Hello KeepOnTruckin. I agree maybe Happy Hour should start noon today. Haha!...
Thanks everyone for the positive comments....
Hello to all. Not much to say other than the good news on my Advance Sling. 10 months and still dry. I don't really think about it anymore. I exercise very aggressively and drink a few adult...
My primary care physcians who does my labs always uses Labcorp....
I leaked for 15 months after RPP. 3-5 ounces a day requiring a pad or depends all the time except nights. Eight months ago I had the advance sling procedure and have not worn a pad since. I love my...
Good news ultra sensitive PSA results received Friday are <0.006. Last test was <0.015. I guess new technology measuring lower. Also happy to report advance sling working well after 8 months, pad...
Congratulations to all my brothers who are having good success with the AUS or Advance Sling. I'm on 7 months and no pads. I just finished a 5 mile jog and I'm soaked. Sweat only! Yea!! I'm living my...
Happy Holidays to all. Last Friday I saw my urologist for my 6 month check up after the advance sling procedure. I have not worn a depends/pad since my surgery. I went loaded with questions as what I...
Hello Teddydog. I am so glad you benefited from my posts as well as CJ130. I wish you guys the best of luck. Stay in touch as I am anxious to hear of your continued success. Life is so much better...
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...
Hello Bob, Your progress sounds outstanding. I usually pee between180-320ml during the day. I have urinated as much as 480ml which I believe is about the max of my bladder. I have returned to all my...
Happy Thanksgiving to all. Bob, how's the recovery going? I believe you are at two weeks since your surgery. I'm 5 months since my advance sling surgery and have still not worn a pad. My biggest...
Bob, forgot to mention; my testicles also turned purple and swelled a little. The purple color stayed quite awhile but look normal now.A suggestion, each time you go to your urologist, make a written...
Bob that's great news. Your initial few days are just what I experienced. I'm on vacation in Vegas and didn't even bring pads, just in case, for the trip. Keep me posted.i love my boxers. Haha John...
Hello Bob, First let me wish you the best of luck and I'm sure you're going to have a great outcome. Please update me on how the procedure goes. As for me, no real setbacks at all. My surgery was on...
Hello Bob. Last question first. With sex I had very heavy leakage especially when ejaculating. Now, I don't experience any leaking during sex or when I orgasm. Stay hopeful on this one. My biggest...
I agree with Redwing. I've learned to go in with pad and pen in hand with specific questions. I let the urologist know at the beginning I've got questions. The way I feel is its my body and prostrate...
Hello Bob. I think you are doing the right thing going for experience. My urologist looks young but in his words 'I do a lot of these". Oh, no leaking at all during sex just need to work on strength...
Today I had my 6 week check up since my Advance Sling surgery. The Sling is working very well and I've been pad free since my surgery. Over the last few weeks, I've indulged in several beers on a few...
Hello Bob. I think its a good plan to go for more experience. In my Urology group, there are two urologist that specialize in continence issues and they are the only two that do the Advance Slings....
Bob, A few more comments. I just went to the bathroom and was very attentive to how everything flowed. I didn't have to force at all and I started to pee within a few seconds. I noticed the stream is...
Hello Bob. I'm glad and very hopeful you'll be dry soon. I have not had any significant problems in voiding even though my stream stars a little slower and flows a little slower. This just is not...
Hello Billy Bob. So far I'm staying dry without any quick kegals or clinching. I am also very physically active but won't be testing that for awhile. I see my urologist on the 25th of August and will...
Hello Billy Bob. So far, I don't even have to think about staying dry, I just do. I am also very active so I won't be testing that for awhile. I will see my urologist on Aug 25th and will ask him...
Today is 3 weeks since my Advance Sling surgery. I have not worn a depends or pad since the catheter was removed 2 days after the surgery. I'm feeling very good but still have some soreness in my...
Hello Bob. To answer your question, the two incisions near the upper inner thigh areas healed without any issues and quickly. Good luck on Thursday. If you have the urodynamics testing, it will take...
