Hello all,
Tomorrow is my robotic prostatectomy. It seems like a long time since I was diagnosed in late May but I am ready for surgery and beyond. This forum has been ever so helpful in getting me to this point. Thanks to all of you and good luck on your decision making and/or healing.

Good luck Bill.

I think the worst part was not wanting to eat?

Wishing you all the best. Remember that recovery is just a temporary thing. Hopefully in three weeks or so, this will be all behind you. Hang in there.

You hang in there, by now as I type this, the surgery should be over, and you might be a little rummy and hurting right now, but you will feel better before too long.
All of us here wish you the best, and keep us all posted on how things are getting along in your post-operative period.

Good Luck. It went pretty well for me. Home after one night. I drove 3 days later. Probably could have driven home the next day after surgery, if I really had to...not recommended, but I did drive a bit buzzed in the college days.

Glad to hear that surgery went well. Now we wait for the pathology report and the return to normal function.
Do not push yourself too fast.
