Thank you for sharing your journey. I had a hysterectomy 2 weeks ago and hearing about your positive experience makes me hopeful for my own recovery. You are so right about how we tend to normalize pain - we deserve answers and options. Wishing you all the best and continued success!
I'm so grateful to have found your channel and your willingness to share your hysterectomy journey. I'm 6 days away from mine and your videos are amazing and providing me with so much reassurance! Thank you
You're so welcome. I hope your surgery goes well. xo
I watched this a few months ago while waiting for my surgery to happen. Today is exactly 2 weeks after my surgery. I had a few issues last week but I am feeling much better this week. I even went into work for a few hours today . Thank you for your positive and informative message!
Thanks for your message! Great to hear you are already up and about and hopefully it only gets better from here. xo
I am due for my hysterectomy in 10 days. The ending of your video gave me chills. I hope I have a great new normal too!!
I'm sure you will! I hope your surgery goes well. xo
Hi Melanie, thank you so much for sharing this. I’m one week post hysterectomy. I’m happy to hear you’re feeling well. Stay strong like you have been life can be tough but you are tougher! 💪🏼 🤗 hugs!
Hi Maribel. Thanks for your message. Hope you are starting to feel better now and recovery goes well. xo
Thank you for sharing your story. I'm having a vertical abdominal hysterectomy next month. Uterus size is 24 weeks. I'm 41 and I've email him this morning panicking asking for UFE of possible.
Your videos have reassured me that he's right that I need hysterectomy because I can't continue to live life with these huge multiple fibroids.
I am glad I can help but you need to trust your instincts. My doctor was very careful to make sure I was mentally ready for it too because it's a huge decision. If you aren't ready, you can always take some time to think. I am glad I didn't wait much longer, however, because the bigger the fibroids the tougher they are to remove. Just stay focused on a better future for yourself and I am sure it will work out. xo
@@MelanieDurette I've been putting this off since May and my symptoms and uterus size are getting worst. I'm seeing him in Oct so I'll update you. You are right I'll only watch positive videos from now on
Thx for sharing that post-op, after recovery; quality of life, mood, and energy may be better than what it was preoperative. I feel hopeful again, at 1 week post op; that at 47, my new normal after recovery might be above and beyond where it was before surgery. That is the ultimate incentive for empowerment & self care. 🎉
Hey you are so welcome! I'm planning to film a 2 year post-surgery update this month, which will mainly focus on training but I can definitely say my new normal is so much better. I'm sure yours will be too.
Hello, I just had total laparoscopic hysterectomy. This was a 3 hours process.I do know every individual is different . Growing up my m cycle was not regular no cramps cycle when I had one would last maybe three days at the most. My later fifty’s about 56 I wouldn’t have a m cycle.when I turned 60 the bridge was broken Ms. Red would come to visit and stay sometimes three weeks headaches, cramps, blood clots and flooding. I saw my OBGYN and told her about my cycle, long story short I had a D N C that helped for a few months. Each time I would change my mind about having a hysterectomy it would start all over again. I had a total laparoscopic hysterectomy 10-27-2023😊. If I had to do this over I could have the surgery. In recovery I had Level of 8 pain, I haven’t had any pains nor pain medication, I was up moving around after surgery to try to relief the gas .I can say I am truly blessed.I go for my six week check up 12-11-2023. I thank GOD for everything. Four days after surgery I wear a Shapermint shorts and that help to hold everything if I cough or sneeze. I don’t recommend to this for anyone but this is what I did..😊
Thanks for sharing your experience. Hope you get some relief now. xo
Thanks for this update, I'm booked in for surgery in a month, also due to fibroids. Looking forward to getting it done as the fibroids are causing me so much grief, also so happy to hear you're back and training, hoping i also bounce back to training 😊
Thanks for your message Rebecca. I hope it goes really well for you. It's hard to imagine feeling worse than you do when you have fibroids so I'm sure you'll feel so much better when you start recovering. xo
Thank you so much I have my surgery Monday 1/30/23
I hope it goes well. xo
Thank you for sharing! This is so informative…. So helpful. Sending you good energy ✨✨✨
You're welcome! xo
Thank you for sharing your experience. I hope mine goes as well as yours!
I hope so too. Take care of yourself! xo
Really heartened to hear about your return to workouts. I am six days post-op and much of what I’ve been reading about how soon you can return to “real” workouts is pretty bleak and it was depressing me. I didn’t think I could mentally deal with waiting a year before lifting). I’ll be listening to my body instead. Thanks!
Oh goodness! Definitely not a year. Check back here in the next couple weeks because I'm working on a video all about training in my 2 years post surgery. I'm training harder than I have in probably about 8 years since I started dealing with heavy periods and it really is so much better for me know. I hope it will be for you too. xo
ps. I also have a program to help ease you back into training which many ladies start 4-6 weeks post surgery. You can see the details of that here: femalefitnesssystems.com/post-hysterectomy-exercise-program/
@@MelanieDurette thank you!!!
This was very reassuring. Thank you, so much. Your videos were recommended to because I'm having a total hysterectomy in less than two weeks and I'm just a bundle of nerves right now. I'm also a yogi and a yoga instructor, so I've been incorporating my training to help. Thank you for sharing your journey 🙏🏿
Hi. I'm sorry I missed your comment when you made it. I hope your surgery went well and you are feeling much better now. xo
@@MelanieDurette oh! That's okay. 😁 yes, I am feeling soooooo much better. My surgery was August 30th and right now I'm just a little quirky, but mostly better. Thank you again, your tips really did help me. 😁
@@Angie_Onaleta You're welcome and it's great to hear you are on the mend. xo
@@Angie_Onaleta Hi. I'm having a total hysterectomy next month. Were yours taking out vaginally or through your tummy, bcuz I'm having I'm mine vaginally?
