What is a Prostatectomy Like?

I had my RP a little over two years ago. One month prior to my surgery, I did Kegels religiously. After the surgery, the only problem I had was terrible pain as I was coming out of the anesthesia. I wore my catheter for seven days. After removal, I did Kegels every hour on the hour. Never had one drop of incontinence. My surgeon said I was one of the lucky 10% who have zero problems. If you do choose RP, I hope you are one of the 10%. 🤞

I never did kagles Before or after surgery. 16 years ago, when I had the surgery, they never even discussed the issue. I had no incontinence after they took out the catheter. Results may vary.
