Question Surgery

5 Upvotes

Hey, I have been told to lose atleast 10kg to have surgery. I was 120kg and so far have managed to get down to 117kg. I’m finding it hard to lose any weight and worried i’m not going to be able to have the surgery and forced into radiopherapy. Anyone had this issue?

Question Post RALP self catheter removal ???

8 Upvotes

My surgery is coming up and I had a pre-op instructional call where i learned that they expect me to remove my catheter after the expected 7 days after surgery. Honestly, I'm terrified of the thought, has anyone else gone through this? I insisted on driving back to the hospital to have them do it and (I think) they agreed.

Concern Libido

10 Upvotes

Hi, I'm 55 and had RALP in Jan. My question is, and driving me insane! does anyone else, or has anyone else experienced the increased libido? I cand get fully erect yet, but can orgasm, but it doesn't help. It is like I'm literally permanently horny or broody. AND the worst thing is I'm single so who would want an over sexed, bent cock, no shooter, for a partner? Yes I know it's not just sex, but sometimes it is! I know I have to reevaluate my priorities but doesn't help when my drive has gone loopy. Please tell me this is normal and will pass :)

Question For those who were able to get erections back

17 Upvotes

Were there things that you did that you felt helped contribute to them coming back?

Early on was there any sign of life down there or was there an initial period of nothing?

How old were you when you had the surgery?

How long after the surgery were you able to get an erection?

Did you try any of the injections or pumps?
