I just had my total abdominal hysterectomy on 10/10/22 fibroid was 7pounds literally the size of. Baby. Pathology came back negative for cancer which was a concern considering how large it was unable to get a full pic on the MRI. I’m now 2weeks post op, the first week was very hard, but I’m much better with each passing day. Thank you for
Sharing this and your story. Continued recovery.
Just a word on why you are not craving sugars like you were prior to your surgery. Tumors feed on carbs and sugars and will DEMAND them through cravings. My appointment to discuss my MRI and set my surgery date is a day away, I Can Not Wait to reclaim my body and my life. ❤️
Completely cutting the sugar and carbs has been the hardest part of this whole process
Can you give us an update on what happened mine is in 10 days I’m getting scared everyday
I am 14 days post surgery and still craving sugar and carbs sooooooo bad that I want to smash things. I'm angry I say words I don't want to say. I cut the sugar and carbs eight weeks prior to the surgery. So I haven't had any in 10 weeks.
@@peaceofmyhearthomestead4611 alcohol is horrible is well
Thank you for sharing. I will have surgery in about 4 weeks. Your video has really helped me to write down questions for the doctor. What did you do to help you with not using your abdominal muscles?
I had 9 surgeries in my life and to be honest I been very scared to have this Hysterectomy, but after hearing your video I am more confident that everything will be fine. I have joint pain. Backaches and menorragia at least 3 times a month. I have several fobroids scattered around so I was a little sad my husband and I tried to get pregnant and had 2 missed carriages, which I know now it was the fibroids he and I have kids but it was still a desire we had to have another baby 😢😢 anyways I am grateful to you for this video.

So glad I came across your channel. I too have a large fibroid. I also have an ovarian cyst and a hernia. I’m pretty sure the large fibroid has caused the hernia. My lack of energy is the symptom I notice the most. I can’t do the things I used to. It has definitely affected my quality of life. Your story gives me hope that once I have had surgery I can get back some energy to lead a normal life again. X
There is hope! Just passed 12-week post-op and I honestly didn’t think I could feel this good. Stay hopeful!
Great suggestions on what to bring. You were so right about the sleep mask and ear plus for the hospital. 3 days in the hospital with several middle of the night vitals and lab work, I found that the mask helped me to maintain my circadian sleep rhythm even when nurses had to turn on lights in the middle of the nights. I watched so many videos but was found yours the most valuable. Thank you😊
I had a massive simple cyst, dr removed whole ovary today. It feels like a hernia on opposite side
Me too. I have the same symptoms, especially since I am so tire and weak, I have severe bleeding and joint pain
This is such a great detailed video. Over 80% of your story prior to surgery is me. Listening to your experience is great for any woman going through this procedure. Thank you, hope you’re doing well a year later. ❤
glad to hear you have gotten through your surgery and recovering well
My laproscopic hysterectomy is Friday and this video was VERY helpful. I'm nervous, but so necessary..
THANK YOU..
Thanks for this video. I am having a surgery myself and I found it very positive and helpful.
I've had excessive trips to bathroom, no energy, lower back problems, pain during sex and looking 5 months pregnant for years and since I've found this dr. I believe all my problems were coming from my fibroid tumors and polyps. So I'm pretty sure my next move should be a hysterectomy.
Get a transvaginal ultrasound and find a good Gyn. Don’t live in pain. Learn your options and live comfortably.
Thank you sooo much for this video. Your backstory is exactly as mine. This is so helpful.
Thank you for sharing your story. I am 3 weeks post-op today and today is about the best I've felt since surgery. The first 4 days were the worst. So far, there have been as many good days as bad ones. I also have a hard time not being active and pushed myself too far and had to recuperate for a couple of days. I have also learned not to allow myself to become constipated. I think that I tried to introduce certain foods back into my diet too soon. I know that my surgery was the best option for me and that it will take some time to recover. As much as I want to jump right back into my normal routine, I just can't do it right now. In order to attempt to sit still, I have decided to brush up on my music theory and learn to play the ukulele. 😊
I just came across your video, thank you so much for telling your story. Im just about to have this op, and you made me feel better about it all. Hoping youre keeping well 💚
Thank you so much for sharing. I was contemplating just living with the pain out of fear. While I know our experience will differ, the opportunity to live without this pain and discomfort is truly comforting.
So thankful I found this!
I have watched lots of videos and I must say this is the FIRST video that has given me a sense of relief. I will be having surgery next week and I am scared. But you have really given some great advise and tools to use while healing.
