Yep I'm in that group and early afternoon today I'm getting a Urolift procedure. My urologist (a female no less!) will be inserting a tool up my crank and that tool also includes a camera, to insert four "stitches" (it turned out to be 8 stitches!) through my prostate to spread it open so it won't keep pinching the urethra closed and pushing on the bladder creating urgency. That is what makes it a bitch to pee, hard to completely drain the bladder, and makes it so you need to pee multiple times night resulting in poor sleep and waking up tired. I had a previous procedure called a PAE (prostatic arterial embolization) which helped but not much. This Urolift replaces more OMG procedures like the TURP which has lots of issues and side effects. The best thing about this is it really has no drawbacks or side effects so if you're a member of the BPH club, do check into the Urolift.
So I'll come home late afternoon with a frigging catheter and bag which I can pull out tomorrow. I cannot wait to get this over with. I'm told I'll be like a new man in 3-4 days. Did I say I cannot wait to get this over with? Plus I'm already getting a bit cranky since I can't drink anything like coffee or eat anything this morning.
