Jeff , I've been thinking about what you'd said regarding being told that Kegels wouldn't work for you. I think the loss of sphincter and innervation would be the reason why you'd been told that....
bizman , after my post last week, I began to experience some dribbling. Not much. Easily absorbed by the kotex lightdays pad. I think I'm still okay. It reminds me of when I was in my 50s and would...
jerseycity , best wishes. I hope some of the hints I'd written early in this thread might be helpful for you. Raised toilet seat, especially if you're tall. Stool softener beginning the day or so...
Today makes ten weeks since surgery. I'm two weeks back at work. Each of the previous weeks got easier. I'm often moving now with less hesitation. I've developed ways to get down onto knees without...
I came back to write my semi-weekly update and noticed that a certain word in my reply to bizman42 has been asterisked out! Too funny. Okay, this past Tuesday made seven weeks since surgery. I was...
It's been a couple years since I've actually attempted sex with my wife. Unfortunately, ED has been part of my experience since the rad'ectomy two summers ago. I have masturbated before the AdVance...
Jeff , I'm not sure I understand your question about how long does a visit to the urinal take. Up to the past few days, my voiding amounts have been about 200 cc, not taking long at all to come out....
Jeff , John , glad to hear such good long term results. I'm a bit worried at the moment. Having been given yesterday the okay to lift 25 lbs, I lifted a case of Perrier at Costco and then also...
On monday I had called a question in to my urologist/surgeon, and received the answer today. Since it's now six weeks post surgery, he said that I am allowed to lift up to 25 pounds! I'm not allowed...
Yes, I'm pretty lucky on all levels. My cancer was caught early, and was eradicated with the rad'ectomy. The AdVance procedure is working. Thank you both for the encouraging words....
This coming Tuesday will make six weeks since surgery, and I'm still dry. I've tried to be as careful as I can. I'm still using the raised toilet seat. Two weeks ago I resumed driving. I've avoided...
I'll give them a look. Thanks!...
Thanks tallguy and Purgatory for the well wishes. tallguy , I had seen many of your posts in some of the other sling surgery threads. It was the threads here at healingwell that convinced me that...
I started a new thread after posting at Ed's. I'd sure be interested in hearing from folks who are now a year or so out from their sling procedures to hear how they're coming along. If anyone is...
It's now two weeks (post-op day 15) since the sling procedure. I can't emphasize enough what a good idea the raised toilet seat has turned out to be, along with a stool softener, mineral oil, and...
Good to hear this Jeff....
The following is what I had posted as a comment in another thread about the AdVance sling, then after reading a bunch of other threads, decided to post it as a new thread. It seems that most of the...
GPops, it's been a year since you last posted. How have you been?...
I had the AdVance sling done on 31 May 2011 and am now in my 6th post-op day. Things look encouraging. dawgfan, if you're still listening, how are things coming up on two years post sling for you?...
On 31 May 2011 I had the AdVance sling procedure. It's now 06 June 2011, my 6th post-op day, and things look encouraging. My retropube radical 'ectomy had been 13 July 2009. I was 58 at that time. I...
