No you didn’t. I had that done about three years ago, and it was very rough for me.
I was not prepared for the recovery. For most people it goes smooth, but for others it’s several days of catheters.

If I had it to do over, I would seriously consider doing the urolift.

I can’t say for certain if I have experienced the effects of too much oxalate. Probably because I don’t gorge in any particular oxalate rich food.

Have you noticed ill effects from too much chocolate?

I’ve noticed if I add powdered Vit C to my smoothie or water, I feel lousy the next day. I never thought it was the Vit C, but it is a very potent oxalate crystal precursor.

Funny, OTOH, adding lemon, natural fit. C, to your water apparently inhibits the effects of oxalates.

I did have urolift. It worked great for a couple years. But, (there's always a but) since I was blessed with an extra lobe way up right at the bladder that couldn't quite get stapled perfectly we knew from the get-go that I might need further surgery years later, it's now years later.

Ugly looking thing, a bulge like a giant tongue in a too small mouth.

The advantage of the green laser is it cauterizes as it goes, limiting bleeding. Catheter out in 3 days.

They'll cut loose samples to check for cancer, should have results for Christmas...

There's no such thing as too much chocolate.
