So glad to see a retired doc recommending Vagnita's book. I got it early on and it seems like she has lots of counterintuitive advice that a lot of programs don't talk about much, but seems really solid. I'm a month away from surgery, but working on getting ready.
I was hoping to hear from folks who had tried her approach to see if they were helpful. Are there others who have used Vanita's methods out there??

I got the book read it than gave it to Goodwill,
she definitely has some good points and methods. I especially appreciated her attention to psychological connections to resisting dependence on pads. (push ourselves towards continence as opposed to surrender)
the big 'however' from my perspective is, research does not support ten weeks.
Of course some men get better in ten weeks.
Some men have zero incontinence.
However, research ( good research from NIH and the urological association) advances that the majority of men are incontinent. the majority resolve somewhere around the one year mark.
