Report on Surgery Relevant for Older Males

[JEFFPPC]

Tuesday the 18th I had a Robatic Assisted Prostectemy. So now 2 days later still no pain. Twinge across the waist getting up or down but less each time. Was I apprehensive and nervous? Yes and no. I had a lot of friends praying for me and was comfortable just leaving everything in God's hands, the Great Physician. Don't wait, it won't go away but it will kill you. I had a double hernia fixed 6 months turning the 3 hr procedure into 5 hr, but all good. Mine was maximum size for this procedure to remove in 1 piece, Dr said it was larger than a tennis ball. I never had any issues but get a regular 6 month checkup. I'm 78 and started the checkups about 30 years ago, always been healthy. PSA number creeping up until my family Dr made me see a Urologist. I had a lot of choices, I went with my Drs pick, glad I did. So listen up guys, save your life. Only downside limited to 10lbs for 3 months, it will pass. I did it, so can anyone of you.

I’m glad you’re doing well. I had the same surgery a couple years ago. It’s a relatively straightforward procedure and the recovery is pretty easy.

I know some guys are nervous about having this done but putting it off might be the worst decision you ever made…or didn’t make.

Dave.

I had mine removed along with a cancerous bladder. Takes some getting used to but hey I am still here to bitch about it.

Wishing you the very best, Jeff.

Great advice about the seeing the Doctor, especially when you get up in age like us.

There are so many procedures that know are basically “preventive medicine” that so many simply do not take advantage of and can not only prolong life, but make aging more livable.

May have missed it - what was the reason for the procedure?

 

[Steve Donlon]

Thanks for the heads up. It seems we all need something done to us as we get to our golden years and it's always the 10lb. limit no matter what they do. It makes be worry some times when I go over the limit. I hope it's just a guide line.

 

[Bill Norris]

Heal fast Bro. Prayers.

 

[JumboSammich]

Praying for a full recovery. I'm glad you saw your Dr and got fixed up. Hope to see you in the spring. Mike

Prostate cancer, no issues. Regular blood test PSA numbers told me I had an issue.

Ouch, looking at that xray hurts. I hope they fixed you up in a very positive way.
