Considering the BPH surgery, I have been helped by medication ( rapaflo and oxybutynin 5mg) as to frequence between urination, it has improved to about every 2 hours and most nights i get to sleep through depending on liquid consumption in the evening, beer is the worst dam it. I still have the occatioal little squirt if I wait to long after I get the urge and I already have Retro from the meds for the rest of my life. So I guess my ? is at 66, is the surgery worth it when meds seem to be working, and would it return me to normal urinary function, pre enlargment of the P.

Yuo probably have BPH (because the meds helped) but you don't have a diagnosis. The things that jimjames outlined are standard to diagnose it - particuarly the scope. Have one done, confirm that you in fact have BPH, then, depending on the results (size, where the obstruction is, etc.) there are options available, including some new ones that carry comaratively less risk and work well in most cases - if you decide to go that route.
For starters, I would switch Rapiflo to Alfusozin as it works as well in many cases and doesn't usually cause RE. When you get some details, we can help you more with options and what the doctors don't always tell you.
