Glenn, I know that it looks like very long time but it is just 3 mos since your surgery. If you go through many threads here, you will find whole spectrum of patients post RP, from ones that had zero incontinence to ones that had full incontinence BUT most belong somewhere in between and very few end up being fully incontinent after a year of recovery. That is why urologists always say to wait a year to actually make assessment of the situation. It is great that you started with Kegel exercises. Did you ask for professional help with exercise program, or you are doing it on your own ? Some people here had better result working with PT. I am so sorry that you got hernia on top of it - you know there was one case here where person actually had big improvement with incontinence after hernia repair. Maybe it will happen for you too - is your hernia umbilical or inguinal ? At the end, if your incontinence does not improve on its own, there are methods to correct it. For now try to concentrate on your recovery and take it easy and I wish you the best of luck with your hernia repair. Let us know how it goes !

Thank you for the input.I had surgery yesterday for the incisional hernia.Am in a lot of pain but once this passes hopefully the incontinence improves.
