I am 63 years old and had Green Light Surgery on Dec 12 after being on Flow Max for serveral years. I was a bit conserned with the comments I had read on several forums but concluded you only see the bad comments . I had a young Dr that had preformed Aprox 700 of these surgeries and I trusted him . I knew it would not be fun but I wanted relief form the constant sense of urgency and getting up at night several times. I was willing to accept retrograde ejulaction with assurance that in would not reduce my pleasure. I was in the hospitial one night as I had alot of bleeding . I had a cather for the time I was in the hospitial. When they removed the cather I was able to go right away with a fair amount of bleeding and moderate discomfort. I was on antibotics and stoolsoftner as you dont want to get bound up at this stage of recovery.I had burning in the head of the penis   After the fourth day of taking it easy ( I was kind of tired) the bleeding became MUCH less and only at the end of the stream . The ugrency was worse than before the surgery and I still had a lot of discomfort when going and just after for about ten min. Stream was disapointing   One Week out the sense of urgency improved alot as the Dr explained the blatter needed time to adjust and the prostrate is just a little pissed at you (no Pun intended). Bleeding was just slightly at the end of stream and the stream was much stronger . Mornings erections returned and I waas getting friskie.   Day 12 Things are greatly improved .Did not get up once last night and stream is very strong. Very little discomfort left and no signs of bleeding. Ask the Dr about sex and he indicated that when I felt comfortable enought doing it it would be ok . I will take the plung soon .   I am very happy with the results of this surgery . Any surgery has risk but it is a matter of Risk to reward and So far The rewards are great . Also with any surgery you need to give the body a chance to recover . I still expect some small amount of bleading for several months . Different people recover at different rates . Good luck if you are anticipating this surgery and dont listen to all the Negitive stuff there is lots of good results.
