two-week Urolift follow up

Posted , 9 users are following.

I saw my utologist today for the 2-week check-up for my Urolift procedure.  He didn't examine me but said the procedure went fine and that he put 4 bands on my prostate,  It was fine that I am off my prostate med as well as my post operative meds.  Each visit, he has patients complete a survey and assigns numeric values to answers to such questions as how many times do you get up at night to urinate, is your urine stream weakk/strong/interrupted, and so on.  My answers this time were lower whch he saw as good progress.  I made an appointment in a month for another check up in Dayton.  I have moved to Columbus and asked for a referral here.  The Urolift site does not indicate anyone in Columbus, but the dctor said he thought he knew someone and would let me know.  I read on here that recovery may take 4 to 6 weeks, and the doctor today agreed with that.  i'm glad to be dioing as well as I am, and I'm looking forward to doing still better in a few more weeks.
