My surgery was almost 4 months ago, but I ran into a little hitch. I healed so well at the place where they spliced me back together that some extra scar tissue developed which caused an obstruction and thus difficulty urinating. But I had another procedure to
open up the urethra and, after two weeks with a catheter, it was removed yesterday and so far I am feeling pretty chipper.
I've got a very minimal bit of leakage when coughing or sneezing or whatever, but I think I'll be able to adjust to that pretty well with a 'panty-liner' or two every day. Life is good!

I had the same problem and the same proceedure to
open the restriction. In my case some of the scar tissue reformed as is fairly common. It's still better and the pain I had formerly is gone. Wish you wll.
