What Causes Frequent Urination Post Installation Of Artificial Sphincter?

Hello, About three weeks ago I had a new artificial sphincter installed. Prior to that I had one removed and was on a catheter for approx. 2 and 1/2 months. Since the installation, I get up about every 1 1/2 hours to pee. How do I retrain my bladder to hold more pee so I do not have to get up so often? Thanks, Gordon Austin Email: YYYY@YYYY
