Aquablation: Post-surgery expectations

I wish mine was going as well. Also had aquablation surgery at Arlington Hospital 6 weeks ago. Frankly, I'm not sure that going through with surgery was a good idea. I'm in a much worse place than I was pre-surgery on practically every metric. I have intense pain when urinating. The need to urinate is more frequent and I'm also having problems with incontinence which is entirely new. I just feel ground down by this whole experience. I've had to cut back on my travel and sleep is intermittent.

Tell me it will get better...someday..??

My experience was similar.
Surgery in May, for several months I was worse than before the surgery.
It took an unexpectedly long time to start to feel some improvement.
Now, 6+ months later, there is noticeable improvement.
But I haven't gotten to the point I was prior to surgery.
Currently trying to wean myself off of the Depends.
Pain on urination has subsided a lot, but still feel some discomfort.
Flow is ok, but inconsistently so.
Urgency comes and goes. Usually waking to urinate 2 times per night. After surgery I was getting up as many as 4 times a night. Prior to surgery I was getting up 1 time in the middle of the night.
So, all in all, my urination issue was better before surgery, regressed a lot following surgery, and is only recently, 6 months later, showing improvement.
Hoping to get to my pre surgery situation soon.
