thanks
Thanks for the post. I did away with pads for quite a while, but now have small leakage after urinating. I am a patient man, but getting damn fed up with wet spot on my slacks. Could you give a little more info please?
Thank you.

First of all I'm glad that you are only having small leakage issues and do not have to use pads at all. That's great! I was less fortunate. I had quite a bit of leakage (3 - 4 full pads a day). Sounds like the sphincter may be overkill for your needs. According to my urologist someone in your catagory may be a good candidate for the sling. I would visit posts by others who have had the sling implanted.0 -

AUS experience
Kreinholt - Your first post in this thread was about 5 months after surgery. Can you update us? I'm being scheduled for an AUS, and am curious about what recovery from the surgery was like (my urologist said to plan a month of recovery), and whether you've been able to ride a bicycle and similar things. Is the sphinctre effective when you're doing strenuous things? Any need for revisions? You're about a year and a half post procedure now.
Thanks.
