I too liked web265’s comments to you. Your experience will vary from what you read here - maybe better or not. I would add that I appreciated a book about preparing for continence post-op. That is “Life After Prostatectomy” by Vanita Gaglani. It includes pre-op exercises so get started!

Best of luck to you, Gordon. Come back here frequently and check in with this awesome group of people. Someone here has “been there, done that.” My surgery was Sept ‘23 and things have gone well for me. You will do great!
