I too flew from Hawaii to have HoLEP surgery with DR. Slade after you, mine was on May 9th. He was very nice and caring during the surgery and for a few weeks afterwards he checked in on me.
My healing process is going extremely slow at over 7 weeks post surgery now. I’m still experiencing over active bladder symptoms and stress incontinence so bad that I have to use 4-6 heavy duty pads per day. When I sit or lay down I have zero leakage so I’m thankful for that. At around 5-6 weeks post surgery I started passing bladder stone and crystal clusters, I barley felt them passing, this indicates to me that the valve at the bottom of the prostate was made too large. My nerves and muscles at the bladder neck as well as the bottom valve were shocked really badly. I’m doing tons of kegals and doing Tens tibial verve stimulation. I’m also drinking Varuna bark tea that has been used for 3000 years to treat OAB.
My only option to talk to the Dr. now is to leave comments on his HoLEP You Tube video.
