Are you happy with your Artificial Urinary Sphincter?

I'm the poster child for AUS 800.
2 1/2 years ago (when 76 YO) had surgery from what was either a fantastic surgeon and/or guardian angel.
I was under for 4-hours and outpatient !
NO memorable bruising, pain, limitations, or distress (just don't lift over 10# and don't heavily wash area when in the shower).
Went from 7 to 9 pads a day to one super small (#2) liner 'just in case' ever since.
See if you can find a super surgeon; maybe one who has done many AUS's and does "gender affirming" surgery. They know the territory and have experience.

@grandpun Outpatient?!?! Damn!!! That's sooooo good! Glad it's worked out for you. Planning on doing it within the next 6 months. I currently wear a clamp when I go out and about(including golf). The more I hear about the AUS the more I like it.

Thanks!
Doug
