Has anybody had this surgery? If so, what was your experience with it?

I guess that nobody has had any experience with this surgery. I was curious as I am scheduled for it on June 8.

I used to belong to a group devoted to prostate problems, and there were lots of experieces posted regarding various treatments. It may have been a usnet group. It's been a while so I don't have the URLs.

The time is near now. I have to be in the hospital at 7:00 AM on Tuesday with surgery scheduled for 8:30 AM.

Unfortunately I will still be stuck with both the cock and balls.

Good luck!

Mac you are in my prayers on this and am very sorry that you have to even do this but i know the doctors are getting better at this so as i say i will be praying for you my friend

Dear Paolo and Sag,

Thank you for your concern. Today is four weeks since my surgery and I am sorry for not updating you sooner.

My surgery went well and the initial results were better than I expected. I didn’t have any real pain or discomfort following the surgery. I was able to leave the hospital without a catheter and had only light bleeding for the first couple days. I felt good enough to go out for breakfast on the way home from the hospital.

The problems began about 2 weeks following my surgery when I developed a urinary track infection. It resulted in moderate bleeding and painful urination, which I didn’t have for the first two weeks. I didn’t realize it immediately and it was another week before it was diagnosed and I started on antibiotics. This is the eighth day on the antibiotics and I am going back in for another urinalysis to see how the infection is progressing. It will take three days to get the results.

I will try to update you again in another week.

Unfortunately, I still have all of the unwanted parts.

I had my next doctor appointment on Tuesday, August 3 - almost 2 months following my surgery. I am doing well and my progress to date is great even though some difficulty exists. I have been off all medications for almost a month and the doctor wants to see me again in 6 months.

Dear Mac,

I am glad to hear that you are doing well.
