Welcome, @rodneyverrill. I'm tagging members like @firespooks @jonbuuck @scullrower @budisnothome and @kpgnsm have experience with an artificial urinary sphincter (AUS) and have shared in these related discussions:

Your wise to be asking questions now as you prepare for surgery in a few days about what to expect for life after the procedure. You sound like you're an active guy who wants to stay on the move.

I’ve had my AUS for more than 5 years. It’s not perfect, but it’s helping me live a more normal life and save on incontinence pads. I had trouble with urge incontinence for a time. The bladder would push so hard that I leaked. A Botox treatment helped with that. Best wishes. Just make sure your surgeon has done lots of AUS insertions.
