Thabk you!!! I'm do8n same next week except 8 also having 9varies out - total open abdominal hysterectomy with removal of a similarly large mass with a long vertical incision! Thank you sooo much for this!!!😍🙌‼
God bless you Barb! May Jesus protect you and guide the hands of the surgeons for a perfect execution! I declare you healed and restored in Jesus name! You are so loved! 💖 Let me know how it goes!!! Lots of rest, good sleep and healthy food is the key 😉
I think it was 2 nights, almost 3 days. Bring earplugs, slippers and blindfolds, rooms are noisy at night. You can do this!!!! take it easy and eat healthy! God bless you! 🌈🌺
Best video on here, my abdominal hysterectomy for very large fibroid where I will be having a verticle incision, is next month I am so scared. I read that the uterus holds your posture in place and your shape and posture changes when the uterus ligaments are no longer there. Did you experience this?
Not at all. My posture is same as before. Nothing really has changed besides no periods. Don’t read too much info or you’ll drive yourself crazy. You’ll be fine. I’m happier now. Smaller tummy. No bleeding. I workout and do everything is as normal like before. Leave it in Jesus’ hands and He’ll take care of you 💖
@@ddl4374 I'm from NZ but it was easy. It was a big cut, my surgeon said my uterus and fibroids was one of the biggest he's seen. It was so big I had to have a verticle incision with staples. I woke up in recovery and the pain felt like a very bad period but they got the pain under control in recovery. I had injections into my surgerical wound twice a day for pain relief for a few days and then straight to panadol. They were amazed. I was up walking up and down the corridor the day after surgery with my catheta and drain. Because the uterus was so big I had alot of bleeding into the drain but they controlled it. The surgery was easier than I thought and the nurses were amazed at my recovery. If you rest and do a bit of walking as suggested every day you'll be fine. The waiting was worse than the surgery. I rested for six weeks and got a new job two months later. Am loving not having periods, I have my life back. I have a scar but it' s getting better already and he suggested bio oil and was amazed at how well I have healed when I saw him two weeks ago. My advice, get a good surgeon and good anaesthetist and don't believe all the horror stories. It's the team of people in the operating room are the most important and how well you will rest.
Absolutely the bloating feeling is the worst thing ever!!!! Then the other thing is having your drs office tell you hey, we can’t an won’t give you anymore pain pills 💊.. they are afraid I’m going to get hooked??? Are they serious rt now? My guts have been ripped out an I’m dying here and they are afraid of me getting hooked?? I thought if you don’t give me something for this pain someone will get a right hook!!! I completely understand that ppl abuse them but I know my body and I know my pain level in which I can tolerate. I don’t think the state should over rule a doctor!!! I advise anyone who is facing this surgery.. spend sometime strengthening your core cuz sister.. this isn’t fun!! Prayers to all a safe surgery and recovery 🙏✝️💪
Yeah that must be really really tough without pain medication. What town/state are you in from? It’s true, very important to strengthen your abs, your glutes and your tighs before the surgery. You can’t use your abs for the first couple of weeks. You shouldn’t.
Thank you for sharing your experience. I have my appt in Oct to schedule mine, if I make it that long. Trying to lose a bit more weight, but can have it any time if bleeding gets too bad for too long. Been fighting PCOS and fibroids pretty much since I was 17. Now almost 54. Looking forward to getting it over, but very nervous too.
Thank you so much for this video, your video is extremely helpful and informative! I have had 2 c sections myself and surgery makes me very scared..I will ask them for anxiety meds beforehand. I'm scheduling my surgery between Dec and January.
I had my visit with my Gyn. They have dediced to move forward with trying to do the Laparoscopy but if they find it necessary to do Abdominal they will move in that direction .My surgery will take place I'm end of July .I can't eat a lot because I'm having a hard time with my bowel . So I'm going to stay on fruits and Spinach until surgery . I really appreciate your videos . You are Very sweet and nice
You are a sweet, beautiful woman. This is the first video I've watched of several on my list and now I'm afraid the rest will pale in comparison. I very much appreciate how real and honest you are. My husband and I are empty nesters and your advice on showering at first and how many days I'll need someone with me is especially helpful. I wouldn't have thought to ask to take any undies home. I hope my hospital here in the states offers those too. I'll be sure to eat healthy, rest, and pick up juice and tea, but only drink clear liquids up to 4 hrs before surgery. Thank you so much for sharing everything!
