Prato This has happened to me twice in the last few months. Both times happened at the end of a long week at work and I was exhausted. So I am hoping that was the problem. So now I wear a pad at...
Great news!!! You can sleep good tonight. I recieved my 3rd zero last week. It is truely a blessing....
March the 11th will be one year since they took out the beast. Not going to say it has been an easy ride. It would have been a lot tougher if these levels wasn't a zero. But I am blessed to report...
Hey Prat, Great to see you are progressing well. Just a word concerning the blood in the urine. I had blood in my urine weeks after surgery. This is just part of the healing process. Wait until you...
Hey Pratoman It will get better, there will be some tough times ahead. But I don't see you being a girlie man so you will be fine. Oh and that shower thing with the wife, dude enjoy that, I know it...
Pratoman, Good to see you are doing better. The new normal will come and go, before ya know it life will be back to almost normal. The good news is you have rid yourself of the beast. Once you go...
Prato, I get a new normal every week or so. As you can see I am 8 months post op. I am just a layman on HW amongst a group of experts, so I have little to add. I put up a big front before surgery...
Last Monday the 15th I got a AMS 700 LGX installed. Way to early to arrive at any conclusion of success or failure. All I know right now is that I lived thru it an that my stuff is swollen and SORE....
Sophie, I am not an expert in these things. There is a lot of guys on here that are so you can trust them. I had RPS back in March, I also had ED issues before surgery. What I have discovered thru...
IM_P, Can you feel the tip of the tubes at either end? Can your wife tell much difference in the shaft? I hope this isn't too personal. When the boys go up to get out of the cold do they bring their...
Thanks Jeff for your reply. Yes sir I can use all the prayers you can muster up. My biggest concern is the post op. I need to be back at work on the 22nd, so ice packs will be my friend. Also you...
Will do, Have a good Thanksgiving. Looking forward on good reports of your surgery as well....
Thank you for that info. I thought about having a AS installed at the same time. But I am only 8 mons since RPS, I am using one pad a day. Mainly for assurance as I normally only leak after the...
Going to be a good Christmas this year!! 2014 started out rough, may end a little rough. But 2015 will be a new season in this old mans life. Dec 15 th I will be getting a AMS 700 LGX. My wife said I...
Received my PSA results today. Thank the Lord I am still in the ZERO CLUB. /community/emoticons/smilewinkgrin.gif Praying we continue down that path. This site has been a true blessing to me. Not...
Welcome GPAT Sounds like you are headed in the right direction. I had surgery 3/11 of this year. I am 6 months out and doing great!. You should continue to get better at a faster rate now that you...
Hello, I don't want to be negative concerning the other guys comments. But the day of my catheter removal and that night was really rough on me. I went thru several of the heavy pads. Every time I...
That is funny, my wife told me I had this look on my face of confusion. She said it was like I was saying, WHAT JUST HAPPENED TO ME? Really guys do your research and don't get dazed and confused. You...
Rick, Thanks for a great post. Most of the issues you have mentioned has been an issue for me to some degree. I didn’t know all this stuff was going to happen to me. I watched all of the You Tube...
Chad, Sorry you have to be here, but this is a great place to get advise. I had my prostate removed March of this year, Gleason score 7 after surgey. I had a million questions that didn't get...
10/4 ON THE PATIENCE, LOL...
6 month PSA, Doc says non detectable!!! /community/emoticons/smilewinkgrin.gif This nightmare is slowly turning into a bad dream. I hope soon it will just be a bad memory. I am still having ED...
Tell me you are kidding about the Romax wire. Surely that would cut off circulation. Most nights I don't leak too much. I went to the bathroom about an hour after I went to bed last night, got up 3...
The experts here will tell you most of the supplies you will need. I am a new member and can't offer you much expert advise. But the biggest thing you will need is patience and a sense of adventure...
Inkhorn, Thanks for the advise. I may try it in the near future. Got enough going on now just dealing with stress during the day. You know like coughing or sneezing and the pad now covering...
I don't mind getting up a couple times but I thought maybe the clamp would relieve some of the stress. I do wear a pad every night. Just like to go pad less when I sleep. Thanks....
Thank you for you comments. I have found that most of this stuff is trail and error. We have a pad on my side of the bed, I have only needed it twice since the cath was removed in April. This has...
I realize this isn't a major issue after what most of us have been through. I am down to one pad a day, but I still leak a little at night. A couple of weeks ago I did more than leak. We was up at...

Hello sir, I pray you are doing good in recovery. I had my surgery 3/11/14, I just discovered this site a few weeks ago. I wish I would have found it sooner. I had a lot of questions that didn't get...
Thank you for your help and kind words. I am no expert in any of this. I just hope that men that is going to have this surgery finds this sight before surgery. If I knew what to expect it would have...
Hello to all, I am new to this forum so forgive me if I am not polished in terminology and knowledge. I just discovered you guys a few weeks ago. I wish I would have found you about 9 months ago....
