Hello everyone. I had my surgery on July 5th and everything went great. I had to spend one night in the hospital and it was the best sleep I’ve had in three years. My recovery at home has been going great EXCEPT for when I overdue it. I’ve been cooking, washing dishes and a few other things that I probably shouldn’t do. I’m a bit stubborn with major OCD so me sitting still is a challenge. I have no regrets about this surgery. I am 5 days post op. Best advice, listen to your body and chill out when your body tells you, your overdoing it. Stay blessed everyone

[@mrsrae83]

Hope your feeling better just got my hysterectomy on July 19 a little sore especially when I'm moving too much. Lol I can relate to that! But I'm taking it easy just ready to be pain free but I know it takes time🥰

I'm post-op 6 days, today. I'm shocked at how well I've done. Like, shocked. I had a laparoscopic robot-assisted vaginal total hysterectomy, leaving my ovaries in. (I'm 42 y/o). I have 4 incisions. They are healing very well. I've been up and walking every day. Good luck, ladies!

YAAYYY!!! I am so happy to hear that you are on the other side of things and that you are doing so well! Keep taking it easy though because you are going to want to get up and start doing all the things before your body is ready. Sending you big hugs and lots of love!

I know this video was done a couple years ago, but I’m so glad I found it. I’m considering a laparoscopic hysterectomy and I’m nervous, but I have too many fibroids to count and I’ve been in such pain and my menstrual is so heavy that I often feel lightheaded, I’m anemic due to this, so I’m truly may go through with this!

[@jennyverdonk]

Lisa, thank you SO much for posting your pre and post op experiences. I had a total hysterectomy two days ago, but my uterus was large, so I had an abdominal removal. No one on my medical team had mentioned belly bands, grabber sticks, or the various sundries that you had recommended. After watching your videos, I felt much more prepared. Your positive outlook and sense of humor also gave me a much different perspective on recovery. I am glad that you are doing well. I am too! Thank you again. 🤩

Hello 👋 I just had my surgery yesterday the same exact one you had and your videos are helping me a lot on all this things I'm going through. Thank you for all this helpful videos.

[@jennifervenzon4222]

How are you feeling a month out?

[@betsybabf748]

I don't understand why anyone would have any issue with your choice. While the ovaries do have a job and I know I wish I could have kept mine, once a woman us done with having children, or having made a definitive choice to not have children, the uterus doesn't have much purpose. It can just cause discomfort with menstruation issues and hang out, possibly being a risk for uterine cancer. If that can be avoided and quality of life improved, that is just benefit with no negative at all.

[@salvolondon]

It's actually a pretty mysogibistic way of thinking , Like women have to be like men ,only women have the menstrual cycle ,men don't . And in order to live in this patriarcal world women have to be like men .... Luckily most women don't feel like you , luckily there are women who are proud of being intact adult human females .

[@moviemarket]

It's actually the fear that we have. You hear around after hysterectomy , hormones change and you get old too soon and may get orthorities and so and so. I got mine done last month and I'm making myself confident that nothing changed.

[@Thatgeekishfamily]

Hey, Lisa! I just wante to say thanks for sharing this. I know it's 3 years old - but I'm heading in for my initial appointment for a radical hysterectomy for endometrial hyperplasia and your series has helped me a lot to prepare my brain for what's about to happen. I watched it as soon as I got my diagnosis (no cancer at biopsy, but being extra cautious and doing a frozen section during surgery just in case they have to pull lymph nodes so that I don't have the surgery twice) a few weeks ago, and watching through again as we're finally in our "boottheute" stage with the initial appointment, and it's helping relieve a little of the anxiety. I know everyone's experience is different, and I may not have your experience, but it's been weirdly comforting. Thanks, again, for sharing your experience.

[@ShelbyKnox]

Thank you so much for making this video. My friend is having this next week and we had no sense that she would be able to even sit up and talk this much at 4DPO. We've been planning for her to, at most, be able to get herself to the bathroom with a walker but mostly be in bed and to need 24 hour a day care for at least 2 weeks so it's amazing to see that you did so well. Now going to watch the other videos because it looks like the current plan of her being mostly on the couch for 8-12 weeks may be too conservative. She is a lot older than you so we don’t expect she will ever be able to get back to where she was before the surgery in terms of strength and stamina but this is making me think that she may be able to recover a little better than we thought, so thank you so much!

[@laurenfrancis9772]

Thank you for your information, my surgery is next Tuesday, I'm nervous but your videos have definitely helped a lot

Glad you're doing relatively well, thank you for letting us know, been thinking about you. I had a lapoorscopic tubal ligation when I was 35, and abdominal hernia surgery a few years later (which I did too much, and it re-tore, so have been living with it for years, which is depressing) but still have no support, I do NOT want to re-do), with no help or support, and it was ROUGH - I slept on the the couch after the hernia surgery just so I'd have something to grab on to to change positions, or get up - which took like 5 minutes - SO painful!! So glad you guys have each other, for physical, and emotional support - you are SUCH a team, and it' wonderful to see, and hear. Your Doc also sounds wonderful, approachable, and right on top of things - that's awesome, and DEFINITELY helps recovery, for sure! I used Palmer's Coca Butter on several surgery incisions and other scars over the years (AFTER medical clearance, of course!) and it really helped ease the pain, itching, and helped fade the scars. Please continue to listen your body, and do as well as you have been. You are thought of, and cared about, even by those of us who have never met you. Never doubt that! Socially distanced hugs from New Jersey. I was bleeding VERY heavily several times when I had to have D&C's for same, or even the uterine ablation, and I will agree - it does feel VERY weird (and for me - almost shameful - but I KNOW that's ME, and I'm weird!), and they made me take off my own pads I wore, and use ones they gave me (to be more sterile, I was told), but hat was weird, because they had to adhesive, or wings - just kin of "sat there". But the nurses were VERY comforting, and made me feel better about "the mess" of it all. Guess they truly HAVE seen worse! Shawn's chicken casserole looked SCRUMPTIOUS, just like everything he cooks!! He truly is a keeper!!

