheduled for surgery then he canceled, he is wanting to know how mine goes I will share information with him. It is a little weird to tell close family member, mother brother sister about this surgery. I did though as we are close family and live next door to each other. To me it is no different than a woman having to get a breast implant after having breast cancer.
I am looking forward to a healthy and enjoyable future.
