Steve,
My first suprapubic was a 14F, but they went to a 16F a few days later because the smaller one got clogged up. They probably should’ve used the bigger one from the beginning.
Sounds like you’ve been through hell like the rest of us. It’s odd how we all ended up here differently, but now our experiences are so similar. I’ll update my progress on here after the surgery. My surgeon said mine is much simpler to perform than a urethroplasty, but the after effects are similar in a lot of ways. Just a shorter duration of catheters afterward, and probably less swelling because of the short surgery time.
