It's interesting this topic came up. I'm seeing a pelvic floor therapist preemptively now (pre-surgery) along with a personal trainer to try to be as ahead of the curve as I can be and the therapist was talking about another patient with the AUS who raves about it and has even offered to talk to any of her patients about it. My first reaction was "well there's a sling that doesn't require activation" but it's hard to argue against the logic of regaining the second sphincter that was removed since it's something I've lived my whole life with. Given what I've read elsewhere and even in this thread, I think if I end up needing anything I'll opt for the device over the sling.
