Hello @southgeorgia! I live in central Florida, and had the HoLEP Procedure in April of 2022 at the Mayo Clinic in Jacksonville. It sounds like you have been scheduled the procedure and it’s right around the corner! I arrived at the Mayo for some preliminary tests the day prior to the procedure, like EKG, Bloodwork, etc. the following day I went in for the procedure. The following morning the Foley Catheter was removed, and I too remained nearby for another 24 hours. This is because I live 175 miles away, the Doctor felt it would be better to remain nearby in the event something came up. Once the Foley was removed, I felt so much better. The only pain I had it seems was while the Foley was in place….it was uncomfortable. I did take it easy for about 2 weeks, nothing strenuous. I am retired so I basically stayed at home and followed Doctors orders of no lifting. I used to have a desk job, so to answer your question, I don’t think it will be an issue for you. I would ask the Doctor to make sure. No sir, I didn’t have to “re-learn” how to urinate, there was no pain when I did urinate. I was hugely surprised at well I could urinate as soon as the Foley was removed. The Doctor will tell you what to expect, listen carefully to what he says, follow his directions and you won’t have any problems. I feel so very lucky to have chosen this procedure because it worked out beautifully. This forum is a great tool to learn from others as others will learn from you. I’d encourage you to keep this group informed on your experiences, it helps all of us! If you have any other questions, please ask and I’ll do my best to reply in a timely manner! All the best!
