It is important to make sure that your genital/urinary/pelvic/ areas have recovered fully before you seriously start using a pump. I was advised to wait for three months at least. Prostatectomy is a serious surgery as you know.
Initially for rehabilitation purpose a cheap sex-shop pump, like Bathmate, would be fine. Following my prostatectomy, 14 years ago, I have been using pumps for creating erections because of ED. Hopefully you will regain your sexual function in due course. Otherwise if you need it, Somaerect may be available on prescription from your GP. I strongly advise not to purchase Vacurect which does not have an emergency vacuum release button, also it is difficult to use in my opinion.
