Moved Up Prostate Surgery
Going under the knife tomorrow and it seems 90 days has passed in a heartbeat. I am ready to get this show on the road as I moved it up from Jan 22nd to Jan 4th. Wish me luck, guys, and a good outcome!?

You'll be fine. Even with nerve damage or loss you most likely will have feeling it's just that your nerves may no longer be able to tell your dick get erect. Oh wait, you already have that eventuality covered.

Re: Moved Up Prostate Surgery
Good luck, had the same robotic surgery 2 1/2 years ago with the same gleason score. Have had 2 years of 0 psa on checkups and no issues except for no erections with out using trimix. I am one of the unlucky ones that gets substantial pain with Trimix and am considering an implant. I was 66 when I had the surgery and it was pretty much a piece of cake. Just be positive and behave yourself during recovery.

Best wishes. You are well ahead of those of us who lost size and knew nothing about implants when our prostates were hacked out. Far far ahead of us. Heal well buddy.
