Has anyone experienced incontinence after HOLEP surgery?

I was told by the clinic that Dr Slade is not licensed in Hawaii and he can’t legally prescribe me meds or act as a doctor while I’m in Hawaii. I did contact the clinic and described what I was going through and was told that he would call and he didn’t. The last conversation over the phone with him before that he wasn’t able to or didn’t want to tell me the reasons for what I was going through, which was false urgency’s to pee and what I called at the time cramps right afterward, which are really strong contractions. He only was able to tell me in a few week more that I would see a change, but no change happened. He did mention at the beginning of the call that he has clinics and surgery and a very busy schedule and with our time difference it’s hard to find the right time to call.
I was not told that I would have a longer recovery time for any special reason. I was told the same thing that he says on his video, many patients get better in 2-3 weeks or sometimes 6-8 weeks and then only a few 3 months. I had some bladder small stones and lots crystals which he knew about beforehand and said that they would pass later after the surgery he said they flushed some of them out during the surgery.
I made my comments publicly because I felt like it was only way I could get a response and also people need to know that having this operation has more risks then all the you tube videos lead you to believe.

Since you asked there is one possibility as to why the operation had unfavorable results.
The operation was scheduled for Friday at 11:30 am, there was a hold up with the operating room and I didn’t get wheeled in until around 1:30 PM in the afternoon. The Dr. assured me they would not rush and they would take their time as usual. Shortly after waking up I was given what supposed to be a picture of my prostate. Even though I was still groggy I noticed right away that the name on the picture wasn’t mine. The nurse rushed out to find out what happened and came back about 10 minutes later and said they had forgot to set up my name in the computer for the photo and laughed it off and said they were going to have a hard time billing the insurance on that one. She cut off the name and handed me back the photo. Hmmmmm!
I am not accusing the Dr. of making or doing intentional rush job on me. I like Dr Slade, he is a great guy with a good beside manner. But now that you brought this up it makes me wonder what other settings were done wrong. Was everyone there thinking about getting home to dinner and a night out?
They say to never buy a car built on a Friday, maybe that goes double for HoLEP on Friday afternoon's
@randymurch, having a longer than anticipated recovery or unexpected complications is frustrating . Doctors do have to be licensed in the state where a patient lives to conduct telemedicine. However, did he not conduct your aftercare once your returned to your home state?
Is it possible that the extended care that your recovery is requiring needs further consultation with a local urologist?

Well, unfortunately, your opinion is based on frustration, which is understandable, but it doesn’t excuse in my view. The fact that you’re trying to blame this doctor in one form or another in regards to the outcome. People who question their doctors and lawyers only after they get the services, leaves an “awkward”mist in the air. I realize that I’m speaking from the standpoint of somebody who is completely cured. But I already knew that there was a big chance I could be standing where you are right now and I don’t think that I would be badmouth in the Doctor Who tried to save me. I could’ve just lived with it.
