    BPH (enlarged prostate) Diagnosis

    Had Aquablation this past Wednesday. Was in the hospital recovery for a few hours and went home. No issues, very little pain. Had Catheter in until Friday morning. Removed it myself (very easy and painless process). The only hiccup was I couldnt void for almost 7 hours. Actually went to the ER...

    BPH (enlarged prostate) Diagnosis

    Two of the three Urologists I went to do the procedure as Outpatient with Catheter out the next day. In fact, my surgeon said I can remove the Catheter on my own so no need to return to the hospital the following day.

    BPH (enlarged prostate) Diagnosis

    Went to a top BPH surgeon on the East Coast- Dr Bandi Georgetown University. Said my prostate was too small for HOLEP. Recommended Aquablation. It will be outpatient with Catheter out the next day. He scheduled me for May 1, so I can enjoy my summer!

    BPH (enlarged prostate) Diagnosis

    I have a cystoscopy next week for BPH symptoms. My prostate was only measured at 32cc. I've done a lot of research and would like to do the HOLEP also, but not sure if my prostate is to small for the procedure. Started Alfuzosin 3 weeks ago with limited success.

    New procedure called Optilume BPH Catheter System

    The good thing is its non-invasive, so hopefully you can have it multiple times if needed

    Vietnam/Thailand

    Definitely doing SE Asia. Watching videos of some of the First Class and Business Class seating makes it very tempting especially given the length of the trip. Will have to see how much more it is.

    Vietnam/Thailand

    Thanks everyone for their responses. Will probably do Vietnam/Thailand since I have been to Europe twice, although many years ago. Can do Europe later. Plus as mentioned having a person familiar with the two countries to show me around will be very nice. Any thoughts on the long flight (15+...

    Vietnam/Thailand

    Was invited to travel/vacation with a friend and his family to Vietnam/Thailand next November. Amazingly, he actually came to the US from Vietnam in 1970 on a small boat. He still has family and friends in Vietnam. Was going to go to Europe next summer but am now thinking of going to...

    Colonoscopy, which prep?

    That's the prep I had. Wasn't able to get it all down. As a result, I wasn't totally cleaned out and now have to go back a year later.

    Colonoscopy, which prep?

    I've been putting mine off because of the dreadful prep medicine. Just saw the former baseball player that died from colon cancer at 49. Plan to call next week to schedule. Hopefully I can use the tablets instead of the disgusting liquid prep.

    Electric Vehicles - Models Discussion

    I didn't see mileage requirements on the lease deals...maybe it doesn't apply to EVs. Also, always heard it was a bad idea to put a down payment on a lease in case the car is totaled in an accident. Anyone know what the approx. monthly payment would be on a no down payment Model 3 Tesla lease?

    ok thanks. Wasn't sure how they would verify your current income but it sounds like you would just self certify and than pay back rebate if you dont meet.

    What if our income exceeds the 150k threshold in 2023 but will be below in 2024?
