- Living with a Neobladder, please share your story.
I have had my neobladder since 2017, so I will go off of my memories I know there are a lot of questions that go through your mind The surgery is not too bad but it was an 8 5 hour surgery Practice doing the Kegels now so you are used to doing it after the surgery, that is key to gaining control of your new bladder