Thank you for this INVALUABLE sharing x
Thank you for sharing. Im preparing to have one scheduled. Great tips,i took notes.
Thank you for sharing your story. It is so helpful to hear these kinds of details about preop preparation and things like that. Like a sleeping mask, it never crossed my mind. For us who need to have this surgery done but are still to scared to take that step this is soo useful. Hopefully before this year ends I wont have these stupid fibroids n uterus in me anymore.
Thank you for sharing! I’m due for laparotomy in two weeks. I feel lucky. My doctor moved so fast. From my first reported symptoms to getting a diagnose ,referral to a gynecologist and a surgery date took only two weeks. I sought treatment for ongoing awful digestive issues. Turns out I have a 20 cm fibroid that’s squeezing my abdominal organs to the point of not being able to eat more than a few bites without pain. So I appreciate your video and advice: eases my anxiety, I can probably go back to sleep now.
Thank you so much for sharing your experience. There aren’t many videos out there whith such detail. I have my surgery in a week and was looking for a video that gave helpful information. This helped a great deal. God bless you!
How is your Fibroid and your surgery process going till Now?? You need Agbara Fibroid Remover to completely removed those Fibroid and prevent them not to regrow again
I go in for my surgery next month. I have a total of 8 fibroids so I'm ready ready ready. They are small but I'm tired more and also sick of the on/off pain. Your video is comforting,thank you!
Same sis! I have 2 5.5 cM and several more 2-3 cM.. pain is off and on.. so it’s like I’m not sure I have to.. but surely wouldn’t mind come cycle time.. when cycle comes I get so inflamed and Bloated it’s hard to urinate or poop. But then after cycle all returns to normal. Except for back pain here and there. Are they taking your cervix? I don’t want them to but she says she will. Wonder why. It’s fine. I have no energy and I literally force myself to get up and make it happen everyday. Stored iron is pathetic.. and cravings are shy high!
And so how are you feeling now? I’m am scheduled for November.
I have several lumps in my lower abdomen that change shape usually getting larger and Fibroids are in my family, I still get told by doctors that haven't even felt them that its lymph nodes, finally I am getting a laparoscopic surgery next week after years of new symptoms and pain. Im Just praying for an answer.
Women's health is extremely overlooked and we are constantly dismissed or ignored which usually leads to things getting worse which means more pain and suffering.
I am so glad your surgery went well and Thank you so much for sharing your story it really helps other women in similar did feel less alone, I hope you are doing much better now!
Thank You for your story!
Thank you for sharing this I really needed it. I just had hysteroscopy and dnc and they were in the middle of doing Myosure resection the resecting wand was used to attempt resection of the anterior uterine wall lesion which proved rather difficult and was unable to remove the lesion in its entirety at this point the procedure was terminated but now I'm feeling like it was actually a blessing because of all the problems I believe now I will be better off with complete hysterectomy.
Really so helpful and encouraging, thank you for sharing. I was due to have my surgery on the 19th July but it’s now 2nd August. Pretty much exactly the same issues as you, very large fibroid and have just realised that my aching joints and feet could well be due to it as well. I hope my recovery goes as well as yours. I’m very positive. 🙏
How was your recovery? Did you get relief from the joint and feet pain after surgery?
I never thought this could be connected to having fibroids, I am miserable and afraid of surgery but I think I need to have it
I love this positive video on this type of surgery. It is very helpful. I have mine scheduled in 2 weeks and I’m trying not to freak out. As terrified as I am, I’m also ready to go back MY normal. My quality of life is not the same. I’ve started to self isolate only because I don’t feel like myself and I’m ready to just be me again. This video helped tremendously to ease my anxiety. And you gave great tips on how to try and help your body adjust to the temporary pain and how to function during the healing. Ty!❤
Hello! I just had my surgery two weeks ago. It was scary for me because I've never had surgery before. This was my first time. But don't be scared. It wasn't that bad. I thought recovery was going to be painful, but mine wasn't too bad.
Like the video says, the hardest part in recovery was getting up off the bed, and getting back on the bed. But once you're up. No pain. Once you're lying down in bed, as long as I laid on my back. There was no pain.
Once thing I can say that was the most painful for me, was that I had a slight cough here and there for the first week. Each cough was PAINFUL. I just wanted to cry each time I coughed. But like I said, it was only like one cough here. One cough there during the day.
