I got the bigger implant last week and I've been trying to find support. I keep requesting on the facebook page but they haven't accepted my request. I'm trying to find others for advice and support. Thank you so much for these videos. They have given me some encouragement.
April, I’m so glad to hear your implant is working well and your doing good. Thank you for sharing your journey and the information about the b&b community. It has helped me greatly. I got my permanent implant almost a month ago and it’s improved my quality of life as well. Best of luck to you and your family. Cassandra
Thanks April, i am just at the start of my journey just waiting for the trail faze to begin. Just watched all of your videos and they have given me the confidence to go ahead with the implant. Thank you for the advice and where to get support.
Just stumbled across your videos whilst trying to find reviews on Interstim and Axonics. Been to the hospital today to be told my neuromodulation is going ahead after a 5 year wait and over 20 years of bladder issues. Pretty much exactly as you were before you had yours done... Im 50. Im torn to which one to go for and swaying towards Axonics for the smaller size but the issues with yours and the time to get it right has made me wonder if maybe the Interstim would be better but its bigger and comes with more kit to carry around. Glad to hear yours is finally working better. Im very excited to have got to this stage and may finally be able to have a better quality of life and not have that anxiety and feeling of panic that you will not make it to the toilet. I drive everyday as part of my job and its a nightmare having plan my joirney around services and sometimes having to stop inbetween and running into shops and pubs to use the loo.
Hu, which one did you choose? I'm in between Axonics and Medtronics I'm not sure which one, is for urinary retention, we are planning to go to USA for this procedure and pay cash just don't know which one will be better
@@andrecancol hey, i went first the Axonics in the end. Had an MRI Friday for a final check. Just waiting for a date for surgery now which could be 5th April, 3rd or 15th May. Cant wait to get this sorted and change my life 😁
@@andrewjohnson1535 but why did you choose Axonics instead of Medtronics? Do you mind sharing why do you need the implant? And are you getting in USA what state?
April is this Bladder and Bowel card only offered in foreign countries? I have never heard of this being offered in the United States of America before.
It’s best to avoid any physical activities for a minimum of 6 weeks while the wire settles and the wounds heal. There are some sports which should be avoided as they can cause damage to the implant and wire. Your axonics specialist will be able to tell you all you need to know x

Hi, this wasn’t offered to me either but was told about it and found it online. You apply for it yourself, it’s been a life saver for me 😊
@@aprilmiles1541do you think Axonics is better than Medtronics/interstim?
After implant can i do sports ?
