I had the robotic hysterectomy exactly 6 weeks ago today. I have had no problems at all. No pain after surgery except maybe 1 day with few cramps but nothing major. I was already in post menopause so didnt have to take any hormones. Experience better than I expected.

At 60 I went for my Pap, and they happen to find a large mass which they thought was a fibroid. Had ultrasound and MRI everything showed benign and when they went in there, it was this humongous benign mass coming off my ovary adhered to everything in my abdominal cavity. Luckily they had decided to go in through my C-section scar, but she took everything because they did not want to take any chances and I am OK with that. I was already on estrogen for menopause. It’s just crazy with us. Women have to go through.

Thank you Judy. I am facing this surgery as well. I’m concerned about recovery so thank you for your guidance (I’m 64).

Thank you for filming this. I am 46 with a 9cm fibroid and will be scheduled for hysterectomy shortly.

Thank you so much for making this video ! I’m thinking on doing it but I’m worried about what’s next .. your video is good and the way you explain is so calm and nice .. 😊

Thank you for sharing! I will be 40 in June 2023 and I have no children. I was diagnosed with adenomyosis. The pain i experience during my cycles is excruciating and i also have pain 1 week before and after my cycle. I loose a lot of blood and am severely anemic. Ive had to have 2 blood transfusions. The only thing that makes me hesitate about having a hysterectomy is not having a child. However I just dont see it in my future. I dont even have a boyfriend. Been single most of my life. I hate that im on the fence about this decision because of a hope to have a family one day. My pain is just so terrible.

Thanks for sharing Judy. It is important for women to understand these things. 🤗❤️

I’m 63 & had full hysterectomy 4 weeks ago as preventative risks since receiving confirmation of Genetic disorder. My mom has had 5 cancers & have several relatives also having cancer and joined genetic clinic for diagnosis. My recovery is going well but certainly feel lazy. I’m glad I listened to my Dr. I only took pain meds for a few days, drank lots of water, fibre drinks, Gatorade & took CBD oil under my tongue as well as used essential oils on my tummy to reduce gas. I bought a support belt at medical supply store which really helped. I look fine on the outside so hard for people to accept I’m still in recovery at week 4! I really miss soaking in my tub and hope after appointment with surgeon coming up soon will give go ahead

Hi Judy. I'm 52 and I just had this done 1 week ago. They removed everything including my ovaries. Recovery was definitely worse than I thought it would be which surprised me because I am an active and fit person.

Hey guys! Something I didn’t mention was 9years later my ovaries became cancerous. FYI

Hi Judy, I’m 49 and my doctor is really encouraging me to get a hysterectomy due to bleeding long periods of time and they are very painful and awful. I am scared out of my mind. Even though I’m not having anymore kids the finality to having this done scares me to death!

Thanks for talking about rest I need to learn this. I hope to have my date soon

i’m weird about pain meds too

I appreciate you sharing your experience. Some good suggestions in there. My story is a little different…I’m looking for older women (60ish) who are about to have a total hysterectomy. My situation isn’t urgent and it’s more of a reassurance than anything. My mother passed away in Sept (2023) of Ovarian cancer. Her tumor was the size of a cantaloupe and she did not have any symptoms until just before the surgery. They discovered it because her white blood cell count was triple the normal. It was also just her time to go Home. I’ve been debating with myself “should I or not?” I bleed (still) from time to time but everything checks out normal. Ovarian cancer is hard to catch early so I am leaning toward getting in done. 1) it will give me reassurance and 2) it’ll force me to not do physical work after taking care of my mom estate (sifting through and selling her home) and then also downsizing our house, selling and moving to a smaller place in the same year. For someone that has a hard time not working, I think that will be challenging to not do anything for 6 weeks (my doctor said 10) so your comment about really following those orders was important for me to hear. Thank you for doing your video.

Thank you for posting video. I’m to have robotic surgery next month.

Good info thanks

Thank you so much! I'm 47, without any biological children BUT I do have two adopted daughters and 3 bonus children. I'm newly remarried and not looking to have children- I'm too tired for that 😂. Love to but no. You get me- you said the right words that other videos didn't. Thank you ❤

I just found your channel. How ironic as my name is Judy and I had fibroids as well. I had my hysterectomy two days ago. Thank you for sharing your experience. The support group you speak of I'm a part of that as well. It has been helpful for me also. Did you wait until six weeks or longer to get back into cleaning and vacuuming?

Interesting video, I had my first baby at 43 nine months :⁠-⁠)

I need to have one soon… my doctor says it all has to come out or you can and most likely will get cancer. 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

I had it all removed 12 days ago & I'm still in allot of pain. I coughed & I felt something pop last night. I'm to scared to go to the Dr.

Did you notice the most pain at the biggest trochar? Did you need to brace that area if you coughed or sneezed?

Hello Judy I'm glad you got through it, your very blessed!! Hebrews 11:6

If they remove it needs to be done via abdomen. It is not necessary to put anything through down there otherwise its assault.

i’m 30 and have my hysterectomy in 2 days. this video helped me so much. thank you. 🫶🏻
