Surgery Day Is Here! | Post Op Day 1-3 

I cannot believe you’re standing up same day. I watched someone else’s RU-vid this morning and her experience was awful, to the point I was like - I don’t wanna do this!!! And you went out for dinner??? Omg!!! I hope my recovery is as good as yours!!

You are a champ! I haven't seen anyone so strong after a hysterectomy. The video helped me alot. I'm having my hysterectomy on une 11th. Thank you!

Thank you for all of this. I have two large fibroids that are making me look pregnant and causing me symptoms and I’m glad you did so well. I’m gearing up for my surgery too.

In the hospital currently - from my hysterectomy You have been a life savor thank you

I am going in on the 21st December for an abdominal hysterectomy. This video really helped me feel less afraid and more positive x

Yay Lisa, you’re doing so well! You can get through the recovery with the Tylenol and Advil, most stoic people can. The gas will pass (🤣pardon the pun) and your soreness will too. You are healing! So glad it’s over now!🤗

So thankful everything went well! Continued prayers for a speedy recovery! 💕 Grateful for you that your hubby is a super nurse! Blessings all around! Thank the lord! 😊

So glad the surgery went well. I had the same partial hysterectomy in 2009. My doctor didn’t want to send me into full blown menopause so left my ovaries. I had fibroids. I had nausea and mild pain. Prayers that you continue to do well.

My surgery is tomorrow...thank you for posting these. They've helped put my mind at ease.

My surgery is scheduled for tomorrow. Super nervous. Thank you for sharing

So good to see you beautiful! I’m glad all went well and that you’re recovering nicely. Way to go Shawn! 😊

Glad surgery went well and that your recovery is going well so far. Sending positive vibes and prayers your way.😊

You're such a strong woman! Love it! Blessings on a speedy recovery!

I’m 6 day post op. My husband had Covid so friends took me for surgery, stayed with me afternoon of, and brought me home the next day. My incisions are rather high, so I haven’t had problems getting up and down. We are in middle of a winter storm so my walking is strictly inside the house. Thanks for video.

Glad to hear you’re surgery went well:) my daughter had a radical hysterectomy & she was in a lot of pain , she had cervical cancer stage one . Merry Christmas 🎄

Lisa thank you so much for sharing your journey! I just had the same procedure done 5/3/22 and all went well! I haven't taken any narco neither. I just alternated as well with Ibup and Tylenol. Thank you for calming my nerves. ❤

Praying you’re feeling well! I’ve been waiting for this! ❤️

Glad you felt well enough to do this, which is a great sign. When I had my tubes tied, the gas pains hit me 2 days later, but they were all in my shoulders, of all places - felt like somebody beat the HECK outta me with a baseball bat! From what I understand, that's because a lot of times, the gas mainly "settles" in your shoulder area after surgery. I will keep this short so you don't have to read much (very unlike me - LOL). But wanted to say I hope your recovery continues to go smoothly and quickly. And yes, "the innards running smoothly" is always a good thing in this type of surgery, and I can totally empathize with the worries you had about that, had those myself several times. And happy holidays to you and Shawn, your families, and or course Ranger and Zoey. You bring so much joy and companionship to my life all year, so you ae gifts!! Socially distanced hugs and healing light being sent from New Jersey!

I have been praying for you. I know you are going to feel so much better! You have such a great attitude & such a good support system with your husband. I am happy for you! :)

Thank you for all the information you are so positive I think that's why the operation was so good to you. And all the work you put into healing. I'm so glad I found your Channel you have a positive outcome on the surgery and a positive outlook on it. So what helps the rest of us have to have surgery to feel better about it thank you for sharing.

Thank you for vlogging your journey..it has helped ease my nerves some but still very nervous. I have my little care kit ready and now 20 more days and it will be all over.

I'm happy that where I live your allowed to have someone stay with you during surgery

You did it! Praying for a speedy recovery and everything to go smoothly. Rest and relax - merry Christmas and happy new year!

Glad to hear your surgery went well, and hoping your recovery is still going as smooth as possible! Belly binders are amazing, it was a lifesaver after my c-section surgery. Happy New Year to you & Shawn!!

Happy Christmas and quick recovery Lisa🎄❄️☃️ sending you hugs

Hi Lisa! I’m so glad you are doing so well after your surgery. I pray for a speedy recovery ❤️‍🩹

Thank u for this inspiring video. We’ve set up for me to stay 2 -3 days instead of an outpatient. But I am so ready.❤

My thoughts and prayers for with you my dear I'm so glad to see you've done a speedy recovery. I'm so happy you're doing this video. Have a wonderful Christmas you guys. Sincerely Diane Thomas

My doctor scoped my bladder too. Left catheter in overnight because of getting lots of fluids during the night….I was afraid it would hurt taking catheter out, but it didn’t. I haven’t had burning that you mentioned…Only problem I had was bad nausea afternoon of surgery. I need to get up and walk a little. Day 6 post op

Hey Friend! Glad to see you!! Surgery Sister for life ❤️

So thankful everything went well! If you want a more natural way to handle “bm's” you could try drinking prune juice or even take magnesium. I have to take magnesium daily so I can go to the bathroom. Keep up the good work on recovery, looking forward to the next vlog!

