Thank you for your reply. I would of graduated to a higher dose but this has put me off for the moment. It looks to me, in various areas on the penis, that blood has remained in veins and this...
Hello, not posted for a while. I recently tried trimix which I was told has no after effects. My experience has been different. I have tried up to 40 units ( or is it 4 units, not sure) on the third...
That brave fellow is Rockyfords....
Activated last week, took a minute, with a minute being shown how to use it. My pump seems to be high but surgeon assures it is fine and can’t move at this point. Still searching for the best...
Week 4 and all is well. I was hoping to be activated but surgeon has given me an extra two weeks to wait. That’s the norm in Canada so almost there. Overall it’s been a far better experience than I...
Well into my second week of recovery. Discomfort is diminishing, the biggest irritant being the pads, the constant drip fills em up pretty quick. I had forgotten how horrible a full pad is. I am...
Great news blai, very happy for you. I’m doing well, went for a long walk with the wife, we had an amazing 32 c day, so nice to be out. I have a late October appt., not sure if it’s switch on or not,...

Thank you everyone I appreciate your thoughts. Just got back from the hospital, can’t say I enjoyed the overnight stay, especially if you have a snorer in your room. I wanted a private room but they...
Hi all, after three years it is finally my time to get fitted with the AUS. I have no doubt I am doing the right thing after living with the miserable conditions we go through. I have been in touch...
Thank you Vince, I have emailed you, hope you don’t mind. All the best....
Would anyone be willing to share a name of a skilled surgeon at Cleveland Clinic who performed the AUS800 procedure on you. I am starting the process early May, it would be great to have recommended...
Hi bagger, where did you have this fitted, how is everything with it? I have been incontinent for 3 years, had scar tissue problems all OK now, three times your pad useage, being in Canada the wait...
Thanks timcebu, what’s the docs name, or clinic name....
Hello, I am 18 months out from my RP. After early promise the incontinence problem has got even worse. I need scar tissue removal and then hopefully I will be ready for the aus. My question, what is...
I have found the feedback on this forum a real help. I am glad I found you guys. Just the fact I can touch bases with people in the same boat is comforting. This disease is the worst, I struggle...
Hi all, just following on from my meeting with the aus800 surgeon. I am now at nine months. He told me the detached urethra was not the best scenario and as the original surgeon told me, wasn't sure...
Congrats Rob, all the best....
Yes Rob, I think we all have a few of those feelings in various degrees. I feel for you, as you do for me and the rest of us I am sure. I just have to feel there is an answer and hopefully you get...
Hi Rob, very sorry to hear that, certainly not what you want. How does the device work for you, is there an improvement, I hope so you deserve it. I guess in my case it's whether I can put up with...
Glad you breezed through it my friend, I don't think I am that tough, I see the doc next week, see what he says. :)...
Thanks pasayten, I have heard between 10/15 years before adjustments. Is the adjustment major do you know? How were the post op effects, similar to my rp procedure I guess. Is recovery about six...
Thank you Peter, people's positivity of the process is worth so much, so thanks for that. There seems to be few negatives, apart from the mechanics breaking down after time, or is that a thing of the...
Hello, I am seeing a doc regards AMS800 implant. Using at least four heavy pads daily. Just wondering if any Canucks have had the op. and if so, would share your details, where, surgeon details,...
Yes good luck, wish you the best. Keep us in touch....
Thanks Rob much appreciated. Have you heard much about the Afex system?...
Thnks Rob I will take a look on your blog, I don't use any other forum....
Hi Rob, how do I find your prior posts, interested in your thoughts on cath. condoms, best system etc. I have trouble keeping them on, ave size, must be a better technique....
Thank you tall Allen and Rob. Good advice, more info here than what my doc comes up with. All seems pretty lonely at times. Anyway I will continue for another 6 months and check in again. I will take...
Thanks Rob, regards ed I am filling the surgeons prescription. There is so much I don't know. I in turn am sorry for your trials. I half expected to have the same condition as you. The uro told me if...
Thanks gremlin. The uro gave me the prescription saying nothing scientific but may help with ed, and it does? The surgeon says I have just had bad luck, great. Forgot to mention kayaks are a regular...
What do I do next. I had radical prostectomy dec 2016. I lost 23 days of recovery due to the urethra coming away from the bladder. Second op and catheter came out after 10 days. Being from Canada...
Hi MK, hang in there my friend. I admit I wondered where my willie had gone, didn't even realize that was one effect of rp. However I am 4 months out and it's coming back. One thing I did was get a...
Thanks Gemlin, that is interesting. It is difficult to retrieve information on studies like that. I am giving myself 18 months. I truly hope I am in the 9 of 10. Cheers....
Hi MD and thank you for your reply. I am sorry for the confusion, I had a radical prostatectomy, not the perenium route. Still trying to figure out the abbreviations. I didn't know what a perenium...
Hello, my first post on HW although since coming across the site I have read lots of posts and gained good ideas from them. I was diagnosed with pc in June 2016. I had no symptoms and was shocked,...
