Jeez! You entering a Sphincter Olympics or something?🤣. Guess I’m either lucky or had a surgeon who was as good as HE said he was; I never did any of that before or after surgery.
I mean, a few Kegels sure but nothing like you guys have done. You really don’t know what you don’t know, eh?

LOL, I'm not the guy that hopes for the best, I'm the guy that does everything in his power to ensure the best. I had exactly two things in my control (and I'm a control freak) to impact this procedure: fitness level and pelvic floor. And you can bet your bottom dollar that I hammered those things like my life depended on it. In my mind if I could improve the chance of continence and erectile function by even 3% to 5% it was worth it.

I trust my surgeon and all of this may have been not needed (and my trainer cost me an extra $5K, so not cheap either), but I feel better that the tiny modicum of control I have was exerted and, at the very least, it cannot hurt.
