I will be getting my replacement AMS 800 AUS in November 2024 at Cleveland Clinic by Dr Angermeir. My first one was installed by Dr Montague in 2011 so I had a good run of 13 years.
The questions I have is healing process, it has been so long ago I don't know what to expect.
I know I will have NO BLADDER CONTROL - so back to the pads I presume 6-8 per day. I remember not having much pain but not certain with how the replacement will go.
Any of your input of either putting a new one in or especially how the replacement went.

Thanks

I had mine replaced at the 4 year mark. Recovery experience was pretty the same. Although not recommended by my urologist, I got back to distance running at 3-weeks post-op with no negative effects.

I kept a journal during my first go round. You can read it here: https:// http://www.codecooker.com/projects_misc/aus/aus_report_2019.pdf