You look and sound wonderful!! Thanks for the update - I've been thinking about you. ❤️❤️

I've actually been wanting to do this. But I've always been scared. Watching this vlog is actually helping me alot. I'm so happy you are doing good. I wish you a fast recovery. N I cant wait till u can do a brick video. I hope you n Shawn have a great Christmas n a Happy New Years

I am POD 3. They also did a cystoscopy on me. I feel like my urine is not coming out as strong as before. I also have the sensation that there is something in my vaginal canal. Belly area feels painfully numb. Hoping all these strange sensations start to go away. Thanks for sharing your experience

Hi Lisa, so happy to find out that everything went fine. Take it easy, wishing you a speedy recovery. Wishing you and Shawn a very happy Christmas

I am so glad it’s going smoothly for you! Also, that’s great news that they could let you keep your ovaries. I had mine removed and the biggest struggle has been dealing with medical menopause. It’s been 4 years, so that part has adjusted pretty much. Did they comment on what they saw with your endometriosis? They gave me photos afterward. (Kind of ick).

Your videos are so helpful thur your journey.. it helps ease my nerves which is in a week. Still getting my pre-op kit ready.. but I’m so ready for this to be over!

Nice to see you healing so well! Merry Christmas to you both!

Continued prayers for a speedy recovery. 🥰

so glad you're doing well, wishing you a speedy recovery

I'm glad I came across your page I'm suppose to be having my surgery the 12th my anxiety is freaking me out I'm 37 with a 19 and a 2 year old I'm so scared!

Thank you for posting this! I'm so glad you're doing good. Merry Christmas!

I'm so glad this is going so well for you!

Hello Lisa. I am glad you had a nice recovery, I am doing a bit of research before my surgery next July 8th. I am lookig for the Pre - Surgery drink but it looks like it is not available in my country and it is out of stock in Amazon :(. I just have a question, how long did you bleed? Is it a heavy bleeding? I am a bit scared about not be able to pee and the gasses but your video is helping me. Thank you

Thank you this so helpful. I’m having this done in 51 days, due to terrible fibroids

I just had a hysterscopy and I go back on Oct 16th to set my date for my hysterectomy and Im so excited 2 large fibroids and clusters of them

I’m day 3 post op. Had a TLH + BS and I’m feeling pretty sore. The gas pains are real. Haven’t taken any norco, ibuprofen feels sufficient for my pain.

I'm thankful everything went well for you. Please get rest and take it easy. Keeping you in my prayers. Merry Christmas to you and Shaun and your fur babies ❤💚❤💚

So happy to hear you are doing pretty well for what you have gone through!!! Love to you my friend...take it easy..Merry Christmas!!! :)

Thanks for sharing your experience, I will have my surgery February 9th

You are so lucky to keep both ovaries. I wish I could have kept even one, I didn't want to say in pre-op comment in case you had to lose them, but when we lose all estrogen is when our body speeds into aging...our heart, our skin, etc. I didn't want to trigger that in my body so young. Heart is #1, but also undo all the proactive anti-aging skin care I've used and paid for? LOL...ugh. We can take HRT, which I am, but of course extra risks also added with that so keeping both is awesome. Losing ovaries is really the only concern. Keep those, you just get left with 100% benefits after procedure & 100% positive.

Lisa glad you’re well you will have a Happy New Year now that some stress is released keep smiling 😊

Hope all goes well 🙏. Merry 🎄 🎅 Lisa & Shawn & Fur babies.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

You’re awesome and I appreciate you sharing!

Rest and take care of yourself . I'm glad everything went well .

I watch all your hysterectomy video's coz I will have my surgery next month, thank you

Good to hear everything went well hope you get better soon have a nice xmas

Just seen your video I'm getting ready for my full hysterectomy Monday morning at 5:30 am ( today is friday) nervous as a cat on a roof full of rocking chairs on a hot sunny day.Not only am I having full hysterectomy I have prolapse organs and they are lifting all those back in place.You are awesome and watching your video helps to assure me all will be ok

Thank you for sharing I wish I had seen this before I had my hysterectomy. I am 4 days after and home

Speedy recovery Lisa.

Were the belly binder and wedge pillow given to you at the hospital?

