I am also 3 years out from surgery. I am having sling put in next Friday. One or 2 pads a day for the rest of my life is not what I want if I have an out option. The 2 procedures are not bad at all....
very good video. I had seen it before but I don't recall the tunneling technique.Being 6 days away it was a good refresher. In your posts I think you used a raised toliet seat in early stages of...
I've seen that a raised toliet seat has been reccomended after sling install. Since there are different heights what is the best height 4, 5 or 6 inch. They also have padded ones. What can you who...
good news, I am a week away from same procedure. I know you said you went thru a pad or 2 a day. What type of pad. Was it for moderate leakage or a thicker pad. Was the pad full up or what. hope I'm...
I am having sling put in 10/28. Pre-op stuff tomorrow. I'm 3 years out and in zero club. 1 to 2 pads a day is a drag. I finally decieded to make the move. Glad to hear of your good results. I'll stay...

I do get the dry mouth somewhat, but no other side effects. I was restless when I first started taking it so I backed off on the dosage. I now take 1 mid-day and 2 at bedtime. Results hgave been...
at around 18 months and still no improvement from 2 pads per day I figured thats the best I'll get. Went to uro to discuss options and he suggested medication before any major moves. I was hesitant...
I HAVE BEEN TAKING IMPRAMINE FOR about 2 MONTHS. IT HAS REALLY HELPED. I AM 2 YEARS 3 MONTHS POST SURGERY. I USED 2 PUT 2 PADS ON IN MORNING AND WITH AN ACTIVE LIFESTYLE THEY WOULD BE HALF FULL BY...
JEFF, WHAT DO YOU USE AS A MEASUREING DEVICE FOR PADS...
good luck on the sling. I have had the urodynanic test and cysto test. I am now taking impamine to see if it helps leakage. In a month or so I may be making the same choice you have. Carry On....

GOOD LUCK CARL. WE'VE TALKED IN THE PAST. I AM STILL ON THE FENCE. YOU COULD BE MY ROLE MODEL ON WHICH WAY TO GO. I'M HOLDING STEADY AT 2 MILD PADS PER DAY....
Good luck Carl. I'm still in a holding mode on my sling decision. Will probably wait untill next summer or fall. Delay is mostly due to work issues. Talk to you soon. John AKA jerseycity. ...
Jerseycity welcomes Jerseyguy. See you on the shore. ...
I've had this condition for about 5 years. Now I have a bunion alongside of toe. Saw podiatrist yesterday and got a coretizone shot. I know surgery is best option to clean it out and probably fuse...
another <0.04 and still in zero club. Still have some leakage issues. Go thru 2 pads half full a day when active. Thinking about the advance sling procedure. I am going to hold off awhile to see...
heavy leaker, I do not believe that 2% incontinence figure. I'l l bet it is more like 15 % or more. I am 20 months post surgery and do 2 pads a day being very active. I am considering sling at some...
Hey Carl, It was good to talk to you Saturday. Thanks for all the information. Bad day you say. Yeah, the beer and wine most likely had something to do with it along with the coffee. The things we...
Tallguy, hey Carl. I might be giving you a call this weekend. If that not cool let me know on HW....
I did view the surgery video at Sentara General hospital by Dr Kurt Cammon in 2008. Really shows exactly what's done and how. Very educational. I think at some point I will have this done. The 6 to8...
Hey Carl, thanks for the info via e mail. I will look at that video today. The words " am totally dry " in your post must have felt great to write. What differs with the colorpost procedure from the...
good stuff tall guy. I will be contacting you. how do we get to profile to get your e mail? ...
I found some sling information though this organization. They indicated when the AdVance method is used 40% are dry, 40% get much improved and 20% no help. Since the Advance has only been used since...
