TOTAL ROBOTIC HYSTERECTOMY AT AGE 33! SURGERY & RECOVERY VLOG!

[@Jennifer-dt2pz]

I had a total robotic hysterectomy on 1/3. Thank you for sharing your story. It amazes me how different the experiences are. I had a 7:30am surgery and didn't get discharge until 4pm. I had to urinate, walk, and have pain and nausea under control before they'd let me leave. I didn't get any shoulder or back pain. They didn't give me compression socks. My first bowel movement was on day 3, I used miralax as well. My throat was so sore from being intubated, so I drank a lot of warm water with lemon and honey. I appreciate everyone who shares their story on KZbin and highly recommend watching how the surgery is performed. Praying for speedy healing on all the women having this procedure.

[@DesireeNicole]

I watched a video on how the surgery is performed after I had mine. I think it would have given me too much anxiety had I watched beforehand lol 😅. Listening and reading other women’s stories prepared me for mine. But you are correct, everyone is different and has a different experience. You just never know until you go through it. Praying yours went well. ❤️

I just had my hysterectomy yesterday. Short of amazing process. No real unbearable pain ...thank God

[@DesireeNicole]

That’s awesome! 🩷

[@jamesnewton485]

Its amazing that a surgery that used to keep you in the hospital for at least 5 days is now outpatient. Glad youre did well. Props to your husband.

[@DesireeNicole]

Gotta love innovation! Thank you so much and I suppose my hubby is pretty great! Lol 😊

[@MdMedina35]

I had a robotic assisted hysterectomy yesterday. My doctor admitted me overnight. I currently wearing a abdominal band. My husband has been a big help. Truly grateful. I’m trying to keep moving as well to reduce the risk of blood clots.

[@DesireeNicole]

Praying for a speedy recovery. Try to take it easy!

The abdominal band sounds like a dream. I hold my belly when I walk to and fro around the house.

Im having a total on 3/5/25. Thank u for this. I have watched videos of the procedure like crazy. Trying everything to ease my anxiety. I will do this all the way until the procedure day. I appreciate this. Its a form of support. ❤

[@shirala1972]

I can’t believe your surgery was that quick and that you were home that fast! My surgery took 5 hours and they kept me in the hospital for 2 days and I had the same procedure. Funny how every hospital is different! I’m 1 month post op at this point and still in pain but not as bad as in the beginning

[@DownWithEarthStudios]

Thanks so much for being willing to share your story. I have my own hysterectomy coming up soon and this video and videos like it are really helping me feel prepared.

[@DesireeNicole]

Thank you for watching! Praying for a speedy recovery for you!

[@karenkingrey6142]

I just had this 6 days ago. They did a few other things due to a cancer diagnosis. I’m doing ok. Yesterday I felt like a million bucks 😂 So Ofcourse I over did it and now I’m in unbelievable pain again! Lol. But I’m sure tomorrow will be great again. I pray for anyone going through this!! It’s a big deal and everyone has such a different experience!! And it’s so confusing. It sore where the uterus would be but the little incisions are at the top! What? Lol.

[@MiaBaum1]

Thank you so much for sharing your experience❤ I have mine one Monday so I’m trying to watch and read up and this has definitely helped me feel better 😊❤

A helpful support system is also a huge key to quick recovery! The caddy is a great idea. The hubby is very on it with the help! Dang. Love that for you and you don’t have to behave for help. Nice. He’s a keeper. The little guy is so sweet too.

[@DesireeNicole]

Thank you!

[@anglophils645]

Desiree, thank you for sharing. I have to have a hysterectomy soon, and I'm gathering info. FYI, the squeezy things for your legs during surgery, are not because of your position during surgery. They are to keep circulation going in your legs, while you are still for a while. This helps to keep blood clots from forming in your legs. They are now put on all surgical patients.

[@DesireeNicole]

Good to know! Thanks so much for watching and glad it helped! Praying you have a successful surgery and smooth recovery. ❤️

[@ShamaraErvin]

I just had my surgery 1/23 and they removed my uterus, cervix, right ovary, right 7.4 centimeter cyst, (right tube was already gone), left tube, and my 6.4 centimeter cyst on the left ovary. I still have my left ovary. It’s been a week and I am still having pains. I just had a laparoscopic gallbladder removal in November. So I’m in twice as much pain. And my lower abdomen is the worst. My 4 incisions hurt like hell. It hurts to push when I pee. And I’m barely using the bathroom because I already was on mirlax and stool softeners. A week and 1 day in but sheeeesh and I’m 37. Thank you for sharing your story❤️. They put me on oxycotin and it was making my head hurt so they switched it to Norco. I really haven’t rested properly smh. My wife goes to work at 5am and I’m left with the kids to get them up for school. 😢

[@DesireeNicole]

I’m so sorry you’re going through so much. That takes a toll on your body for sure. Try to rest as much as possible and praying you recover quickly! ❤️

[@shamaraanderson6350]

Thank you 💕. I got as much rest as I could. The only issue I have now is that my stomach is still sore. My incisions still hurt and they are healed but kind of red. And then my abdomen hurts like crazy when I cough. Are you experiencing menstrual symptoms though? Like the sore breasts? And mood swings?

[@ShirleysFashunz]

[@upcloseimage]

Thank you for sharing your experience. As I prepare for my procedure, your specific experience (and taking us to the hospital with you) has put me a lot at ease. Appreciate you! ❤

[@DesireeNicole]

I’m glad it helped! I worked myself up for a long time over this surgery and put myself through unnecessary pain bc of the fear of it. It really wasn’t bad and I always say I wish I’d gotten it done sooner when it was first recommended. I pray your surgery goes smoothly and you have a quick and easy recovery. Much love ❤️

I had radical hysterectomy. Went home next day....got flown back to hospital because my right Aortic lymph node where they cut for cancer screening bled and I went into shock a d nearly didn't make it.

I had mine in 5/22. The gas was intense but it never got to my shoulders was just burping a lot. I kept taking the gas medicine twice a day, that helped to get the gas out. I also noticed for the next 5 days after surgery it helped to sleep and sit inclined so the gas does not settle and walk around.

Why do they flip you upside down

[@DesireeNicole]

They have you at an angle where your reclined all the way back and your feet are higher than your head. I guess they use that position to maybe see better?? Not sure. Could also be to have the other organs shift so they are out of the way while doing the procedure. That is something I’d have to look more into.

a pregnancy test? girl you werent here for a delivery
