As far as the ED issue, my doc insists that we do it a couple times a week. I am following his advice ;D. I do use a pill with good but not great results, but slowly getting better. Use it or lose it, my doctor says and he means it. There is an injection that evidently works well...if you have the guts to inject yourself in your penis! He says it's a small gauge needle...Yikes! I haven't tried it yet.

Actually, at 4 months post op, my bowels are not bad, better than I thought they'd be. i eat bran cereal in the morning and drink a lot.

Don,

I am having the same issue and feel the same on the bowel problem, let me solve that one and then move on to the ED. I must say I have been on 4 to six Metomucil tablets now for three weeks and while I have the cramps on occasion it is 100% better and more normal and I am 15 weeks post surgery. Let's all hang in there and look forward to the progress over the next week.

Thanks to both of you for your input. Just like you once I get the digestive thing on track. I already have major life improvments after RC. One last issue. We all must work it out for our self I guess. I am cotinet day and night as long as I dont go to far past 4 hours. I do were a small pad in day. But nothing at night. I am back to the nude game as I like it.I do have the ED issue but tried viva viagra per doc. Just got a headach from that. So will try again later. Before I was always up for action so this is way diferant for me. To tell you the truth the issue with the poop shute is by far more important to me. Don

Hanging in there!

Don,

I am 14 weeks post surgery and I lost 51 pounds and I admit I needed to loose 20 but none of my clothes fit. The bowel problems I understand as mine is just now getting better with the help of 6 fiber tablets a day. The cramps were so bad they would ruin my day and I could not be caught in traffic in case they hit which is hard to plan in Houston. I am having the same success with bladder function as you, my record is 5 and a half hours one night which is better than before surgery so if the bowel problems go away I will be better than before surgery. Hang in there and if you are not taking them get some Metomucil tablets!
