- Victor was on of the first patients to have Aquabaltion surgery in Arizona. Hear his story and see how he did. He is such a cool guy and a straight shooter.
Dr. Mehan was the first to offer Aquabaltion surgery in Arizona and the entire South West in 2019. He has since performed over 200 cases and has one of the largest series of individual cases in the United States.
Awesome Victor!! I am feeling the SAME way - just 3 weeks post procedure !! Aquablation is a life changer for me ( in Atlanta ga )
Thanks for sharing your comments. My aquablation procedure is set for three weeks. The more I know, the less I worry....
That is awesome. I just set an appointment for a consultation to get this done.
strait shooter. I like this guy.
No pun intended?
@@davidjaeger492 lol
Im gonna ask my doctor about getting this done👍👍👍
Hello, I'm contemplating Aquablation Surgery now.❤❤.
Im getting it too Had the same chronic UTI s. On flowmax now,which is great,but Im ready to retire and want to be free of meds.
I had this done a year ago and side effect is Retrograde ejaculation . Why the best doctor in the region could not prevent the retrograde ejaculation ?
I understand that a very small percentage can have that.
@@americanazheck Less than one in ten get it...
I know this was 9 Month's ago (I guess), I was watching the GreenLight Laser Treatment / Procedure on this Channel. I have a question for Doctor Mehan, or someone whom may know. Does the Size of the Package make any Difference as to how difficult the procedure can be? IE, Being a bit shorter than what it was in the Past. Thank you in advance.
My urologist first made sure my urethra diameter was sufficient for the robotic instrument itself and the post-surgery catheter. He stuck a scope in there in an office visit to check that out and examine the prostate and bladder neck. I am not particulary well-endowed but the surgery was very effective.
Wed afternoon - surgey
Thur afternoon - release from hospital with catheter
Fri morning - catheter removed in doctor's office.
Drank a lot of water for the next week to flush things out. No pain. That was on Nov 1st. I feel terrific. I'm 71.
@@yaneznayu9997 Thanks for the Feedback, I have another Appointment to go over my Blood work up and see what's what. My PSA went up from 1.9 to 2.05 on this yearly Physical exam. I'am just not sure of any Issues with any Cancer at this point. And, If the GreenLight Laser treatment is performed, will it Interfere with Prostate Surgery down the road? Thanks again. I'll be 70 this Feb 2024.
Good luck. That PSA sounds super low, though as I underrstand it, it's not widely seen as a relaible marker for cancer. Mine was 3.5 and went to 7 once due to a UTI. if I ever get prostate cancer, I'm just going to have the hollowed-out little fellow removed.
The doc asked me if I cared about ejaculation. I didn't give a crap as long as erections and orgasms weren't affected and told him to bring his biggest apple corer. He said he could remove more tissue this way and at my age I wouldn't have to worry about regrowth.
@@yaneznayu9997 With all these Newer Technologies that are available now day's It just amazes me that the System don't want to just do what's right? "IE" do the PSMA / PET scan, get the best Information available and let the patient do what's right for them with the Doctors guidance? I think at our ages, the Insurance companies just want us DEAD. I don't think they even care often times. I been Paying Into this system since I was 15 years old, that's 55 Years of TAXES and such, I feel I deserve the Care! And they should just give us the treatment that we paid for all this time we were working and Paying into the "System"! Hopefully if things go right, we will be around for a while longer. Ya never know. I had a Heart Attack 3 Years ago with No Symptoms at all until BAM, It hit and I was Lucky to have the good doctors that Helped Keep me around for my Grandchildren !
As of 2/7 the day of my surgery, I have been out for 2 months with pain and on UTIs and running to the restroom which sometimes I don't make it. I don't know now if it was worth it or not. Please people do your homework before getting this done. I may lose my job over this. I was not counting on being out this long. My sex life is non-existent now.
Have you made any positive progress?
@@Bonesmcgreeny 50/50 Going to the restroom got better but I sometimes stop urinating out of no wear. Blood clots get stuck sometimes if they are too large.
@@Aceman-rz8it How are you doing now?
Glad the dude is happy with the results. I believe Im a candidate coming up by the way I pee. I was wondering what type insurance covers this. Medicare and a supplemental insurance?
I had this 3 weeks ago. Medicare covers it and my Plan F medigap covered the final 20%.
Peeing easily and normally after 9 years of flowmax. I'm 71. No side effects, trace blood i urine for 2 week. Easy peasy.
yes its covered by medicare i just had it