It's been 2 weeks since my Advance Sling surgery. I'm still having soreness and slight bleeding around the perineum incision so I saw my urologist today. He felt the healing looked good but as a...
I'm now at 12 days since my Advance Sling surgery and 10 days since the removal of the catheter. Still totally dry except an occasional few drops after I pee. Maybe I just need to shake a little...
Hello Bob, Glad to hear you are getting the urodynamics test next week. I don't know what the deal is but it always seems young attractive nurses perform these procedures. Haha. I also found I'd...
Hello Alephnull. Feel free to shoot me any questions on my experience. I felt a sigh of relief when I decided to move on the Advance Sling even though the outcome was certainly not guaranteed. I'll...
Hello Alephnull. Even knowing there was hope, I was becoming very pessimistic. Just a few weeks ago, I would each morning decide whether a moderate pad would be enough or should I just wear depends....
Hello Bob. Glad to hear you are going to see your urologist soon. I'm assuming he will be doing both urodynamics testing and cystoscopy. He should be able to give you immediate results based on my...
It's been 8 days since Advance Sling surgery and 6 days without a catheter. Still totally dry and not wearing pads. I have been experiencing discomfort with the incision along the perineum area. Saw...
Thanks Island time. Today is 3rd day without the catheter and 5 days since my surgery. Still very dry but flow varies when I pee. When I void it's usually about 8 ounces. The light burning during...
Hello Bob, You are going through the same questions I went through in regard to the sling vs the AUS. I too really didn't want the extra plumbing of the AUS but really wanted to be dry. I consulted...
Today is my 4th day since my Advance Sling Surgery. I have remained 100% dry. I'm still experiencing a fair amount of pain in the perineum area especially when getting in/out of the car and sitting...
Hello Bob, I was experiencing the same as you are. Better in the morning and increased leakage in the evenings. I started measuring the pads deducting their weight from the total. With a effort on...
Thank you Jim and congrats on your excellent recovery. John...
After 16 months of dribbles, I elected to have Advance Sling surgery after urodynamic and cystoscope tests indicated I was a good candidate.the catheter was removed early this morning and I have been...
Hello MK2.0. Did you have a RRP? Are you still seeing any progress with leaking? How much a day do you leak? Thanks for the post and good luck? John...
I'm currently experiencing leakage between 3/4 ounce to 3.5 ounces most days. Occasionally I'll have a high day of around 6 ounces but this will usually be after 2-3 hour workout including 5 miles...
Hello knotreel. Thanks for the advice on physical therapy. I've got my first appointment this Monday. I totally agree it doesn't hurt to exhaust all options before another surgery. Another question,...
James E. I just set up an appointment with a physical therapist. I plan on exhausting all possibilities before I elect to have another surgery. Regards, John...
Hello Samster. Thanks for the encouraging post. I like the idea of checking progress on a weekly basis compared to daily like I'm doing. I lost my daily logins from two months back. I found them...
Bob, Thanks for the encouragement. I feel guilty that all my posts are about me. I think of all my brothers out there with more serious situations than me. God bless us all. Again Bob , thanks for...
Bob, Thanks so much for getting back to me. What season are you featured in? Thanks again and I'm very interested in hearing your story. Regards, John...
Pa69 thanks for your post. I'm also a runner and very healthy at 69. Currently I will leak around 2-5 ounces on a inactive normal day, however, I workout with weights and cardio 4-5 times a week, my...
Jim, thanks for the suggestion on a physical therapist and biofeedback. I have considered that but haven't taken action. Your post just pushed me over the edge. I don't have much to lose but a little...
Hello Sheepguy. I've certainly wondered what would happen if I completed stopped my exercise. When I'm doing cardio, it's really hard to hold the leakage. I do lots better than at 6 months but the...
Hello Billybob. Thanks for posting. Yesterday was exactly one year since my surgery. I think I'm going to give it another few months before making a decision. On days when I don't exercise, I'll leak...
