Had hysterectomy 3 1/2 weeks ago and going through exactly like you at this point minus the fever. Saw other KZfaqrs who seem to be like life as usual at this point. Was thinking to myself holy crap, what’s wrong with me. But then your video came up and I feel so much better thank you. Went through two weeks with no bleeding, then I started to sweep, do dishes, and fold my laundry because I was feeling a little better. Then I got a pale pink discharge when I wiped in the bathroom and I was terrified. The reason I got the hysterectomy was all the hemorrhagic bleeding I was getting from fibroids and endometriosis. So to see that color for the first time made me sick to my stomach. Going to listen to my body. Doing lighter chores, and taking the next entire day off on the following day to repair. Don’t want to go back under the knife. Thank you for this video it’s everything.🥰❤️

Thank you for your honesty. I'm in my 4th week of recovery. This is a reminder that even though I feel fantastic, I need to slow down and rest.

I am exactly where you were in this video and you REALLY helped me! Thank you ❤ I hope 6 years later your life is all you hoped it would be after your procedure. I’m 57 and had everything removed with the same method as you. Thank you for this video!

Hi Blair thank you so much for your videos and for sharing your experience!! I am 5 weeks post up and oh boy am I praying and hoping there is light at the end of the tunnel...lol!! I was doing so good the first couple of weeks I started doing things around the house like cooking and cleaning... I couldn’t wait after the two weeks so I could jump in my car and start driving again cause I was getting so bored being stuck at home all day I was DYING to do some shopping! Well, let me tell you I REGRET ever doing that so soon cause I have NOT been the same since! I feel like all the walking and being on my feet for long periods of time has done some damage cause I’ve been in so much pain and discomfort these past couple of weeks along with some awful looking discharge which I didn’t have the first 2 weeks!! However according to the doctor I am fine and this is all part of the process...I was really looking forward to going back to work today but I had to take an extra week just to stay off my feet and get some rest in hopes of I make 360 this week and am 100% fully recovered by next Monday!!(being sarcastic) lol! Wondering how long it took you to fully recover and when all the soreness and swelling went down??

In case anyone is watching this and wanting more input. So , just got back from my check-up post surgery. All went well during surgery (had everything removed) and I am healing on-time. One note, in my case they decided to do a pelvic exam this time (I thought they'd wait until week 6) and they ended up using a bit of silver nitrate to seal one small area near the cuff. I am sharing so you can be prepared! It was painful. So, if. you THINK you will need an internal exam and any amt of silver nitrate I highly suggest taking tylenol/advil or even like 1/2 a pain med to get you through it. It wasn't horrible but it also wasnt' FUN. If you have a lower pain tolerance I suggest this even more...JUST one experience...that I haven't seen discussed too much on YT..

Thank you so much for sharing your experience. This is my 4th weeks of post-op and moving around, sometimes washing dishes, doing my laundry and sweeping. After 3 weeks I started driving just to get groceries. Yes I agree, the more things we do the more pain we have. So is best to take things slowly, listen to our bodies, and have more rest when need to.

Oh thank you sooooo much for this video!!!! I'm two weeks post-op of my hysterectomy and I am NOT moving from my bed. Especially not after I overdid it in my first week post-op and I started to bleed and have cramps! I am a control freak so for me this is hard to stay in bed while my home crumbles around me. Regardless I want to heal quickly and well so I can get back to my old self! Cheers

Thank you for this video. I’m one of those who freaks out with the slightest change. This video helped ease my mind.

I’m so glad you made this video had my partial hysterectomy in May and this video definitely help me to understand I need to listen to my body and not do so much.

Thank you for sharing your experience so candidly. Most people gloss over everything and I have no idea what anyone actually experiences.

This has really helped ease my mind. I am almost 4 weeks post op. I have cramping which started week 3 and it really freaked me out.

Helpful video 46 never would known to feel this way.Had two c cecttion.Never had experience so much pain.7 day ost up hardest thing slee pn same side really sucks.Hardest things not having someone to help. Wish mu mom was here to help me.You are bless to have family,friends you are grateful not everyone has that.Looking forward on recovery and healing.😓

Thank you so much for your videos. I'm going through exactly what you're saying went to the Dr twice he told me that the bleeding it's normal just when I started to feel a little better I'm getting those cramps and minor bleeding I won't deny that I been very active even got on my bike but couldn't 5 weeks post op and I'm so frustrated but seeing your experience make me feel at ease.

Blair hi I just had a c section on hysterectomy and I been with alot a pain and praise God for your words. everything you talk about its me. it seems people dont understand. its like ull be good in days. and how famill brings me their problems and stress. its been one week.

Omg I’m going through the worse recovery. Went to the ER twice this week and I’m at my 4th week post op. Ty for this video!!! I started hemorrhaging and had to go STAT!

