Successful sling operation... so far

Hi,
Just a note to the guys who still have the drips. My boyfriend had surgery with Dr. Samadi 4 years ago. All is well except for some stubborn drips. No issues caused the drips, just muscle weakness that did not improve over time. After going back and forth for a while he bit the bullet and had a sling put in this past week. Since the removal of the cath (which he did himself), he is completely dry. Pretty amazing actually. After looking into local guys (we are in NJ) we decided to move forward with Dr. Nitti. We really like him and have had a positive experience overall. We didn't want to come all the way back into the city just for the cath, so Dr. Nitti gave him permission and instructions to remove it himself. Dr. Nitti was honest and indicated that he was on the border of being a good candidate for the sling. We weren't looking for miracles, just an improvement. We're very happy so far. FYI for anyone considering the surgery. Recovery thus far has been normal. No major pain or problems. He's 69.

Great news! I am one of those pesky drip guys I guess. Actually there are no drips except, usually a few times a day I get what is apparently a small spasm, an involuntary contraction I can feel happening, and if I am not super quick clamping down, a few drops are going to escape. So I still keep options such as sling or AUS in mind, and am always glad to hear of success, so thx!

Congratulations teddydog! I had an advance sling surgery nearly 6 months ago
and have not used a pad or depends since. I ran 7 miles today and not a dribble. My onlyproblem is I will have a few drops after peeing if I don't really shake and pull, never enough to even ieave a spot.Drinking adult beverages and black coffee in moderation doesn't Cause any problems.
Feel free to ask me any questions. It would also de great if more guys would jump in.

John!! and C130j, I've seen your posts and shared them with my boyfriend as he was making his decision. It was helpful to him to see some guys that had success. It helped seal the deal for him to make a decision to move forward. He was on the fence for so long. We're not quite a week out, but other than the normal surgical pain in the incision area, he's doing great. Not a drip! After struggling for 4 years with drips, he is looking forward to normal life again. Glad to see you guys are still doing well!
