Angie, I want to thank you for taking so much of your time to share your story with us. i have not had a hysterectomy, but my gynecologist says I should have one.
I truly appreciate your honest testimony. I will be having a total hysterectomy and vaginal reconstruction surgery sometime in the next 2 months. I have been feeling so sick and exhausted. I even had to quit my part-time job. I just want to feel healthy and like myself again. Your video here is from some time ago, but I certainly hope you have totally recovered. Thanks, and God bless.
Thank you so much for sharing your story! For a year I felt like I was losing my mind over the last year with the pain from post ablation syndrome. With lots of trips to the ER for pain during covid and pushing the issue with my gyno doctor I am finally on the waiting list for a hysterectomy. Your videos are inspirational and give me hope! So happy you are doing good and enjoying life💜
Thank you for these videos. Very helpful! I am 4.5 weeks post op and am so happy I did this. I asked my dr all the same questions. Embarrassing but I needed to know. Glad all went well for you.
Angie you made these videos for you and me. About the time you had your hysterectomy I was getting test done and later DNC (Dec 10) .Just found out Monday a week ago that I have adenocarcinoma. Friday talked to the oncologist I will be having a full hysterectomy January 19th ( overies. , fallopian tubes) . Your frankness about everything has helped me tremendously. Love you Angie
Hi 👋🏼, I am so happy to hear you are feeling better and healing well! Thank you for explaining your experience throughout your journey; this is truly helping me before my surgery in February. I also suffer from pain and cramping after sex which makes it less pleasurable. I hope and pray 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼 I will have the same outcome. Blessings to you and your family~ Merry Christmas 🎄.
Thank you for making this video. It makes me feel not so alone in this! Btw, I about fell out of my chair when you said your age. I'm usually very accurate with people's ages, but I thought you were late 30's, MAYBE early 40's!
Thank you Angie and others for your info! So glad you mentioned about the protein! Had the same surgery, I’m 3 wks post-op been bleeding since day 10. Went to ER, has CT scan. Couldn’t find source of bleeding. Had silver nitrate twice and still bleeding. Any other ladies have this experience? When did the bleeding stop for you? Please share. Thank you!
Sharing for other ladies living this post surgery and have a vaginal cuff. At the 3.5 week mark my doc did a pelvic which I didn’t expect until week 6. So, if your doc suggests this pre surgery I recommend taking Tylenol to help w the tenderness . Also , at that stage they saw a lil opening in my cuff so put silver nitrate which stings !!! So , if you think you’ll get that applied I suggest taking 1/2 a pain med vs just Tylenol esp if you are more sensitive . Just sharing so you are prepared and not in pain !!! We all got this
Im on day 12 after my TAH, Im watching your video as Im feeling very down today and cant seem to see the point where I will feel much better. Im up and walking , Im eating ok and drinking plenty. i just feel.. down.. Im 49, Ive got adult kids. Tiredness is another thing Im really struggling with, I am so beyond exhausted.. :(
I’m so sorry. Things will get better. You will start to feel like yourself again. I hope you feel much better very soon. I’m sorry you’re having a hard time and I’m sending you a virtual hug.
Hi! I had a total hysterectomy almost 4 weeks ago. My first two weeks I felt I was healing and walking good. I was off work for 2 weeks . When I went back we had a training and was sitting for about 4-5 hours. Since then I and not been the same. I managed to work 4 days that week but left early the last two days because I began experiencing pain on my lower abdomen and it would just hurt to walk. The only comfortable position is laying down. I’m afraid I damaged something or over did it. I searched online that sitting up right on a chair will put a lot of stress on your core. My doctor has been out of town for a week so I can’t even call her.😟
Thank you for this video. Im 6 weeks post op hysterectomy. Your video helped me mentally :) i dont have spotting anymore, it ended after 3 weeks post op too but i have discharges but not much… spots only… white to yellowish. Is this a normal discharge? Did you have this. It has No smell at all.
Thanks for your video. I am preparing for hysterectomy. I don’t know if I will keep the ovaries since they both have endometriomas. But I am worried about the sex part.
Hi Angie, thank you for being so open. I am day 11 and have begun spotting/light bleeding at day 9 and in tears bc I had this hysterectomy done due to heavy menstrual bleeding. Was your spotting very heavy & how many days did it last? I read things that say it's normal and also that say it's not. Thank you. 🌺
Mine lasted for almost 3 weeks. I was healing slowly. My doctor had me increase my protein to help with healing. So I started drinking protein shakes for about a month. That helped me. I hope you start to feel better soon. I feel very well over a year later now. I’m happy I had my hysterectomy.
@@AngieWade Thank you for replying and being encouraging. I see my surgeon in two days, so I will def mention the protein shakes! Love your videos & look forward to more! :)
I am 2.5 weeks out and have started having heavy bleeding as well. My Dr is out so I go in tomorrow but I’m nervous. Thank you Angie for the videos. It really helps when you don’t personally know anyone to talk to about these things.
