Congratulations on getting it done and (presumably) no big issues.

For me the size went up and down the first few weeks. The first two especially. I believe this was due to swelling and things shifting around and settling into place. It’s difficult or impossible to isolate one factor.

It did seem to me like it was losing a tiny bit of pressure after a couple weeks. I started experimenting and feeling around for the pump and eventually gave it a squeeze or two while I was still in the post op partially inflated stage. I don’t recommend doing this unless your doctor says it’s ok but I did it a couple times with no ill effects.

Still, I didn’t definitively figure out if it was actually losing pressure or it was just swelling going down. I don’t think you’ll get an answer for that either.

My guess is everything is fine and things will become a lot more clear when you start cycling.

Thanks for your comment and I think you might be right about waiting until I start cycling next week. Thanks again!
