Hi Thala,
I had the op on 16th Dec 2016 and this is what I wrote in my on line log:
Have never leaked at night but kept wearing a pad in bed until April 2017 when I could have stopped in February.
5th June 2017, Stopped using incontinence pads. After a failed experiment in late May I decided on 5th June, almost 6 months after the op, that the rarity of leakage was such I should risk not using a pad.
6th August update: Only had two slight leakages, one associated with bending and lifting and the other seemed like I'd left it a bit late but in both cases it was negligable.
In February 2018 am completely dry except for one occasion. Amazingly my urine flow is enormous when I go to the loo, and I can hang on if I need to go.
In October 2018 if I leak at all it's if I bend over to say take off a shoe when I get home. Although I'm usually wanting to go.
You might think this a little personal but some people have reported including myself that there is a slight wetness at the onset of sexual arousal and this for me has continued.
I haven't been regular at doing Kegels although when I do it has seemed to make a difference.
Normal Incontinence Progress
A piece on a website said at first you're dry in bed and deteriorate through the day. Over time the deterioration slows so you might be dry in the morning but wet in the afternoon and then dry all day, or at least relatively dry. Most say 3 - 6 months for dry, but not everyone
