Urolift Clip Removal and Biopsy tomorrow

I'm getting nervous in about 8 hours I'm going into surgery to have a urolift clip removed that went through my bladder. I've been peeing a lot of blood lately and hope that that is the only cause. The doc found some suspicious bleeding spots that he wants to biopsy. I think they were caused by the clip hitting different parts of the bladder when I moved. I'm worried that he might nick the bladder trying to remove the clip. I know Urolift has helped a lot of people but it can also seriously mess you up. If your doctor smiles when you go in for the consult and brags about doing 10 or more a day, run for the hill.

    It should be standard procedure to check to make sure the clips are in the right place after the procedure. If that can't be done because of blood or swelling, then they should do another cystoscopy on a follow up visit just to make sure things are okay. My follow-up visits were sitting in his office filling out the questionaire about my symptoms and him asking me if I could leave them a good review.
