ANDYACTION... hi to everyone..... I had my Gat Goren procedure in 2012 and have been a regular contributor since this topic started and have provided regular updates as the years have passed. It's...
April 2021 update As old readers will know, I had my Gat Goren procedure in March 2012. Before that I was in a terrible mess, on medications, dripping instead of peeing, going every 20 minutes - and...
Hello Everyone. Happy and healthy new year. My GG procedure was undertaken in March 2012. Life is ok now with no issues that cause me concern. I take no medications and go normally. Normal frequency...
Neil, I remember you well now. Sir Peealot..... Thanks for the info and link. Improvement although very slight, was immediate. However further improvements took 3 - 4 years and I must say, there are...
Neil, I don;t know where he is performing the procedure. Last time I heard, it was Cyprus. Yes, I watched my procedure on the monitor and Dr G explained each step. Thanks for the information on the...
Neil, I remember! I haven't been in the Inspire discussion for some time so will take a look. I hope your procedure goes well, it's really good that you too have taken the trouble and the effort to...
PS .. neil , the procedure is totally painless and 15 mins after being "released" I walked back to the hotel some 15 mins away from the hospital....
All - and Neil especially: As long term contributors to this discussion will know. I had the GG procedure back in 2012. Then I was 60. At that time, it took me half an hour to pee and then ten...
Hi All, Hope everyone's doing ok. UPDATE. I had my GG in March 2102. Overview, Prior to GG, was getting up numerous times nightly, taking up to half hr to pee each time and never feeling MT. Daytime...
I'm approaching four years post Gat Goren. I intend for the first time since the procedure to go for a full range of blood tests and send it on to Dr G. Current position: No drugs, night time visits...
Hello everyone.... heres my update, approx 3.5 years on from having gone through the G/G procedure. Night time visits - usually none unless I've had drinks late - usually after 9. Day time visits -...
MGL, Chicago Dave mirror my experiences with G/G, it takes more than three months to benefit from the procedure, so don't write it off yet. I found I experienced improvements over the course of two...
MGl 59, 3 months can be a bit early and you may find over the next couple of years that you improve. I hope so. Chicago dave also re confirms this. So, don't write it off yet. I Found improvements...
Hello chaps, I just don't know where the time has gone!!! I do look in from time to time and read the great posts which must of great assistance to those considering any procedure. March this year...
Hi everyone who remembers me! As you may recall, I had my G/G procedure almost three years ago and have regularly updated the forum on my progress. Prior to G/G, peeing took 10-15 minutes a go and...
skateman. Yes, when I have a moment, I wil log and get a blood test and perhaps see the urologist for flow tests etc. I'll keep the forum posted....
A happy and as healthy as possible new year to everyone. Well, this forum has come a long way…… It's now almost two years (Mar 29 2012) since I had my G/G procedure. Time to update you all on how...
by the way, the procedure was done without any pain killers or drugs and it took an hour or so. It was not painful or uncomfortable and I was able to walk around my hotel a few hours after the...
you need to look at the GAT GOREN threads. G/G have a procedure that closes off the spermatic veins and capillaries, preventing backflow of free testosterone rich blood which they claim, causes the...
hello everyone.... I'm now one of the lurkers.... still around and finding the posts very interesting and informative. Now, i'll answer the question.... how am I progressing? 18 months in from...
Hi all I'm still around but leaving those who know more, run the show. Some very interesting stuff. 18 months on, still much improved.. nightime visits nil 40% of the time. Once about 30% of the time...
hi everyone...... Still here and am just about to post my pee video to you tube.. hope it gets accepted...... Well, it seems that a lot is happening...... those with bph have some decisions to make!...
bob, All... WILL DO... I'll shoot a vid and post it on you tube. Don't know that they will keep it on though! I think you and dave are hitting on something new and relevant in your last posts. I must...
Watch Chicago Dave. BANG ON! I must agree with Dave's comment "Interestingly, the improvement hasn’t been linear and gradual, but rather stepwise and fitful. After each improvement, there would be a...
