Hooray Mike! I am still waiting for snow here. I never really thought about NOT skiing with a Neo. Last January I went skiing 6 times. I guess Not thinking about it was the greatest part of the process.

Good for you
Now, it's "Neo Bladders for everyone!!!"

Light a man a fire and he is warm for an evening.
Light a man ON fire and he's warm forever.

Well, actually a pouch or ostomy bag would have worked just as well.

Please just market them to the male population until they figure out what to do with our prolapsed neo's in females!!!

I'm sending this update from Winter Park, CO.

I am happy to report that there is no problem with skiing with a neobladder. It's not like there ever was a problem but maybe if I post about it then I can claim the trip as medical expenses on my taxes. :D

Just in case the IRS is trolling these boards, the above was a joke.

In any case, it's even BETTER skiing with a neobladder. Before my surgery, I would have had to stop to recycle my coffee and beer at frequent intervals. Not a problem anymore!

More time on the slopes! I can start a marketing campaign for neobladders. People will be banging down the doors to spend more time on the slopes, more time on the golf course, etc.