I had a D&C at a surgery center instead of a hospital and the biggest difference they explained to me is that they don’t have blood on site so if I needed a transfusion, I would urgently be taken to the closest hospital. That was fine for the D&C but my hysterectomy will be done on the main hospital campus because the surgery is being done robotically and it’s only available to the 42 operating rooms on the 1st floor of the main hospital.

Thank you for sharing all of this information. I am 36 and I have 2 kids who are 13 and 10. I have had many problems with my periods since I was a young teen. (As well as 2 lost pregnancies) I was diagnosed with adenomyosis when my son (10) was about 4-5. I was on birth control for hormone and period problems since I was a teenager. 2 1/2 years ago I had to have an emergency D&C after a non-viable pregnancy and I was diagnosed with epilepsy (my brother has epilepsy as well) so I had to stop taking birth control because it would make my seizure medication not work. This was about 7-8 months ago. When I stopped it, my adenomyosis has gotten so bad. The pain, my periods have gotten worse, my bleeding is worse or not bleeding when I should etc. I am considering getting a partial hysterectomy to fix the adenomyosis, as well as prevent pregnancy as well because I cannot take my medication during pregnancy, and also another pregnancy could be dangerous. I have been scared of getting surgery, but after hearing your recovery information I am much less nervous and ready to have better quality of life. Thank you again, this has really helped me.

[@margaretsomerville2510]

Tuned in on my day 5 post and empathize with you! Stayed on my feet too long yesterday and today was a day with lots of rest. Drink smooth move which is more effective than stool softener for me. Soups have been main meal addwd sall romaine & avacado salad today. Husband has a cold and it makes two at slow pace. Foryunate to have options for seperate sleep space. spotting is scary. staying ontop of pain with Tylenol/Ibuprophen alternate schedule. The 3hr schedule with few hrs of sleep between. 5 holes in abdomen and swollen. So appreciate technology for the robotic assist laparoscopic total hysterectomy with cyst removal - benign HORRAY will monitor reduction of abdomen swelling.

Thank you so much for being so open and thorough about your experience! I have a hysterectomy coming up in late October, im really hoping my surgery date will be on Halloween cuz who doesn't wanna get organs out for Halloween?!?🎃🎃🎃. Im UBER excited for this surgery. Since menarche, my periods have been extremely debilitating and my pelvic pain has only gotten worse over time, I've honestly wanted a hysterectomy for as long as ive known what a hysterectomy was. I was diagnosed with uterine fibroids in May, i knew i'd need a myomectomy at the very least, but it never even crossed mind to inquire about a hysterectomy because i just didn't think they'd do it given my age. When i went to my pre-op appointment last week and the doctor recommended that i get a hysterectomy, i lit up. Just the thought of getting this abusive womb of mine out of my body puts a whole new pep in my step. Im so looking forward to this transition!

Hello I'm day 4 post op from hysterectomy your video is great. It has been a journey for me since surgery on the 28th I'm getting through it with lots of boring laying around lol but the boring laying around is so worth it. I had my fibroid for 3 years now and it's been hell been trying to have my surgery for the last 3 years but insurance just finally excepted my insurance. I did also feel like this was the life I was going have to live but the second I was approved for surgery I finally felt some relief. I can't wait to get my old life back and see what kinda journey I now can take without having to worry am I going to bleed do I have to ware a tampon do I have to ware a pad just incase I bleed ;)

Hi, thanks for sharing your journey. I’m glad your recovering well!! 🥰 I’m post op day 3. Question, did you ever get front ribcage pain so bad you can’t take a deep breathe. My ribs are extremely sore. None of my pain meds are giving me relief. My lower stomach feels fine. When I try and fall asleep my body jumps and I wake up. I have both my ovaries but woke up drenched is sweat! I hope this gas pain goes away soon. If it wasn’t for that I’d be fine!

You look so healthy.Can someone have a hysterectomy if they have no fibroids or cancer?

[@LisaRowberry]

Thank you so much!! I have never felt better!! I think it really just depends on the doctor but I would try and even get second opinions if need be!

[@LaidBackLora]

I got an upper respiratory infection following surgery. I think that's what killing my progress. Day 6 post op. Progressing slowly 😢

It’s like a whole different painful

[@amberr6589]

I’m just going to second your “ask for help” advice here in the comments. It may seem like you’re being a burden asking at the time but if you don’t and you actually damage yourself during your recovery, it might cause complications could add time to the healing process unnecessarily. 🙂

[@janewanjikumuchira6448]

Am happy with your video training. What are you using to control hormones. Am 5weeks from hysterectomy. Thanks

[@Future_Ghost76]

I followed your recovery I think was for the first month? LOL I had my laparoscopic hysterectomy on November 15th. The first day was rough lol now I'm on day 6 of recovery maybe day 5 LOL and I'm starting to have stabbing pains where I think my cuff is but it feels almost like the surface of the skin? And the inside? Is this normal? I have four incisions which are healing very well.

[@mdexperience2011]

If I work from home and at the desk all day, do you think it would be feasible to contact to work after two weeks? Based on your experience of course.

[@jewals-healingrose222]

I was actually surprised that I didn't have any vaginal bleeding after.
