The things I want to know are
How visable is the bulk of the pump I'm not waif like but nor am I overweight - does the pump stick out like a sore thumb (anyone know of any photo's available of one implanted undre the skin)? Does it show under clothing?
Mine is visible and about the size of a hockey puck maybe just a bit smaller. It is not noticeable under my shirts at all. I do wear a husky type shirt instead of the tailored shirts I used to wear.

Is there an issue of needing to be careful that the pum doesn't get knocked about in sport or sex or simply when getting dressed? I'm pretty active and having a pump that one needs to be caeful about would be a real pain
I had problem with the first pump I received it worked its way out of my body in about 3 months. The surgeon placed to close to the outside layer of my skin. Now don’t get me wrong this was a fluke and very rare occurrence just what you to be aware of some of the unlucky possibilities. As far as sex and sports I am a T9/6 and they put the pump right on my line so I can not feel the bottom of the pump but can feel the top. I know I hear you saying bull shit but true they could not have done this if they had tried. Anyway when the pump gets hit I do feel a slight sting not enough to bring me down, just enough to let me know it is there.

What are the downsides on a purely day to day basis or is it really a fit and forget item?
Nothing, it is truly a God send in my case. My spasms were so bad before I could not stay in my chair. My legs would jerk at times and flip me over backwards; I broke my leg not even knowing it, and had to stay in bed most of the day. Now I live a better life.
