I certainly don't know for sure, but that said I agree with @jeffmarc and his care team. Before surgery my surgeon told me I had a 90% chance of being continent at 1 year. I actually got lucky and was immediately continent, but I still have a few leakage accidents during the first 3 months or so as my brain adjusted to the new normal. At 9 months I no longer have any accidents at all plus I've regained my confidence. Based on my surgeons answer being framed at "1 year" and my personal experience, I think it takes a while to adjust to the new normal for most guys so I think your surgeon and urologist gave some reasonable advice. I'm not a medical professional so this is just my 2 bit opinion. Best wishes.