Anyways, good luck on your surgery. You'll do fine. Since I've had my surgery, I've heard that its a very, very common procedure for women. Good luck and speedy recovery to you!
Thank you so much for this video. I am in day 7 after my abdominal hysterectomy. My fibroids were still rather small but they were causing long painful periods. I have also had extreme joint and muscle pain for the last two years, especially from my knees down but recently also in my wrists and hands. I had Covid in 2020 and have always thought the pain was related to that. It makes me so hopeful to know that somehow it might be related to the fibroids and resolved now that they are removed. I have not felt any of those pains since my surgery but assumed it was because of the pain medications I have been on. I’m really hopeful that the fatigue and aches and pains will be resolved with this surgery.
Thanks again- I feel so much hope after watching your video.
There is definitely hope! My joint pain was gone completely For about four months postop. It has returned but not the same degree and I suspect it’s more to do with menopause. Glad to hear you’re on the mend!
Glad you managed the process ok and are looking great on the mend.
Thx! Looking forward to cooking again 😂
Thank you so much for sharing your experience from your surgery. I plan to get similar hysterectomy in August 2023. I’ve had a myoectomy (fibroid removal surgery) in 2012 and my fibroids came back and one is so large.
Same happened to me. Had my surgery 9/8. Best decision ever!
so thankful for your video 👍
Thank you for this video. I’m scheduled for an abdominal hysterectomy December 20. I hope that I can reach out afterwards if I have any questions. God bless you. Praying for your continued healing.
Thank you for this video. Took lots of notes. I find out my surgery date on the 20th
Thank-you so much for sharing and all the details. I just went through an abdominal hysterectomy with huge fibroid removal. I have the four holes and a very long abdominal incision.
Thankyou for including so much detail. As an Autistic woman, the detail is exactly what I needed to feel comfortable, and I feel awkward asking for it. I’m booked in for 2 weeks time for a robotic laparoscopic total hysterectomy. I have a lot of stairs at home, so that, and constipation are what now worry me. I don’t know what symptoms my fibroids are giving me, other than non-stop periods and incontinence, so I will be interested to find out what changes afterwards.
Thank you so much for this wonderful video... going to have the surgery also and I have huge huge fibroids I'm getting everything out😇✝️🙏
Information very helpful, Thank You.
Whew wgat an ordeal thank you so much for sharing your story
Thank you for sharing your story. I had a hysterectomy two weeks ago and I can relate to so many things you mentioned. Opioids were the worst for me, I was in a fuzz for the first week. I felt so much better when I got off of them. Also the face mask was the best item to pack in the hospital bed. Again, thank you for sharing your journey.
Just had my surgery 6 days ago. No scars except laproscopic incisions. Minimum pain, slight bloat, but only constipation was the worst.
The anesthetic the worst yes awful come down
I am having a complete hysterectomy tomorrow morning, including removing the ovaries, due to an extremely large fibroid. I have been a complete basket case the past few days. I think it's mostly about not knowing what to expect. Everything I seem to have read is all negative, so coming across this video was a great relief.
How did the surgery go?
@@foodismylovelanguage2021 The surgery itself went great. The fibroid they removed was 15 pounds!! My surgeon took pictures of it, as well as one with all of the reproductive organs, so that is pretty neat to see. I had an epidural done so that for the first 24 hours my pain would be well managed. Well, I had an absolutely horrid first 24 hours. While in post op, they, for whatever reason, didn't think it was important to keep up with my pain meds, so I went into a pain crisis that lasted over 24 hours. It was beyond anything I had ever imagined. And to make things worse my first night nurse was a horrible, horrible person who didn't think it was important to get me out of crisis, didn't give me pain meds when it was time, taking my leg and turning me over without my consent, sending me into even more pain, putting my bed up in a sitting position without asking. Getting mad at me and telling me to , "stop being an inpatient patient". It was just horrible. But, once they finally got the pain somewhat under control, things got better. They wanted me to stay a 3rd night, but I kept having anxiety attacks because of not knowing how I'd be treated by the next nurse, so in my stubborn ways, I made sure to get myself up out of bed and walking around the floor so I could go home. 4 weeks post op yesterday and I am feeling like a brand new person!!!!! So much of my pain and other issues have just disappeared. I will forever be thankful to my wonderful surgeon.
@@catj1597 What a terrible experience! Great to hear that you are on the mend and feeling so much better 🥳
How did your go I just had a Hysteroscopy and DNC yesterday but it's looking like I may have to a complete hysterectomy.
