three month post op dr's visit

It'll probably be an overall "how the heck are you doing" kind of meeting.

doctor may start you on ED drugs if not already. Ask for samples if doctor doesn't volunteer any. also, i had to drop my pants for the doctor to look at look at surgery areas, etc. there is still no modesy with prostate cancer.

My first post-op visit with the Urologist was at about the one-month point, and I have an additional visit scheduled for three months out - in December. Because my Urologist is also a researcher with a grant from various federal government agencies, I was asked to complete a large questionnaire. I filled-out the same questionnaire when I was examined by the Physician's Assistant in the Urologist's office two-weeks after surgery and I'm led to believe I'll be filling that thing out each time I visit his office.

In addition to examining the incisions used in the da Vinci processd (no clothes had to be removed, just shirt pulled-up and pants down a little) the Urologist asked me questions about how I was feeling, etc. I discussed after-effects of the surgery, primarily the incontenence and he explained what I might expect to happen in the months ahead. I discussed what activity levels I could assume, my work schedule, etc., etc. It was a nice talk and session that lasted less than 30-minutes. The Physician's Assistant was with me for about 1/2 hour prior to the Urologist joining us, and she did a lot of the paperwork and explained many things to answer questions I had - thus the time with the Urologist was more concentrated and that discussion was for things unresolved with the PA.

I also had blood drawn for a CBC and PSA test - oh, yea - and I gave some urine for a test.
