It took several months, but I eventually started urinating like I had a water hose. 

Unfortunately, the prostate continues to grow. HoLAP is usually stated as being good for 7 years versus a TURP which is usually 10 years or more. I am approaching the 3 year mark after my surgery. My stream is slower than it has been. But I can still completely empty myself. I still sleep all night without having to get up and urinate.

I did not take any meds other than antibiotics. The docs had me try FloMax, but it did not help me at all. I would prefer to have laser surgery rather than take meds.