My bad I just found where someone had already asked thank you.
Thank you for sharing your story. I’m scheduled to have my abdominal hysterectomy in a month and I’ve been worried about the recovery since I live alone with my beautiful fur baby. I never connected my lack of energy to my very large fibroids (4 of them) until I watched your video and read the comments; I blamed myself thinking I was just being a lazy potato. Your advice gives me confidence and I know it won’t be easy doing this alone, but it will be doable.
I have mine in 10 days I wish you all the best
Me in November! Praying over your surgery now 🙏🏼
@@Chantel.tx1 thank you I will let you know how it goes
Hi I had my abdominal hysterectomy a week ago, same fibroid was too large but you have identified by yourself, i didn't, but has same symptoms of loosing energy quickly, drowsy, limb joints pain so met a doctor and he diagnosed all this and then met a gyno for surgery,, as my heamoglobin was less, I was given iron dosage and waited for improvement around a month then the surgery was planned. Now healing at home, only worse thing I am suffering now is constipation, anal fissure kind of pain.. taking my breadth😢... Anyhow seeing your video getting a hope to see myself in good shape soon😊. Thank you for sharing ❤
WOW your presentation is a 1st to mention the joint pain and fatigue. I have been treated for sereonegative RA while being followed for ovarian cysts. Hope the hysterectomy will relieve the pain
Use that natural herbal medication. Agbara Fibroid Remover
Thanks I am glad I found this…❤❤❤
Thank you so much for making this video. I have a 15cm mass in my uterus that we are hoping is a fibroid as well and am having a hysterectomy in 2 weeks. I am so nervous, but hearing your story has made me feel so much better. I will use all of your tips.
I’m sure everything will go well! 💜
I have 2 large fibroids, one 18 cm , the hysterectomy next week, very nervous, thanks for sharing your story
I had my surgery this past Monday. My surgeon recommended me to keep an ovary if it was possible to ensure that menopause goes smoothly. I would like to recommend the same to anyone having a hysterectomy. My fibroid went from 12cm to 16 cm in the matter of a month.
Thank You so much! ❤
Very informative thank you
Thank you for this wonderful video . I’m thinking in doing hysterectomy but I’m worried 😟 so watching these videos and listening to people testimonies . I have fibroids and anemia killing me
I had the same procedure with a bikini cut. I suffered for years and I’m telling you the moment I woke up in the PACU I felt better. Everyday has been better than the next. I lived in years with pain and anemia, the surgery was the best option and I feel great!
It was challenging and unbearable because of how critical my health situation was. but I am grateful and happy to have ordered Dr Aluda herbal supplements on RUclips which I used and it shrunk my multiple fibroids🥰🥰🥰
Thank You for shareing your exsperience it has put me at ease. I have not heard anyone mention how the area around the incision feels. I am 4 weeks post hysterectomy and inside above my incision it feels bruised and hard. If I stand to long or walk to much it gets harder and more sore. Were you also swollen above your incision. Thanks for shareing & careing🌈all the very best in your recovery and going forward🌿
Very helpful info
Hi thank you for sharing your story...im 16 days post op from a full hysterectomy...its only now im beginning to come around and eat little portions again...i had terrible problems with gas...
❤❤Thank you for sharing. I've subscribed. 😊
Like all the other gorgeous ladies above, I’m grateful that you made this video and then I came across it. I enjoy your details and the list you get. I am soon to have a hysterectomy myself. My uterus is full of fibroids not just one but multiple. I have noticed some thing very different in my energy and how try as I may, I couldn’t lose weight and find the energy to want to do it. I thought I was just getting old lol and then I was weaker in my old age. (Only 50) with menopause around the corner. I had a doctor told me to just wait but I’m in pain almost every day I can’t sit for long periods of time and I can’t stand for long periods of time I started over in life and have 11 year old twins that I like to stay active with but right now they have a mom with very low energy but can’t keep up…. Hopefully my weight for a long time but when the pain got too much, I went to the doctor and it turns out that it’s all due to fibroids. Happy to find out that it wasn’t just me and can’t wait to get them taken out. Thank you again for your video.
I am just curious to know if you had your surgery and how it went, and how are you feeling now. Getting ready for a surgery,really scared😢.
Great video❤
Thank you for this very helpful video

@@leyvamichelle no, stop hurting people with fake cures.