@@tamikamosley6236 mine was through my tummy. I have a six inch vertical scar right now.
Fantastic videos from you that I have enjoyed during my 1 week postop. Thank you so much for your encouraging words, research and sharing helpful professional knowledge. The calm, relaxed manner in which you speak is super.
As your surgeon rightly said, "Go girl"! You look absolutely amazing and happily generally feel the same.💞🐈⬛XX
Hi! I'm glad you have been finding some enjoyment and positivity from the videos. Thanks for your kind thoughts. I really appreciate it! Hope your recovery goes well. ❤
Thank you for making these videos. It was very reassuring to find them and hear about your experience.
Thank you for sharing your positive perspective. I had to have an emergency hysterectomy 4 months ago and Ive only found negative things on google. I love what your doctor said to you! 😊
You're welcome Amanda! I've actually filmed a video with a client who has a positive hysterectomy story and I'm planning to release it in the next couple days so check back next week for another one.
Thank you so so much for this. I read your blog and it was like reading my own story. I’m right now trying to figure out how to get out of a work trip because it’s scheduled during my period. I know I need a hysterectomy and hearing your story really gives me hope that it could be a positive thing. Thank you.
You're so welcome. I hope you get it sorted. It's very nice not having to be able to schedule around my period after doing it for years and years.
I’m soooo looking forward to not having to plan my life around my horrible cycle! Less than 2 weeks to my hysterectomy!
I have juggled holidays, family and work around my periods for years - surgery in two weeks time. Cannot wait for this not to be an issue anymore!
Great video! Thank you for giving us an update. You can actually track your cycles still if you want to. You might not have as many symptoms as before because of how what you had was affecting everything but you will still have some symptoms. I’m on my sixth week postop, still recovering , and I noticed breast tenderness and a little of acne that started a couple of days ago, so I went on my calendar and sure, my period would be about to come in a couple of days. So maybe you don’t have to lose the tracking that you liked to do before. Wishing you the best!❤️❤️
Thanks for your thoughts. I am starting to be able to track it a bit because my mood and breast tenderness change at the same time. I'm assuming this is PMS for me now. Take care!
This is a nice video to see- I too am so so worried about scar tissue and adhesions - as they can wreak havoc on the body and I do have them already from a past surgery. More surgeries equals more scar tissue and potential issues. I hope I track simialr to you - and I know they plan to use a gel inside to hopefully avoid it
I hope it goes well for you. Thanks for your comment. I didn't know about the gel and it might help someone else who reads the comments.
@@MelanieDurette thank you - it just got cancelled! gahhhh - I have neuropathy post covid which has not resolved so I was just told to cancel it for this yr and see if that nerve issue settles before doing major surgery. But i've heard mixed thigns about the gel - worth a shot though!
Thank you for this video! I needed to hear all of that ❤️
Dear. Thanks for the blog. May be our recovery lifestyle is different but surely Adenomyosis killed my normalcy same as you. I missed my rfitness routine. Wearing Fancy Undies. And discomfort of bleeding all that time.
Thanks. My surgery took place just 1week back. Looking forward.
Thanks for your message. I hope you enjoy rediscovering all the things you've been missing. There is a much better future ahead for you. xo
Thank you so much for sharing. I feel more at ease after hearing your experience and outcome has given me hope.
Thank you so much!
You're welcome. xo
Thank you so much.
You're welcome.
Hi Melanie- at what point post surgery is your program intended to begin? I had a mymomectomy (large fibroid removal). Cleared to exercise after the 4 week mark.
Hi Maggie. I just responded to your email with more information. xo
Thanks for sharing. I am 3 month post op. I was pretty fit before the op and resumed normal life including trying to exercise but I stared feeling constant abdominal pain - similar to when you start abdominal exercises after a break and sometimes pain around my incisions. My doctor says that it’s because organs are moving to fill in the space where my uterus was. Is it a common experience ?
Happy to hear you are doing good, Do you have any hot flashes after histroctumy?
No hot flashes but I still have my ovaries so I wouldn't expect any.
@@MelanieDurette very good thank you for answering 😊
I have my ovaries also but been having bad heat flashes not sure if it’s because I’m going on 44.
Hi Melanie, glad your healing has been well. I’m wondering if you do any pelvic floor exercises? If you do, what do you recommend? I’ve read that it’s recommended after hysterectomy.
Hi. It does in part depend on your type of hysterectomy. With my incision being in the belly button I'm at lower risk for prolapse and I also don't have a family history of it. However, I still do kegels regularly. I would ask your surgeon if you can. Mine was very helpful. He ran over technique for exercise which is very important for me (engaging the pelvic floor) since I lift heavy.
Thank you! 😊
you go girl 🤜
Thanks!
This is my eighth month since I had my surgery,I have added alot of weight and am planning to start my walkouts,is it okey or I wonna weight a bit longer?
Hey Mary. I started walking right away and working out not long after but everyone is different. I would start slow and build up your body's strength. Don't do anything that feels wrong or too hard.
How long was your surgery? Hours?
tfs 🙏
Do you answer messages on your Instagram? I messaged you on there a few days ago I have a few questions I wanted to ask. I'm about to have a hysterectomy next month I might be interested in doing some of your programs.
Sorry I'm terrible on Instagram! I will check soon and get back to you!
Are you worry about organ prolapse ? Doing heavy lifting
Hi. Prolapse isn't really something I'm worried about but I always make sure I am aware of and engaging my pelvic floor when training.