I'm currently 4 weeks post op and have my follow up appt with my Dr. today. I noticed that I don't have much physical endurance yet. I cook and clean daily and sometimes being on my feet for so long with bending and picking up things, causes incision pain and some internal pain. I've been driving since week 2 because I had to. It's hard because I want to do more but can't but I know I have to believe careful so I can heal properly. I might be going to work this week or next week. I have an office job so that shouldn't be much of a problem. I haven't bled except for a little light brown spotting which Im so happy about!

I'm on my 4th week coming up on Tuesday February 23rd...I had my Laproscopic Hysterectomy on January 26th 2021 here in Central Kentucky😊I had my cervix, fallopian tube & uterus removed but not my ovaries😇

Thank you for this. 2 weeks post op and I keep having to remind myself that I need to be careful. I vacuumed on day 7 and boy was I in pain after.

Hello I'm like a couple days of being for weeks after my hysterectomy. And notice when I start doing too much walking and standing. I start to get tired and not feeling good. So I understand totally where your coming from. I want to work but right now I can't. But thanks for sharing this video.

Thanks for sharing! 😊Really helped ease some stress I was having as I had the same over doing it issue on exactly 4 weeks, scared me so much. Stayed in bed the whole next day and just did 5-10 min walks throughout the day. It’s taken 2 days to get back to feeling good again. And, I’m also going crazy wanting to get back to normal life. Learning a lot about patience 🙄

Ty for your story I’m getting ready to have my surgery in a few hours Laproscopic everything out except ovaries my doctor told me I could drive in 2 days and I would need to be up every 3 hours the day of my surgery I’m seeing a lot of doctors tell us all different things. Wish me luck I’m scared to death

How are you doing these days? Have you experienced any body changes, weight gain?

I’m mad I didn’t do this sooner. I’m 2 weeks post op tomorrow… doesn’t feel like anything was done

Thank u for sharing your story ! I’m almost two weeks post op

Hello Blair, l am so glad you are doing better. I am going in next week Thursday 30th August for total Hyst and to be perfectly honest, l am petrified. I think the reason being is l live on my own and l am worried that l wont be able to always help myself. Relying on people is not always easy, so l am listening to your story and realize the importance of a caregiver. Have a lovely day, regards Sherylee (Durban, S.A.)

I know the feeling. I am post 3 weeks. I am seriously nervous. Does this get easier? I mean seriously. I am walking and trying to be patient. I am ready to go back to working out again and get back to normal life and still I am not there

Thank you so much for your update. I am kind of going through the same thing my recovery is a very slow process like yours. I'm glad to see I'm not alone

I’m going tru that too but belly is so hard to go flat I’m 4 weeks now and still Swollen I’m having hot flashes badly doctor left my ovaries I hope you doing fine now

thank you for your honest update. really helpful

Take it easy let someone help you so you can heal. God bless

Ugh! At 3weeks 5 days. So true, fresh bleeding meant TOO much... but no one cared to help me around the house and I totally over did it. Now everyone is gone and the house is quiet. Now no one is here to cook for me.

I walked around the store with my husband and then slept for 17 hours. Good heavens.

Really appreciate watching these hysterectomy video's

Blair.....thank you for your video. I am four weeks out to the date. I am having off and on bleeding, just out of the blue. I did clean house yesterday for the first time. I'm relieved you had the same experience. Why do they tell you to go back to work after two weeks? I took it easy except for driving 86 miles a day and working the last couple of weeks but the house was driving me nuts, I didn't have any pain at all yesterday. I hope the bleeding stops soon, it freaks me out. I guess I'm doing too much. ARGHHHHH!!!!

Am 5 weeks in . Had a horizontal cut.( Lower). In got a infection using triple antibiotic on it. So it gett better.. did over do it one day , and had to stay in bed for two days 🥺. Feeling like myself now ..

Thank you so much for posting this. I myself I am right at my four week mark and I have had to go back in, wish I would’ve found this before it happened but I ripped some stitches in my new “cervix” area. The after math is horrible. To add to the boot have a question. Are you experiencing tenderness and soreness in your breast I’m thinking it has something to do with hormone fluctuations they spared my ovaries.

lovely video love thank you...

I feel your pain

What about hormones being gone , am flashing like crazy went into menopause at 34 . Hysterectomy at 64.

I'm on my 17th day ... getting bored... I do walk around but get tired I tried to sit in a chair but cramped after 10min I had to lay down ..how did you sleep? What's the best position... these cramps uugh thsnk you you look great

thanks I'm at my 3week and decided to go to work and sit what do you think

I had my hysterectomy on the 8 th of June and I am recovering from it I have a bladder infection and bellybutton infection

Thank you for the video, I'm on my three week post op for an abdominal hysterectomy and the only thing she left was my ovaries...I haven't had any bleeding. However, I was going to try and go back to work next Wednesday but I don't know if I can because I'm still having pain, and I cannot walk for very long...So I don't know if I should take 5 weeks off instead of 4 because the nurse told me I could feel good for a minute and the next feel bad...It't just hard because I'm an active person and I have to be sedentary. I get why they say the recovery time is weeks.

I had spotting the first day. After that i didn't spot.

Very helpful thnx

Were you bleeding during peeing? At 4 weeks?
