Thankfully it wasn't cancer! 🙌🏻 I ate dried prunes and it really helped me go to the bathroom. I also used a massage gun on my hips and back that helped tremendously!! U will have a lot of gas! Walking around slowly helped. I wish anyone getting this procedure done the very best. God be you! 🙏🏼😘

@@kirstyallan3078 I had a hysterectomy(laparoscopically)a year ago. I have ZERO REGRETS. Of course, everyone is different. As far as pain,I was in far more pain (fibroids (20😬) horrific bleeding and cramping) before surgery. I didn't take pain meds aside from ibuprofen. She's absolutely right about constipation;you REALLY want to avoid it. I used Traditional Medicinals Smooth Move Tea in addition to a stool softener and it helped exponentially. My recovery was great. Don't overdo it and it's really easy to do! Make sure you have someone at your beck and call essentially. You might not need them like that,but you don't want to find out otherwise either. This video is super informative per my experience. Do yourself a favor,get a heating pad and a neck pillow. Depending on how you sleep normally, you might not be able to. I'm a side/stomach sleeper, so obviously,I couldn't sleep normally. These really helped me be comfortable. Hope this helped,stay safe and heal well💕🙏

I had a hysterectomy on Nov 14 and I had no pain after I. I took 1 pain pill the night I got home and took some gas x for the gas but other then that I had no pain. I cooked a full Thanksgiving meal and everything. The hysterectomy was the best thing for me. Today has been 3 weeks and I am still pain free. I have been avoiding lifting heavy things but this was the best decision I have ever made. My doctor said that I was very strong and even during surgery he noticed how strong I was. My incision healed fast but I am experiencing a little scare tissue but I had 3 c-sections and had a lot of that so I did expect that. I went in to surgery with the mindset that I not gonna allow this to put me down. I spoke strength into my surgery and recovery. Good luck to anyone having a hysterectomy.

You cannot possibly give TMI! Women need to share this stuff. I am day 6 after laparascopic total hysterectomy; the pain from surgery was negligible but the pain from the gas and the constipation floored me for almost 2 days! I had my postop check yesterday and the nurse laughed and told me this was very common. Why didn’t they explain beforehand? I am walking around but feeling really tired, achy and pathetic……….that somebody as fit (and young) as you felt tired and achy was something that comforted me. I am normal, not pathetic.

@@lynettealston6283 hang in there. You have had major surgery and it is traumatic. No surprise that you feel bad. With ovaries intact you should not have an instant menopause - that is good in the long run. Gentle walking for the gas pain, with pain relief as you feel you need. Remember, take it early and take it frequently. And don’t forget some laxatives; the constipation sneaks up on you and will make you feel bad as well as anxious. Be kind to yourself and give yourself time. It will get better and feel more natural. Mother Nature always needs time. We are all here and got through this. So will you.

I haven’t finished this video yet but the part where you mention how it can take up to a full year after surgery to feel normal is so true. My first surgery was in 2015 for gallbladder and I never felt normal again. A year later was appendix and endometriosis related. A few months later I discovered hernias where 2 of my gallbladder surgery ports were. Had those ‘fixed’ in 2019. Hysterectomy is booked for a few days from now and I will need to go back later this year to fix hernias (previous surgery failed). The whole “take it easy” thing is no joke at all and I wish someone would have told me that feeling ‘normal’ could take longer than the 6-12 weeks so I didn’t overdue it because I ‘should have been fine’. Thank you so much for sharing that and I hope someone hears this and it saves them from any further complications!

I had one two weeks ago, the referred gas pain (in shoulders and chest) is the worst (almost worse than the incision, in my opinion). Gas-X and stool softeners until you are finished with pain medication and have bowel moments - highly recommend miralax as well! Use a rolled towel up against your stomach when walking and when using the rest room until you feel more comfortable. You will do just great! Have a good support system the first week/week and a half at the very least - Good luck!

*Hello beauties, I'm 2 weeks post surgery. I had a Total Abdominal Hysterectomy and not did it hurt!!!! I'll be honest in saying that after 6 days no bowrl movement I WAS IN AGONY. The gas pain hurt me too. I stayed on top of the water intake increased & a stool softener. When it finally happened I honestly thought I'd won 7 lotteries!!!!*

I'm still feeling hormonal ( I kept my ovaries) but my hormones still feel wonky. I dont feel quite like me all the time and my exhaustion still comes and goes.

@@gameingpro3788 yeah… I hear that a lot. That happened to once with a surgeon as well, and frankly some doctors too are just shitty. I had a psychiatrist who prescribed me seroquel and after a week on it, it sent me to the hospital because it gave me heart arrhythmia and I lost consciousness and passed out in my bathroom. My husband found me in the morning and thought I was dead. I fell on my right side and cut off blood flow to my right leg which caused massive muscle death and Rhabdomyolysis. I was in there for a week to make sure my kidneys and liver didn’t get overwhelmed. When I had my next appointment my psychiatrist at the time responded to my experience like “oh yeah that’s the most common serious side effect for that medication, happens ALOT.” I’m like, that would have been nice to know a head of time to look out for that particular issue… Yeah.

I'm thankful for a surgeon who cared. My nurses cared. My primary care doctor sent over a physician to check on me, who worked at the hospital. He hugged me and wished me well as he left and I was being dismissed that same day, he also recommended I was ready to go home after two days in the hospital. I'm glad everything worked out. I removed my ovaries as well. My doctor advised against hormonal replacement it's been said to be connected to different cancers. Also, ladies I'd you have ovaries do know that now that you don't have your tubes there's no way to tell if you come down with ovarian cancer. The tubes is what alerts you that something is wrong with your ovaries. Without it, she generally won't find out until stage 4 that her ovaries are stricken with cancer. By then of course it's too late. Please talk to your doctor. I just dug deep with my questions and my pc is absolutely brilliant and very transparent. You're never lost with him.
