Re: Pre and postop size difference

I have to weigh in about surgeons doing the stretch text.
Just because Dr Eid does it to ease one's mind, doesn't mean he takes that into consideration for sizing you.
Sizing by a competent surgeon, must be done on the operating table.

Re: Big difference between surgeries

Did they have to replace everything? Maybe they were afraid of contamination? It seems like just replacing the cylinder or cylinders would have done it.

Re: Sava Perovic Dr Kim Korea

Mildly aggressive sizing can give you a small gain. I gained about 1cm (.4").

Re: Now, I have kidney disease.

Today, they inserted some saline into my bladder via the catheter. I was asked to hold it against the urge to pee and didn't even feel the removal of the cath. I peed most of it out and was sent home. I'm to drink lots of water so I can urinate, I think that will go all right.

New labs on 6/13 show GFR at 36. It was 35, but at least it didn't go down.

Re: Now, I have kidney disease.

Thanks Tex, I'll get over all this eventually. I just saw part of the news about Stetson hat company. I bought a pair of Tony Lama boots a long time ago in El Paso.

Re: Now, I have kidney disease.

Sounds encouraging. I peed last night at 6:30 and when I tried to pee at 11:30, nothing would come out. I kept trying and we finally went to the ER at around 3:15. They fooled around and I got very uncomfortable and I tried peeing again. No dice. FINALLY they took blood and put in a catheter. They c...

Re: Now, I have kidney disease.

Holy Cow tomas1, one doc says this is good and another says it's bad. All you can do is trust the doc you're dealing with and hope you picked a good one. Salt is included in so much food now days it's surprising your sodium level is low. Balance is the key, and you're right, that's tough. Hope next...

Re: Now, I have kidney disease.

I'm betting you'll start seeing gradual improvement in the next several weeks. I'm really hoping that will be the case. I probably expect improvement too soon. Next labs next Tue, 6/13. I hope I see some improvement. One great side effect of my new lifestyle is my BP has never been so good. It' in ...
