So I have a question of everyone that’s had their hysterectomy already...how long before you wernt back to work??? I have two weeks of sick time saved up, and if I have to I can dip into my vacation days for another week, but i sure don’t want to have to resort to Family Leave time, which is unpaid. My job is not very physical, but it does involve some walking and climbing stairs several times during my ten-hour shifts. I had planned on going back after two weeks, but hearing everyone’s stories, I am getting worried about that!

Hi. Stay hydrated for sure. No carbonated beverages or foods that cause gas. Stay positive and know it will get better , the gas does go away. You can use a walker to help you until you can stand upright fully and definitely use a over the toilet chair . It helps so you're not bending or hurting yourself as you use the bathroom. There is hope through the hurting and healing process. God Bless.

[@aren8484]

Thank you so much for this video! 😊 I'm one week post-op, I had to get my surgery done on short notice because my last cycle almost took me out of here! I decided on the hysterectomy instead of the myomectomy because I was just over being tired, having low iron and the fibroids could possibly return with just a myomectomy. I don't have kids but my husband doesn't want any either, he is so happy I'm feeling better. This video is right on time

Had my abdominal hysterectomy 6/2/2022… the plan was for me to keep my ovaries… and take everything else.. uterus, fallopian tube’s, and cervix… woke up in some pain (bearable).. and nauseous, which they gave me meds for and worked immediately.. thank God! 🙌🏽.. then I got the news that they had to take right ovary and had to leave the left Fallopian tube due to major scar tissue from previous surgeries c-section and myomectomy (removal of fibroids) my right ovary was in the doctor words “cemented to my uterus” because of the scar tissue and didn’t want to bother the left Fallopian tube because of too much scar tissue and didn’t want to cause hemorrhage… today makes 2 weeks and I’m recovering well.. still some pain but bearable, just take the Motrin 600 to ease it. Rest, gas X, heating pad, and Welch’s grape juice with fiber has been my best friends… sorry this was so long, but hope it helps someone. Happy recovery ladies ❤️‍🩹❤️

This info was so helpful! When I decided to have a hysterectomy 1 month ago, I got on KZbin to find info about what to expect and recovery. I found you and was up all night watching your videos. I immediately bought everything you suggested. As of today 01/02/21 I am 4 days post op, I had my robotic laparoscopic hysterectomy on Tuesday 12/29/20( I still have my ovaries). Recovery is going ok but this gas is the DEVIL!! I definitely can not move around like you and I am alternating between the hydrocodone and ibuprofen every 6-8 hrs. I’m extremely sore and I can feel all the soreness in my abdomen. My incisions don’t hurt but i know they are there. The last 2 nights I have not been able to sleep at all until around 5/6 am (it’s currently 3:45am and I’m so uncomfortable 🥵) my back hurts and I can’t walk standing straight up. Thanks again for this video because when I’m having a hard time I hop on KZbin and watch for reassurance. Blessings and Stay Safe....

Hi. I'm almost a month post-op. Have you tried the peppermint tea, using a walker to help you get around to relieve the gas as well as the abdominal binder? It will get better. Stay positive, do what you can ,when you can. I was able to drive before 2 weeks so I say this to show hope in the midst of the healing process. God Bless you.

[@happycook6737]

Had this surgery for cancer 5 weeks ago. They removed everything and some lymph nodes. Everything she says is true. My essentials: abdominal binder, high quality grabber, muumuus or house dresses, towels to cover chairs I sat on because I couldn't tolerate underwear, abdominal binder (wore over house dress to help keep it clean), shower hose to keep private area clean, pillow to brace stomach for coughing/car rides, advil liquigells, and TV dinners. Having an insulated cup to keep ice water handy was good to. I kept all my essentials in a dishpan bin and carried it with me. Also identify a plug you can reach without bending for your cell phone and laptop. I duct taped an extension cord to my bedside table so it could not fall. Have shoes you can put on without bending. I am fat with big stomach so that made it more difficult but I'm fine now and you will be ok too. 🤗🙏💐

