@stein5488 Thank you for responding. You're right about some of the stories. It had me questioning if I should go through with the procedure.

@wadaman01 I'm 64 and had the aquablation in September, but I had a combo procedure where they do the PAE days prior to reduce bleeding so I only had the catheter 24 hours. You should be okay at your age, but everyone is different so there are no guarantees. So you duck out for a couple of extra bathroom visits, you should certainly feel well enough to socialize. I could have returned to work at a week. That's a large prostate and with a large median lobe delaying would have only made things worse, you're right to get the procedure before there is to much damage to your bladder.
