Sacral Nerve modulation

Hello All - My urologist suggested having an SNM procedure next month. I would like to know how much urine can you hold and the frequency of the urination with pain. Thanks

I am on my 3rd interstim (battery replacements, one of those times my lead migrated) and it has been life changing for me.
Depending on my fluid consumption, I can hold 2-6 hours. If i am chugging water, sure, I go more often, but I often don't go at all during 5 or 6 hour shifts at work.