Oh Please🙏 why you didn't talked about the most important thing which is the first shower and how your bands get wet or what you did about that?!!!! 😭

I'm soooo happy I found your videos! Been NEEDING to hear the journey of someone real, ya know? I am getting quite nervous, as my radical hysterectomy is scheduled for early May. I need the surgery, but I heal so slow and it's been like pulling teeth to get the docs to answer my questions. I am scared about popping stitches and not being able to have bowel movements. I don't know if it's bad to ask, but is post-surgery sex...doable? Painful? I know I was told to wait at least 5 weeks.

You seriously need to take it easy and no lifting. Let people wait on you.

You look great but seriously, please rest. I tried to do too much after my hysterectomy and paid for it later. It's hard when you are used to doing so much. Merry Christmas to you and to Nurse Shawn.

Thank God ,the surgery went well.

Oh wow! you look great compared to some other videos I’ve watched. Did you have a catheter?

Why can I not find any stories on vaginal partial hysto?! I'm watching every hysto story I can find to try to figure out what to expect and what I will need afterward and I feel like no one has had a vaginal hysto, I know that the vaginal procedure is fairly new but dang, am I the only one that's going this direction? Lol My best friend is going for her partial hysto October 4th but they are doing it by abdomen. My dr chose vaginal for me because I'm having a gallbladder removal during my hysto procedure and she doesn't want me to have 6 or so incisions in total. She also said vaginal is a quicker and easier recovery.

How are you doing? Have you experienced any body changes or weight gain after your hysterectomy?

Thanks so much for posting this, girl! Very informative. I'm actually getting surgery soon, too. I am wondering if you could explain more about what it was like to get put to sleep? This is the part that freaks me out!! Like, what does it feel like? How do they do it? What does it feel like when they put the stuff in, like do you get sleepy or is more like wide awake to instantly out? Could you have stayed awake if you would have tried or is it impossible? Haha. Basically whatever you remember about that part would be helpful. Thanks so much!

So glad that everything has gone smoothly so far. If you don't mind sharing, how long did they keep you on the blood thinner? Hope you have a lovely Christmas and continued good health.

So glad your surgery went well.

I just got hysterectomy 2 days ago, I came home with catheter and have to keep it in for 10days because surgeon accidentally put a hole in my bladder. I have not passed gas yet or had a bm

🌞🎊💛☺🎉✨ so glad you are doing well...!!its such a relief💝 Merry xmas to you and your family🌲

You had it easy. I was in the hospital two days. It could be because I hemridge but I was up and walking soon I came back my room because I couldn’t lay down. I walked the whole hospital but I had a catheter in but they never took it out until late the second day. But it was crazy I drove myself to the hospital and my mom came with but she left my car with me. So I went off my pain meds the second day That much and I didn’t have a belly binder

Yay I'm so glad you did well!! You look great! Not that you don't always lol. I love like ish after surgery. 😊

I can't believe you went out to eat...I wasn't up to that the 2nd day

Yay for a successful surgery! Glad you are on the mend!

I had gas pains when I made my c section and that was painful. They said not too eat anything spicy which I did and I regretted it

Hi I just had Surgery yesterday on August 16, 2022 I wanted to know what is the belly binder? By the way you look amazing!

My belly binder helped me when I had my c section.

I have a gynecologist appointment may to see if this is next step. Six years after my ablation I have bleeding one day out of the month for a couple hours and I had brown blood oncs... so werid

You had no jaw bruises. Both sides of my jaws are sore & bruised. Today was 1 week.

I go in the morning for mine. Have to remove a 19cm cyst also and they are leaving one ovary hopefully depending on scarring.

All the very best ❤️

Did you take any Scentsy to the hospital? What did you decide on warming when you came home? I was hoping your first thought out of surgery would be to ask the staff if they want Scentsy...lol glad everything went well. Merry Christmas.

Hi Lisa, I'm going into surgery soon on Monday 4th July 2022, they told me I'll be in hospital overnight, may I ask how long u were in hospital for, what did u do to recovery time an how much pain were u in? Talk again after my surgery. Cheers Tan

So glad your doing better

Just listening to this with my headset while working from home 😂 my 🧠 literally pictured a cartoon figure giving a pep talk to a bladder 😂 glad you are doing well.

What belly band did you use? I will be having surgery in 3 weeks

My pre op call is October 17th and surgery for partial hysto and gallbladder removal is October 24th. I have seen in several other videos that some ladies said they had to do a 3 day liquid type cleanse before surgery. Did you have to do a liquid cleanse?

How was your experience and reaction to general anesthesia, did you have a sore throat? Please advise. Tks

Merry Christmas to you all

Hi I am on day 5 on my laparoscopic hysterectomy, Have problem going to the bathroom 🚽 💩 not feeling good

Thank you!

What is that drink? Having my hysterectomy in about two weeks and they haven't mentioned anything about any drink.😐

Hi, what did you eat prior and after surgery?

What type of hysterectomy did u have, abdominal, laparoscopic and how big was your uterus

Thank you for sharing 💗
