Let me share my experience. RP on 9/18/24. Started kegels a few weeks before surgery and had 4 biofeedback kegel sessions after surgery. Was very frustrated after one month - expecting too much too soon. I am 68 year old, active and healthy. Leakage was ongoing. Slowly but surely improvement came. -- 6 weeks after surgery I bought Vanita Gaglani book - Life after prostate cancer.
Followed her 10 week program - followed protocol including diet restrictions, limiting coffee, sweet and other bladder irritants. Just finished 10 week program and doing pretty good. limited leakage when very active - most of day dry. Stay positive and good luck

Hi does the book by Vanita Gaglani discuss kegel exercises to perform prior to surgery. My surgery is scheduled 1/27/25 and I am trying to do what I can before to minimize the complications after my surgery. Any suggestions for pre op prep would be greatly appreciated.
