My Hysterectomy Recovery: Day 2 

You're welcome! I said a little prayer for you. You got this!

@@sutherntwang4283 Thanks sis. From your lips to His ears 💖

I was a nervous wreck on my surgery. But just know that they put u out so fast and u wake up and it seems like it happened so quick.

My daughter had lupus and yes she was tested so many ways

I'd advocate for the vaginal. I think the recovery will be easier than being cut that much (like a c-section).

Did u have a MRI? I'm trying to figure out why they need a MRI for me. I didn't have one the last surgery. I just want to know what I'm walking into. Are u okay? What did they do to prep u for surgery? Is the Cancer all gone? I pray it is🙏🏼

@@sutherntwang4283 with vaginal, do u run a higher risk of getting prolapse

Hey Monique. I'm glad I was able to help. I hope that you will have someone to help you through the first few days. I pray that your surgery is uncomplicated and that your recovery is swift.

I have my surgery 4/30/19 , I’m like you had 2 c-section & fibroids . I’m so scared but it’s for my health . Praying you have a great surgery & recovery as well 🙂

Also did any of you feel something plopping around the second day or so? I figured it might be other parts tring to get settled.

Monique Cayton Have you had surgery yet? I wondered how everything worked out given you had a fractured tailbone at that time. I wish I had seen this post much earlier so I could caution you to wait until your coccyx had healed. Being mobile after an abdominal surgery is going to be hard enough. Anyway, I hope all went well❤

@@boujiebarbie3198 Hey, I've been denied the surgery, until end of October, to see if my tailbone will be attached before the cut, so far my tailbone is still not 100% but praying that this October will be the end of all this abdominal pains, heavy floods and very uncomfortable times... Looking forward to a painless 2020

Cruella D April 22nd prayers for u all goes well love

Im having mines April 18th too. Prepping my eating habits now. Soups & salads

How did it go? Was it a partial? Any complaints

Melissa, you should be feeling much better now 1 week post op. How's it going?

@@sutherntwang4283 So Far Just Sore No Pain, But I Am Concern About A Part Of Where She Cut Being Swollen. I just realize it was swollen Friday evening, so I'll be calling her office first Monday Morning.😊

Hey Cindy! I'm going to miss pap smears...NOT! But I feel like I should still go yearly for them to check everything out down there or something. LOL! I'm believing that your surgery will go well, and that you'll heal up quickly!

Suthern Twang Thank you so much! Agreed, no more "smears", lol. I'm still gonna do annuals, I guess.

Suthern Twang - Hey. Being released from hospital today. I stayed 2 extra days cuz I lost alot of blood. He had to leave cervix in because it was attached to my bowels. So I guess I will be getting smears after all. Lol.

Hey Cindy. Sorry that I read your message, but forgot to reply until now. I'm glad that your procedure went well. It's crazy that we live in these bodies and never really know what's going on on the inside of them, right?! I hope that your heating pad can provide you with all of the warmth and love that you deserve in your recovery. Lol!

Tresie Frazier Yes. It's called a "vaginal cuff".

Did everything work itself out?

It would probably be a good idea. I remember that gas made my shoulder hurt. I didn't know why or how it travelled up there. lol.

@@sutherntwang4283 omg I had the same issues with the pain in my shoulder. I am 11 days post OP and I am so grateful and blessed to be here talking about it.

All good

Double R03 is it air maybe move a little bit around the house be careful call your Doc

Hey Bonna, I don't have stairs. I had 4 tiny incisions in my stomach instead of one long incision and pain meds. If I did have stairs, it wouldn't have been so bad to walk up coming home.

Suthern Twang thank you for responding.

If you have stairs, were you able to walk up them after surgery?

Yep!! The gas always make me sick on the stomach.

@@sutherntwang4283 wheeeeweeee that gas is nooo joke

Yes I did

Hey. Are you taking your pain meds every 4 hours or as prescribed? I experienced very little pain unless I slept on my stomach. Did you have the laparoscopic surgery?

Yes... I've had the laparoscopy. Taking pain meds every 4-6 hours..I feel it's pain with the CO gas trapped around my abdomen...what to do for the gas?

No, because I wasn't cut open. I had like 4 laparoscopic incisions.

@@sutherntwang4283 I was scheduled for 3/24 but because of COVID-19 I am now scheduled for June. I was told it would help with the feeling of the organs moving around and give you a firmer feel.

@@sutherntwang4283 My surgery will be laparoscopic as well. I will have 3 small incisions.

Dee Dee Spinach, Spirulina, fruit (pineapple, strawberry, blueberries, grapes, etc), water, honey, a hint of Bragg’s Apple cider vinegar. It moves the bowels and gives natural energy.

I will try it. Or at least have all my ingredients ready.

I hope you're feeling better, Beatrice. That urination thing took a few days to get back on track for me. It was the after-effects of the catheter.

Beatrice Rojas I have my surgery March 4 . I had go back to hospital 2 days ago cause I couldn’t pee my bladder was fill to max talkin bout hurting n the pressure doc had put catheter n me till I go see my doc I’m hopin she can put a stint n me keep it open

I still have my ovaries, so I'm not in menopause. Everything is good.

Why did they remove your ovaries?

Did u have to do an MRI? What will I have to worry about with hormone patches

Hey Coressa. I'm glad that you found the videos useful. In my juice: spinach, water, honey, blueberries, raspberries, pineapple, peaches, etc, and spirulina.

Thank you, so much, we are getting things together, so I want have to do anything, but rest.

I wouldn’t. You’ll still be on pain meds with a bloated stomach.

@@sutherntwang4283 thanks. You know we women think we are super women

@@Miss_DaBLE-Oh-7 I went back to work one week after surgery against my doctor’s orders. Worst decision ever, I ended up taking the following week off to continue resting/healing.

Tracee Bottoms I pray it went well and your recovery is speedy.

BeautifullyCreatedByYAH thank you!! It’s been one week now and I am starting feel better each day. I stopped taking my pain medicine because I felt light headed/dizzy. It’s hard for me to get comfortable because I am side sleeper but I am truly thankful to GOD that everything turned out good.

how did your surgery go? Mine is 9-14-18 Im scared lol. How is the sex, weight etc.

GWEN WILSON tomorrow will make a month and I have lost a couple of pounds. My stomach doesn’t protrude like it use to. I haven’t had sex. Your doctor will tell you to stay away from that for awhile. I just started driving just a couple of days ago. I am having a hard time going to sleep at night. I mean I don’t go to sleep until 3, 4, 5, 6, am sometimes, when I go back to see the doctor I will discuss that with him. I have started to do some household chores. No heavy lifting. I have accidentally picked up something that was heavy and you feel it. Just try to get as much rest as you can. I do spend a lot of time just laying around in bed. If you have any other questions don’t hesitate to ask. I pray for a successful surgery and a speedy recovery.

@@traceebottoms3498 thank you so much !!!
