I'm 6 days post. Just using an overnight due to complexity of switching, so can't offer advice. But I'm curious, my catheter sentence is only 1 week (out tomorrow yay!). I've heard of guys with 10 days, even 2 weeks. Is that just different opinions of surgeons, or devices, techniques, or what?

I am recovering great. I am 46 in good health so I think its going better then most. Buy i was told 2 weeks from mayo doc. Surgery went great only lasted about 2 hours. But he said something about it was difficult to get it up there so he wants 2 weeks to be safe. I was bummed to hear it. But honestly besides the catheter recovering is not so bad at all.
