An update...Surgery 10/15 mid day 3.5 hrs.
No blood or clots leaving hospital. Nurses were amazed. Dr said procedure went perfectly.
Walked 3/4 mile Thursday morning, slight discoloration of urine.
Constipated Thursday, 2 tablets of Ducolax relieved that problem in the early hours of Friday morning.
Walked 3 miles Friday morning

@techee
Very glad your procedure went so well! Im two days away from three weeks post procedure. My recovery has been a little slower than yours but am now back to fairly long walks and regular activities. Im very satisfied so far and looking forward to continued improvement. Hoping my post void retention improves as it’s still fairly significant but it’s not due to blockage as I have great flow. I think my bladder needs to adjust to the new landscape down there. I guess that can take some time. .

@techee not to rain on your parade, but I had a similar aquablation experience and my urine was surprisingly clear the first week. The second week I saw more color in my urine and passed more material. It's a sign of healing, those scabs have to go somewhere. I found more activity meant more color and material passing, but it wasn't a big deal, I was just surprised because I thought i was over the hump, it cleared up in week 3. My only recommendation is stick to doctors orders and don't jump to more physical activity to quickly. I know, the sitting around is maddening.