Can someone post the full contact details for the Portugese Doctor who is undertaking the G'G proecedure. (Someone asked me for their details and I said refer to this site). Thanks...
Look out... I'm still here....... I had an idea that may help some people.. Not a savoury idea, but I think may be of benefit to those who are deciding which way to go..... Before the Gat Goren...
Chaps, I speak as I find. I'm blown away with the way this has gone. THANKS ALL for all the recently expanded informed input which is illuminating and perhaps, slightly worrying to someone as ill...
Martin, From my point of view, the numbers mean little... i have to rely on others to interpret. what I can guage and report on is how I have found the procedure to effect my BPH problem. Initially,...
Hansi, Good to hear you took the plunge and got the the doctor fiddling with his tool! Haha (in the uk we often joke about the size of your tool (penis)..... heheh On a more serious side, i'm glad to...
Franck, Dr Goren undertook the procedure. Dr Gat was looking on and possibly involved from another from an adjoining area -...
Hi Everyone. Martin, I'm not sure the G/g is much different in effect than having varicose veins glued shut. Such procedures are old hat, tried and tested. Does this cause necrosis? I hope not!!!!!...
uk, just a thought, under the freedom of information act can't you request your records and all the test info and results from your doctors for your own use. Ask a solictiro to send them a letter if...
HANSI, GOOD LUCK! keep us posted. To everyone, a merry and peaceful christmas and a happy new year....
Hi, Sorry to be so slow in responding.. busy at the moment..... Uk, this is how I went about my blood tests. Because I had known BPH and was on prescribed drugs and had been seen by a Urologist, my...
Hiya chaps and you too Uk New member. Uk, I'm an essex man who has undergone the G/g treatment. The local doctor and his staff were totally unsupportive and incompetent, the urologist was...
martin, I have posted some before and after results. All my tests were taken through th UK NHS, so they are independent. Sadly however, they seem to keep loosing samples or messing up the tests. i'd...
Clap, I accept and cannot disagree with your comments and thanks for your good will. Time will tell and of course i will keep posting. I especially hope that I can report positively as the months go...
Yes, well done finding this one. It's pretty convincing...... and thats why I opted for the gat / goren procedure............
Clap, Martin. The nitty gritty of it all is whether or not one feels the potential risks / benefits of the Gat Goren procedure at this point in time outweigh the risk / benefits of the other...
Martin, glad to hear from another G/G 'patient' on this forum - I hope your improvements mirror or better mine. Your comments started a flurry of response from the chaps and certainly give further...
hi everyone, including the new members.... sorry I could not respond sooner. Going back through the last few comments. I would say that I have been in communication with Dr Gat and I understand he is...
I have let Dr Gat know about the NICe consultation. He may be too late to be involved, but I don't think He's interested in PAE as it is different to his. Shame may be that NICE don't invite him for...
a breakthrough.... The UK National institute for Clinical Excellence (NICE) has just undertaken and may be still undertaking a procedure consultation on prostate artery embolisation for BPH. This is...
Bob, by the way you asked about sexual side effects. Besides not having retrograde e, I have noticed a slight but noticeable improvement. (but not in maintaining the erection). still need my viagra.....
Hello yoav, Thanks for the input. Bob, the G/g procedure is alleged to deal with the cause. The surgical procedures, the effect. I understand everyone's concerns but sometimes you have to grab the...
Well said bob from Nj. Murdad, right lets get back to your last post.... I came off finasteride and diffundox roughly at the end of August. At the time i came off the tablets, my flow was continuous,...
Hello, everyone, Sorry not to have responded sooner.. been too busy to look at the forum and expecting to be notified of posts which did not materialise I was not aware of the additional posts. Well,...
Cheers for that heads up.. i'll see if I can get onto it.. (not the boner) the tablets.......
Gavrikon, Sorry to learn of your dad's condition. There but for the grace of God and all that!!! Cost is for you to decide on. If it was me, I would not hesitate in view of the potential relief and...
Clap, No, it's not usual apparently although if any further capillaries open up to feed the prostate with the backflow from the kidneys then it is possible. As part of the procedure, they close the...
