This is my 1st post although I have been reading comments on this site for months. I am 75 and had my robotic surgery at Mayo last September. The info that the doctors give you concerning post surgery is correct as well as what the many members on this site have said. It takes TIME and dedication to doing Kegel's to achieve continence. In my case the 1st month+ after surgery was tough, diapers and numerous pads. It progressively got better and after 4 months I was down to 1 pad a day and none at all at night (gravity, I guess). At the end of month 5, we travelled to New Zealand and Australia for a month returning just days ago. Everything went well except I needed many bathroom breaks on the airplane and during the land trips. I think the break in a home routine as well as the time (6 months) finished the job as I am now almost 100% back to normal. It is a slow process and most guys want a quick fix to things. Good luck in your journey.
