AMS 800™ Artificial Urinary Sphincter

has anybody had this done. I’ve heard good things about it. It seems pretty simple but then when I dig deeper, you know it takes six weeks to heal a lot of swelling and needs to be replaced every 7 to 10 need some time and adjustment to get used to but I like to hear it from the horses mouth I mean, I go through a pad or two a day and I’m used to it but you know what would be nice to not have to deal with that anymore Anybody had it done could you give us some feedback?

Thanks for posting old entries on AUS. I think I am on the line to adopt one of those devices after 24 years (since RP) in the dry.

Will read the posts carefully.
