@wheel1 "The window for Surgery typically closes as you approach 75. "
That's what my surgeon told me, & I wasn't having any of it. I had the surgery just after my 76thth birthday & had zero complications, no pain, & no incontinence after catheter removal (also no pain). Just five tiny scars across my beltline which have since totally disappeared.
For me, a non-event.

@readandlearn That is good your Surgeon was comfortable with your health and felt you definitely had a good ten years plus ahead of you. Their will always be exceptions to the norm, but the norm is 75 and statistically proven so after that it is between you and a surgeon.
