What should I expect during robotic prostatectomy recovery?

You will be fine. I had my Robotic Prostatectomy surgery on June 19th. The surgery went very well. Don’t overthink it. The recovery is to be expected. It was sore and leakage was different. Had my surgeon to order pelvic PT which helped tremendously. My post psa came back at .01 from a 4/3 which is great. I was spared on side of nerve and my sexual feelings has returned. After this 2 months I am on my way to recovery. I’m so glad that I chose this option. Have family member or better half to be on this journey with you. Take one day at a time. You will continue to get better day by day. Don’t be afraid to ask questions. This will save your life. The process is worth it in the long term. God Bless and remember to take care and get the rest but get up and walk as soon as you can. You will feel better day by day as I do. I just started back teaching middle school this week and attending Norfolk State College Graduate school this week also. Best wishes. You will be fine.

God bless you and thank you

How it going Wesley? Are you out of hospital yet? Praying for you. Holla Back!!

Just got home. Sore as expected. Catheter for week. Thanks for asking!

Amen Yes. I had the cat for a week also. A little uncomfortable but can be manageable until they take it out. We are frat brothers now for life. Things will feel better day by day. They kept telling me that and I was hesitant at first to believe them but they were right. Recovery is within reach. It is very much better. Take your time. Keep me updated.

I absolutely will

I go for my MRI September 12... What is the worse case scenario?

September 3rd I get this thing out and a follow up test end of the month. Worst case scenario is cancer is still present and doing radiation treatments

Feeling much better today though Keep me posted on your MRI

Catheter is out!!

That's awesome... mine is still in...

Updates?

Gleason 3:4=7 Grade 2 Decipher score .52 Doctors recommended radiation or surgery. Didn’t recommend active surveillance due to family history. My Robotic- (auto-correct changed that to erotic—ha ha) Assisted Prostatectomy is scheduled Nov. 10th. I’m following your journeys and recoveries hoping for the best outcomes for all of us. Courage!

Absolutely. 10 days out still a little sore but otherwise ok. Wearing depends however. Lol

I've realized the main issue post prostate surgery is constant discomfort. Be it constipation.. periods of pain. Incontinence.. and the obvious ED. Hard to describe.. just uncomfortable

Hey Wesley. I Went through the same post surgery issues. I’m Here to tell you that with time it’s gets better. Two and a half months and no incontinence or constipation issues. No more depends. The pain inside is gone. Make sure you perform your pelvic exercises. I went to a physical therapy and it’s helped tremendously. Hang in there. Recovery is around the corner for you. Blessing to you.

Update friends. Recovery is gonna take longer. Started clotting badly to the point I had to get a catheter put back in.. Will keep you posted

🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽

Sorry about the set backs, Wesley. Hoping you get improvement soon.

57 yrs old psa 10, half the samples from biopsy came back with most common type of prostrate cancer. Gleason scores were 3+3 and 3+4. Robotic prostrate removal recommended over radiation due to age and good heath. Very active lifestyle currently. Trying to determine best course of action. Waiting for pet ct scan and bone scan. Thoughts?

Kevin. Sorry. Been dealing with a lot recovering from prostate surgery. What have you found out since this last message?

Thx for responding. Hope you are feeling better. Had pet and ct scan today. Bone scan in two days. Nothing else to report. Waiting on these results to determine if surgery on Oct. 16th is still happening. Thx again. How goes your recovery

Just long road. Sore.. went back to work... 2nd day in.. incontinence is absolutely crazy as my activity has increased. Post op psa test is October 6th to discuss if they got everything.

Wesley please keep us updated. I am trying to decide between Ralp and radiation.

Junior K , what is your age
