Hey Dalton, I have been out of it since last October. A gangrenous gall bladder nearly did me in. Doctors missed it and saw only my kidneys and bladder being infected. then the gall bladder erupted and they were vacuuming out my guts again and again. But that not the reason I called, only why I haven't been in touch with the TM group. I have to tell you the Lyrica is the only drug I take and it does a goo job of controlling my spasms and leg jerks. But my banding still does it own thing trying to squeeze the life out of me. I see you are using three drugs now and I will see if I can get my PCP to proscribe them for me. I would like to hear from anyone who has retraction problems. You know, when the penis retracts its head like a turtle and disappears? I use a condom catheter after numerous bladder infections and the retraction of the penis causes the catheter to come off, a pain in the ass for the wife to replace and expensive. Also has anyone had a permanent catheter installed? Jim, 65, on Kauai
