Hi everyone,
Got home today after having my Hyst on monday. They took everything. Ovaries, falopian tubes, and Uteris. The doc said before surgery that he was thinking of keeping my ovaries for the estrogen issue. But he could not promisse that I wouldn't get any cysts. I told him do what you think would be right.
He opened me up, and from what I understand was a mess. My Uteris looked like it went through 2 or 3 c-sections, yet I never had a c-section, I had some Endo, I had Adhesions, and my Ovaries were enlarged. So he took everything out and of coarse sent things out to get tested.
as I said I went in on Monday and was released today which is friday. I am tired, I am sore, it hurts. But hopeffuly I will be normal soon !! I am on painkillers, I am also on Estrogen Patch, also on Multi vitiamins and Calciam Pills.
To everyone out there that has been through this or is going to go through this !!! It will be ok. It is very important to take care of your body !! You only have one !!

Hey there, I know what you are going through. I had my hysterectomy on Monday May 2nd. I was in the hospital for 6 days, so this is my first week home. They also had to take everything on me also, but I can't be on hormones, because they could not get all of my Endo.
Things will get better. I am very sore (they cut me belly button all the way down). I am all new to all of this, but I will try to answer you anyway I know how. How old are you? I am 26. I hope you do okay!!

Glad to hear you are back home. I am now in my third week of recovery and doing ok. I kept my ovaries but everythingelse went. I had good news today from my gyno surgeon who wrote me that my path report did not show any significant problems and I will see him in a couple of weeks for a post op check up. He has looked after me very well. Have to say that despite the discomfort from the scar and swelling, I am enjoying being pain free and not have the worry about pads/hygiene ..... just hope it stays that way.
regards to all

Gas pain ........ really hurts. I found I could not lay in bed for long as the gas and BMs felt trapped. Walking round really helped..... i guess gravity takes effect. It has got a lot easier in week 3 but still do not like to sit or lie for too long. I am still not doing housework except for a little bit of washing pots and light dusting but DH is taking good care of house and laundry so I am lucky.
My scar irritates me. I had stitches and it seems to have scabbed over in a couple of places but in others it is still red and "unhealed". I think maybe I am taking longer to heal up as I have a factor 8 blood deficiency .... and just generally run down I suppose.
good luck to all

I know...GOD I HATE THAT GAS PAIN !! It is worse than labor.
I know this is only my first week and sometimes I feel like superwoman...I can do anything. I have to stop that. I went to get my mail and my mail box is at the end of my driveway. I made it down ok...but almost didn't make it up. I got scared..I was not feeling well and hurting. I have to realize I have to take it easy, but I tend to get bored easily, and hate sitting around.
I hate these staples, they realy bother me. I am getting them out on WED. I can't wait.
Hope everyone is well, feel better.

Hey Lady! welcome home! I am glad to hear things went "fairly" well....but I think it was the best thing to do in your case....sorry to hear about the "new" pain, but I'm sure that will pass in time!! (hehe)
I know what you mean about being restless...when i was in the hospital for 6 days the last time (gall bladder) i kept getting up and asking the nurses if they had anything for me to do!! they would just laugh and tell me to take a walk! maybe you could do a puzzle or get a couple good books! but take it easy, whatever you do :nono: recovery is important!
I hope all the rest of you start feeling better soon as well....you all take care!!

Well, my mom's angiogram turned out fine...they didn't have to do anything more for her, so she's just on blood thinners for the leaky valves and will have to have checkups more frequently I guess. She is happy since she is planning a trip to Italy next month and didn't want to miss it!!!
My friend with the big cyst had a lap done a while back and they removed her left ovary and tube. She was in a lot of pain and constant bleeding for a couple months after and had been on two or three BC pills, but seems to be getting back to "normal" with the pill she's on now.
As for you, keep resting and healing and make sure you have a good supply of percocet!! ;) I sure hope this is the end for you!! Take care!!
