Tango I am 59 surgery 6/12/23 so 7 month ago. Still wear light pad 24/7. Usually 1 to 2 in 24 hour. Not that I need them all the time but usually drip just a little after urinating. I did have wet nights the first month after surgery but gets better with time. Stress leak when lifting or pulling if I don’t prepare for it. I had no PT training. Was told by surgeon do Kegel 3 times a day, in sets of 10, so 30 total. I only do them after I pee while still at toilet, because I will dribble a little upon release of @ 2-3 of the set of 10. Did have 2 times in December I had to change underwear at night. I was ready to sleep at night without pad but that changed my mind. I hope by 9 months no pads needed, we will see. You are just past surgery so I hope you see improvement soon. I do take medication for bladder control seems to help without I make many many trips to pee. It took me time to adjust physically and mentally to life after surgery but doing good and no regrets. Keep strong you will improve soon.
