I have had my neobladder for about 4 1/2 months now (I'm 43), and am still working on getting some kind of control at night. During the day I'm pretty much back to normal (I just need to go a lot more often & not try to hold it to much). Anyway, for some reason I've found that the only way to make it through the night without leaking is to have a few beers (sounds weird I know), but I've tried it a couple of time and it works. I leak less or not at all? I'm thinking it's because my body doesn't shut down as much and relax my muscles enough to leak. Anyway, I don't plan on drinking every night so I'm still hoping it will get better. I'm hoping to get to that 95% retention rate my doctor said was possible...By the way, I had Stage 3 cancer (Squamous cell carcinoma), which is one the more rarer types.handybranch said:yes I have a neobladder ,it's almost 5 years old now.
