Aquablation: Post-surgery expectations

@vtredwolf Apparently aquablation was cleared by the FDA only in 2017 and, given that procedures like ours don't really immediately explode in number, patient feedback to urologists has been paltry. I think this explains the lack of guidance by our urologists.

I was myself given virtually no post-op advice by my doctor and thus have thought of giving him a journal of my observations. I'll see him on Dec 30 and offer it but maybe the better suggestion is for him to go on prostate forums like this for patient feedback if he's not doing so already.

@bennysr I'm very thankful for this forum, virtually any issue you may have encountered in your recovery is here somewhere. I literally read every post and it stopped me from being overly concerned with obstacles and helped me be confident my recovery was going normally. My Urologist office (potomac Urology) actually had a series of youtube videos on pre and post op, but that didn't, and probably couldn't, cover every possible issue.
