2 years? You poor thing. I'm struggling after 3 months, I pee with every step. Over it.
Looks like I'll be assessed by another surgeon in 3 months. Hopefully.

Thanks for mentioning the incision problems. Did you use 2 pads, because leakage is a real problem at the moment.

I used probably 5-6 plus pads after prostate removal and after physical therapy I used 3-4 pads. Never got better . Even after male sling surgery failed. Dr said AUS would help me. So now. With the AUS .. I put a thin pad in when I go for my morning walk. Eat breakfast and 2 cups coffee and shower and I put a thick pad in for the rest of the day. No pad at night . I wake up 3am? And empty bladder and up at 5 am for my walk.
