So happy for you. Wish I could say mine was that way. It has been nearly 13 months and I still have incontinence, on antibiotics for the 8th time and have a hard time getting my urine to flow. It has been a miserable 13 months. I am not a happy camper about this procedure. The urologist said I would be peeing like a young man but it has never happened. I have to squeeze the urine out. I did kegels for 6 months then gave up because the leaking was not getting any better. The longest I have gone without a UTI is 2 months. I am so frustrated.

@elcorbs Sorry to hear that...wondering if they said anything about scarring in the urethra which sometimes happens and they have to expand it(think of a straw that is pinched in middle the diameter isn't the same all the way thru) which would cause straining...I have been taking a stool softener just so that I wont strain during bowel movement which has reduced the bleeding for me, now 10 days post surgery and just some pink at first pee in morning...I usually drink 3 liters over course of day and by mid day its very clear...I do kegels couple times a day and the only times I have leaked is a few drops during morning walks(4 miles) so just some stress leakage...stick with it, everyone is different but for me its been best thing I have done, on par with my hip replacement which was another miracle procedure..good luck..

@elcorbs
I’ve been 1week since the procedure.. the burning pain upon urination is getting easier to handle but clearly this ain’t for sissy’s..I’ll have to reserve final judgement for a month or more..
