Since I started this thread, I have had a robotic prostatectomy, gleason 7, combined with a diverticulotomy which was very large. The surgery was on April 11. I had issues with previous incontinence before the surgery, and continue to do so. I have tried most meds, kegel exercises, self cathing...not a lot of success. I continue to manage by wearing diapers of some kind. I am 70 yrs. old, and really do not want any other kind of surgery...artificial sphincter, and a lift were suggested. Is it acceptable to manage as I am? I'm at the point where it doesn't bother too much. Some days are better than others. I just don't want to take a chance and go without protection.
