Surgery questions

Dannie welcome to our forum but sorry you need to be here. I have an Indiana and I am not sure what your surgeon has against it. Doing what I do I talk to a lot of the top urologists and I do know that it depends on what you do the most of a lot of times. I talked to three of the top Urological Surgeon's in the country when I had my RC done. I knew I wanted an Indiana pouch if possible a neo was not possible because of cancer spread to the ureathia and I did not wish to have an external applicance. Having a continent diversion was important to me as I was very active if not as active as you are. The first surgeon did not do Indiana's but would do one if I insisted, the other two had had a lot of luck with them and would do one unless they found something unforeseen during surgery. I chose the one that did the highest volume of RC's and as an added bonus he was someone I liked and trusted. Bottom line what every diversion you have the surgeon needs to do a high volume of them.
My experience with the Indiana has been great it is contenent and I catheratise about every four hours. I can honestly say that it has never kept me from doing what ever I wish to do. I have hiked, danced, snorkeled and lived life for ten years with it. At first like the neo it takes time to "train it" but once that was done it has been fine. I just have to plan to have a disposable catheter with me while out but that is what pockets are for right? If you have specific questions please ask I would be happy to answer.
We have a user I want to post to you but we do not seem to have his correct email address he check in every few days so I am sure you will hear from him soon as he checks in regularly. He has a neo is a business owner and race care driver.
We have seen mountain climbers, marathon runners and everything in between with all three diversions. People adjust and adapt and that is an important piece of this puzzle another is the skill of the surgeon with the type of diversion they have done.
