Oh, DD...

So last night was an interesting experiment...

I'd love to as a urologist that question, lol, but I don't think that's gonna happen. When I was hitting the gym hard, I would come back from 1-2 week vacations and lift the same weight I had when I left. On a couple occasions, I had injuries sideline me for a month or more, and I'd still be back at full within a week. It's only when I've been out of the gym for extended periods, ie 6mo or more that I really lost a meaningful amount of muscle mass. I suspect the bladder and sphincter muscles are similar and that's why the author titled it a 12mo program. Since you're relying on atrophy, a lot depends on how fast you become able to stay relaxed. A lot also depends on how fast you begin true night wetting, as your muscles will get their workout while you sleep until that happens. MDL

To the original intent of this thread:

I put a PUL mattress cover over the mattress, but that didn't help with having to change sheets on the rare occasion that I leak.

Brian, I'm curious about contours for all the same reason, so I'll be following this thread to see what others have to say!

I said when I started this that my case would be flawed by the fact that I'd been having issues prior to starting...

Pup, Somewhere in his "what to expect" thread, Blake talks about how he does things one-handed as his condition affects use of one of his hands. You'll have to do some digging as that thread is long, but it might be exactly what you're looking for. You might also try PM'ing him... MDL

Sorry for the long delay between updates this time 'round.

"Zero Valves" is not completely achievable shy of surgery.

Pup, on the question of bowel incontinence being required for the success of the 12mo program: I don't think so, but I think that might vary by person, and more specifically, with individual bowel habits...

I had to wade through a pop-up or three, and the site is in French, but the clip is in English...

@dlmike35,

My ex was ok with it when we met.

Bettypooh, you give some of the best advice on this board.

There's been some really good progress this week , and some continued frustration .
