AUS surgery...was it successful?

I am a good candidate for a AUS implantation so I am told....I am trying to decide if i should have this surgery after being incontinent for a year and a half. Would the community be so kind as to help me make this decision? If you had it done are you happy with the results and any advice in moving forward? Is there anything you know now that you wished you had known before the surgery?

Thank you!

Mark

I do not know anyone, personally, who has had this surgery. I hope that someone in our group here has and will provide you with honest insights. Whatever you decide, I wish you all the best. These decisions are difficult to make.

Sometimes, you can ask your surgeon if he/she has any patients who would be willing to discuss their experience with you. It might be only positive experiences, but it still will give you some insight.