Last summer I had pelvic organ prolapse repair (all 3) and my tubes taken out. We didn't know going into it if I had endometriosis or not and decided against hysterectomy. No Endo was found, but signs of adenomyosis were observed during my surgery. I've spent the last 9 months healing from surgery, experiencing the return of prolapse, and trying non surgical methods to manage the adenomyosis. I just scheduled a hysterectomy for this summer. So much of the recovery and supplies overlap for the two different surgeries. Thanks for sharing your story! Hysterectomy at 33 has me older than my mom was for hers at 29, and she had a radical and was opened up all the way. I'll be having robotic laparoscopic with a vaginal incision as well for my total hysterectomy.

Do you mind me asking what type of complications you had?

[@jamijack07]

@@Nika-xh1fc Sure. My surgeon nicked my bladder (intraoperational bladder injury) and I did not know until days later so it caused a pelvic infection and vaginal cuff dehiscence from the pressure of the fluid. I had adhesions from previous c-sections and she said it must’ve happened when she was releasing them. Thankfully it was just one small laceration, but it was bad enough that I had to undergo abdominal surgery again a week later to have my bladder and vaginal cuff repaired. I have been on bladder rest with a Foley catheter at home for 5 weeks. I have ct scans and urology follow up Wednesday and hopefully everything is healed. I was cleared by gynecologist last week. All this being said, I do not regret the hysterectomy. I have only had one would-be period so far and not having to deal with it was amazing! For the first time in years, my hemoglobin raised naturally from food alone. I have been severely anemic and needed frequent iron infusions or occasional blood transfusions. I kept my ovaries and I haven’t had any hormonal issues. My complications are EXTREMELY rare, so don’t let it discourage you.

Not sure if I posted already because I was so doped up on medication Friday. I just ordered my wedge pillow. My husband brought the grabber today. He got the alka seltzer chews yesterday because my gas buildup was terrible. Still dealing with the co2 gas 🤪

Hi Ladies. I am drowsy and sitting up. Day 2 after my partial. I'm doing good. Just weak. I slept most of the day yesterday. It is one of the pills prescribed to go with the Tylenol. The Belly band helps. I also have the wedge that transitions. What a help. My heating pad just arrived. I really needed it yesterday. My lower back pain was bad bad. I layed my head on one pillow and used my wedge for my legs to be raised and bent. It helped. Another position is the pillow between the legs and pillow up against belly and 1 pillow under head. My appetite is not there. I try to eat but don't eat much.

[@dianedelong5216]

I am getting hardly any support from my surgeon. I had my surgery complete hysterectomy ovaries fallopian tube uterus and cervix were removed vaginally, on June 12th. I had my 2-week post-op appointment and my surgeon said that I really didn't have to come back again, which I thought was very strange. I knew I'd feel some pain but I didn't know the time line. I am experiencing the same thing that you just talked about because I didn't really have much pain for the first week and now nearing the third week, I'm having pain again. I thought it was because I lifted something more than 5 lbs that caused this pain to come back again. I drove my car up to the local grocery store yesterday and when I got home I slept for 4 hours. Also, I'm having some kind of UTI infection and I don't believe it's a yeast infection because none of the traditional medicines are helping. My surgeon is refusing to let me get a urinary sample taken. her nurse actually told me to go to the emergency Ward if I wanted to have a urine test. I really feel like I'm on my own without any medical support. So, thanks for sharing your experience.

[@bethsoriano9437]

I wish I knew everything you're saying before my surgery, I had a hysterectomy surgery myself and yes everything you're saying is happening, although I had a relapse of a hemorrhage and was rushed to the ER, that was taken care of and recovery is back on track I feel I have a to go back to week one with the recovery part. 😟 I'm getting there slowly, but durely, you're video is very helpful and it has help me lots and has been a great moral support!
