@wadaman01 Yes, those symptoms are normal. It has been four months since I had the procedure and I am very satisfied. My comfort and control of urination has greatly improved. But it did take several weeks for me to get to this state. After my catheter was removed I experienced slight burning feeling when urinating for a few days, but that cleared up. Something to be cautious of: after I had the catheter removed my urine was almost clear. Then after a few days I started to see blood when I peed. It got darker and darker and lasted for about three weeks. That caused me some concern, but it is part of the healing process. I do advise not to be too active for the first three weeks after the procedure.
