Hi all:  Thanks so much for everyone's input.  I had a Urolift procedure done on June 28.  It's now July 5.  I had my cath taken out on july 3 at the urologist's office at 8am but after a few hours was still in retention and had to have it put back in at 3pm.  I was nervous that this wasn't going to work out as most discussions here seemed to show progress in at least urinating somewhat in less than a week. I went back today at 8am to try again. Thank God Between 4-5pm I urinated 400ML and am now relieved that it would appear I'm on the mend.  Fully expecting a two steps up and one step back recovery, but Hoping not to have to have the cath put back in.

    Ken  This is Kenneth.  Glad it is going good for now.  I had mine 3 1/2 years ago only had a catheter for 3 days.  I shot mine out after they filled it  I was good to go in 2 weeks.  Drink lots of water and no sex for 4 weeks.  They want the clips to a hear to the prostate.  Take it easy  Ken

    Hi Ken

    Good luck to you. I had 4 Urolift clips placed 14 months ago. Catheter for two days. Removed it at home per instructions. Fortunately I urinated immediately. Mostly blood at first but that gradually got less after a few days. Some urgency and frequency for first several weeks with a little leakage. Sore to sit for long periods as well for first couple of months. Only minor issue was a uti at about 3 months treated with antibiotics. Fine since. Things just slowly healed and got back to normal. 

    All the best

      Yes we all heal at different rates.  I also had 4 clips.  I ended up in the hospital and had a ridge scope last November .  Clips are still in the same place and still wide open.  Ken
