Aquablation: Post-surgery expectations

Update- I had my acquablation on 4/27 and cath removal 4/27.
My peeing has been mostly starts on stops, some spreading of the pee, hard to start and lately feeling of always have to go pee. My surgeon can’t see me until Monday so went to my main uro. He said the scan shows about 185ml pvr and no clots. He said it’s a major operation and you should have at least 2 weeks of hell before you get better. He also tried to show me how to self catch but couldn’t do it( nor could he because of a false passage). Definately made the prostate more sore.
After the visit I felt that I just need time to make this work. Unfortunately , last evening my peeing basically stopped. I was feeling intense pressure. Any pee that came out was dibbles.
After 10 hours of not peeing I planned to go to er this morning, but said to myself I should try to self cath just Incase I can get it to work so I won’t have to go to ER.
To my surprise I got it to work. I had a very full bladder as 600ml came out. Hoping that I can pee again before Monday when I see the surgeon

@albiet Good you were able to self-cath because it's really an emergency life-saver. Myself was concerned before using it but ultimately found it to be painless. The continued retention though is a concern in my opinion. If I'm not mistaken most of us here have experienced almost immediate and progressive improvement as time goes on. I think you'd want to press your surgeon for resolution. In my case, my uro also performed the surgery. Best of luck!

@albiet sure isnt like all the You Tube Doctors sites saying how easy Aquablation is just a little discomfort. Sure isnt a walk in the park! As of now wouldnt do it again.
