Thanks so much to all of you for sharing your experiences. I've gone back and reread each reply a couple times now, and they've all been really helpful.

Skip, the fact that you're sleeping through the night and not always scoping out the nearest bathroom. Good to hear coffee came back fast too.

cent66, nice to see another central Illinois person on here. Glad things turned out well for you even after a longer road getting there.

oldman, your story is probably the most directly relatable to mine since you also had the big median lobe and high PVRs. Hearing that you felt like you were emptying completely right from that first void is pretty amazing. I might take you up on the offer to message you directly as I get closer.

wally920, I really appreciate you being upfront about the seven months of incontinence. That's my biggest fear. I've been trying to do Kegel's so we'll see...

I'm still nervous, not going to lie. But hearing from all of you has helped a lot. Sounds like the surgery is worth it, recovery takes some patience, and the surgeon choice is crucial. Feeling good about where I landed on that front.

I'll post updates along the way... hopefully I hav a positive experience and can help somebody else the way yours have helped me. Thanks again everyone.
