  • This guy makes it sound like it's a walk in the park. In Sept 2010 I had the same surgery he had and was laid up for another 2 weeks. I had no major complications, but the air in my stomach area did not dissipate and caused unbearable pain. Plus I had the catheter in me the whole time. That caused a bladder infection. DO NOT THINK FROM WATCHING THIS THAT THERE WILL NOT BE AFTER-EFFECTS! I lost all sensitivity in my penis and I can no longer attain an erection. For more info contact me.

  • @MikeMeldan Hi Mike thanks for the comment. Hope things are going well for you now. I guess I was very lucky, I did have a top surgeon who had done approximately 250 of these surgeries. So, I guess it was a walk in the park for me! But, this is major surgery every doctor and every patient is different, so my video naturally just relates to my own personal experience. But, knowing now what I know, I would I would still choose this type of surgery over the others that are available.

  • Catheters are tough, especially on men.

  • @szqsk8 thanks for your comment. You are correct, but for me, the removal of the drainage tube after the operation was the worst part of the surgery. Second worst part was having to put up with the catheter and then it's removal.
