Had my three month PVP post-op check-up today.  Actually it has only
been 9 weeks and 4 days.  I still have retro, but other that that, I'm
a happy customer.  The possibility of retro going in was 50/50,
because of a very large medial lobe up into the neck of the bladder
and somewhat beyond.  Since I'm 73 I was not concerned about retro.
All I wanted was no incontinence or being impotent.  I don't have
either of them.

The flow numbers with a full bladder are as follows:

                      Pre-op           1 month              3 months
Total volume     126 ml             238 ml                293 ml
Q max             6.9 ml/sec       17 ml/sec             22 ml/sec
Avg. flow         2.7 ml/sec       10 ml/sec             15 ml/sec
Bladder retention   66%              33%                     11%

The doc is happy with the numbers, as am I, will do a 6 month check-up
with a TRUS for prostate size and a cystoscopy if I still have the
retro.  He still thinks the retro may correct itself in the next three
months.  If it doesn't, I may pass on the cystoscopy since it doesn't
bother me and my wife enjoys it, no mess for her.
