Although each of us are in a different health situation, for me….I could tell a huge difference as soon as they removed the Foley and I urinated for the first time following HoLEP. The positive results were immediate for me. There is a recovery period that you’ll follow….but I felt great after the Foley was removed. I contacted the Mayo once or twice after I went home to ask if something was normal….you might be taking it easy for 6-8 weeks post surgery! Keep the faith pal, listen to your body, don’t over do it!
