No harvesting e-mail addresses for Spam;
No insults or flaming - be polite and respectful at all times and understand that there may be a variety of points of view, all of which may have some validity;
Opinions are OK, but please provide as much factual evidence as possible for any assertions that you are making
Failure to abide by these simple rules will result in the immediate and permanent suspension of your posting privileges.

Kev, did they not tell you that it takes time? You have just had really MAJOR surgery. Apart from all the bruising and trauma, your sphinctre mechanisms have been altered. It took me 3 to 4 months to get really dry. Some people take longer. I'm now really confident at parties and bars where I drink too much, but sometimes if I laugh too hard or stand up drinking too long, a little squirt can come out.
I have said before that my uro told me that, sphinctre wise, after the op, we are built more like the girls. But we will still hold our pee better than they do!
You will be dry first of all lying down. Then you will be dry sitting but will leak when you stand. Then you will be dry standing but leak when walking. Then you will be dry except when you are jumping, laughing and drinking alcohol. And then after all that, you will be dry.