I’m two weeks in , I been so sad depressed, doing this alone 🥺 I’m experiencing breathing, and my legs hurt .i have no pain just stuffiness and sadness 😞
I can’t exactly remember as that was 3 years ago but I do remember taking a shower the day I got back from hospital, so about 3 days after surgery. I don’t think I removed my own bandages. Please check with your doctor about those things. I wouldn’t touch the incision area unless directed by a doctor.
Good morning, great video,today is three weeks, 3 days after my surgery and Iam still having some difficulty using the washroom and gas issues. Sometimes just before I go, I will feel my lower abdomen twisting up and gas pain in my buttocks. Oh terrible.
I’m glad to hear it’s encouraged you Elaine! 💜 I just prayed for you!! Jesus will Lord over the surgery and guide the surgeons’s hands and I declare full and speedy recovery over you and full healing and restoration ! In Jesus name!! 😇💜 🙏🏼
Thank you so much for this amazing and helpful video💚 I am waiting for a call for my total hysterectomy surgery. I have severe endometriosis type 4 combined with adenomyosis. I have been struggling with great pain, extreme fatigue and bleedings for almost a decade. I already had 2 surgeries. I tried for a baby but it was very difficult. I am so scared of my surgery but with this video and the love of god I think everything will be ok. Thank you for your kindness Kristina and for helping us with this video! I wish everyone the best and also a speedy recovery💙
I’m sorry to hear about your troubles....Keep praying and seeking the Lord. Jesus is your ultimate healer, He is the great physician.. your creator and daddy!! 💜 I know how much He helped me during the surgery and after! My recovery was extremely fast! All because of Him!!!
Thank you so much for telling about your experience. I just had my surgery yesterday. I had so much gas in my body.sharp pain especially on my shoulders. 😩 The first day for me was terrible. I took some charco pills to help with gas. It really helped. I stayed one night at the hospital. The second night I slept home upright on my bed. Massage and hot pads on shoulders. Lots of hot tea. Light meals for first days.
Thanks for the video. I have a hysterectomy scheduled for January 2021. I will be recovering alone without help. I will be talking to my doctor to get tips to recover alone.
Mary, I understand you may not have anyone to help you but you NEED someone there at least for first 3-4 days after you get home from hospital. You can’t even open the fridge door or hold a full glass of water by yourself for the first few days. Please find someone to help you !! God bless you and I pray your surgery goes well!! 💜🤗
@@laingmaryann Hi - I am just now seeing this. Did you have the surgery? Hope all is well with you. My 6 weeks post op appointment went good (it was on Jan 15 2021) I was cleared to start exercising but to take it slow. I’m feeling pretty good. No more gas, I am sleeping great & I can sleep in any position. I am still going through the healing process, so I am taking it one day at a time. I’m using mederma advance cream to help my incision heal.
Good Morning Sunshine girl, I'm walking slow and shaking off the post op blues. Just wanted to take time to tell you Good Morning and thank you for your strength and optimism. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-d-diB65scQU.html
Thanks so much. Going end November and I am scared! I never had children so dr said he might have to stretch the ligaments a bit... and I am scared of the catheter, heard its painful when they take it out🙈
Catheter does NOT hur! lol. Don’t worry about that at all. But everything else I said is the important stuff to prepare for easier recovery. Don’t watch too many videos, they’ll just scare you unnecessarily. go in confident and prepared.
day 8, your "little juggle/wiggle made me smile and work. Not much energy only lost basket but thanks to you get around a bit, slow process, I find prayer and meditation so helpful. I have two wk check up 5th. I'll be back with updates. You are a source of healing for all.
@@kristinaelliott8335 Energy is coming back slow but sure. I have been up all day and its almost 2pm, I wake about 2 am? Sleep is off, but I am dealing with it. Yes you were so correct about having help the first two weeks. My Daughter has been a true Champion. I am so grateful for your insight and common sense approach to healing, and for your courage to reach out and help others. May God always keep you safe. Raina and I send you our happy Thanksgiving wishes and will send an update when I am at the end of week 6 . Can't believe it got here so fast.
@@bonnieclark2249 I hope you’re doing well and moving around and finding normalcy back in your life and routine. You’re blessed to have such a loving daughter looking after you 💜 I pray for your full recovery, healing and restoration and for God’s love and blessings to flood you and your household. 💫😇
Hi Lovely Lady, Well 23rd is the day. potassium low so may have to wait until it goes up. This is like taking a rocket into the universe. So glad for your clear amazing and heartfelt concern for women. ;)