Wonderful video tysm for sharing. My surgery is in early January and I’m nervous. I have no help at home so I’ll be doing this alone. I’m 60 years old and I’m anxious for this to be over and done.
@robinsummers7928 sending positive energy your way and I hope you are doing well. I hope someone was able to help you at least once during your recovery. If not, you are strong and awesome! *I am two weeks post op.
I just had total abdominal hysterectomy surgery 10/3/22, my post op recovery is going pretty well, thank God, there's no complications, I felt so so much better in my body. However my cravings have disappeared 😊I only having small portions of food because I getting full very fast, but overall I am doing wonderfully.
That’s great Jeannette! The first few weeks can be a bit rough but I suspect that each day will be better than the last. I’m 4 months post-op now, down 16 lbs and feel better than ever ☺️
I went for my full Hesterectmony and removed my ovaries as well on October 12, 2022 and the surgery was successfully done I had to be at the hospital at 5:30am. I was discharge the next day at 11:30am, I am not in that much pain only when I am trying to lay down and get up same as sitting, coughing, laughing. Other than that I am ok. Having took a shower since I been home, I am to afraid that I might get to much water on the incisions. I don't want to cause no infection. I am glad that you doing well.
@@fayewren5865 I'm feeling very good I must say.
I go in for my total hysterectomy in 3 days and I'm 31!
Adenomyosis, endometriosis and fibroids as well as ovarian cysts. Thank you for sharing 😊
How did it go? Was it an open hysterectomy? I go in for first stage cancer on jun 7th.
@@hoyconjessi5141 I hope they get all the cancer for you. Please keep me posted. My surgery was laparoscopic and lasted over 5 hours on the table because all the scar tissues and hernias that I had. We got the cervix and uterus out but I had damage. Perforations of the bowels and bladder but everything was fixed and I'm healing now. Two weeks yesterday and it has been rough mostly in the mornings. Have to go back under laparoscopic for my hernia repairs.
Just be sure to listen to the nurses when they say don't lift anything and be sure to get up and walk as much as tolerated. Good luck with your surgery Hun.
@@usamommy4446 thank you for sharing your experience and hope you soon heal completely from this. I will definitely keep you posted on my recovery ♥️ lots of hugs and love from California.
@@hoyconjessi5141 I'm in California too 😁 Good ol' NorCal!!
@@usamommy4446 I’m in Central Valley Merced. I get my hysterectomy done at Stanford 🙌🏼
Thanks for this video. My fibroid is 20cmx18cmx12cm, and "eviction day" is in 3 weeks. I really appreciate your video and you sharing your experience.
go for Agbara Fibroid Remover, This Natural herbal Medication is a life saver for any woman suffering from this
Girl I am so nervous. Single mom here too. Going through a hysterectomy Aug 23rd to remove everything but my overaries because of a Huge fibroid,
My uterus is enlarged measuring 20.3 cm in craniocaudal dimension, 15.2
is estimated at 2000 cc( Dr said it's the size of a small watermelon )
I know I'm gonna be crying 😢
Lets pray for each other
How did everything go
I am post op day #3, I had a total hysterectomy with a bikini cut. The worst pain I’ve had has been better than the best day I had with fibroids. I have my life back. I’m a doctor and I was still scared but it was fine. The major complication is bladder and ureter damage, discuss with you Gyn and have faith in the process. I had intrathecal morphine and bilateral TAPS. The pain management was critical for me to be discharged the next day.
Urmeaza sa ma operez de un fibrom de 10 cm,imi este teama sa nu mor in operatie😭😞😭😭😭
Just had a total hysterectomy a week ago and recovering a little every day. Hope you are doing well, please let us know how you are feeling a year later.
So glad to come across this. I had huge fibroid (volleyball size), ovarian cysts, had radical abdominal hysterectomy...Surgeon even took ovaries, cervix. Surgery was June 30, 2022. My incision goes from belly button all the way down. 6 week visit Dr told me I was good to go back to normal lifestyle, no more than 50lbs. What type of incision did you have, how long did your belly stay round and bloated, did you ever feel like the internal stomach layers didn't close right or were busting open? I'm so glad to find someone who has experienced this whole experience. Not many women are willing to talk.
Thank you.
Urmeaza sa ma operez de un fibrom uterin de 10 cm ,😢😞😭😭😭mie frica sa nu mor in operatie😭😞
Whoa! Volleyball size?! That is unbelievable! So glad you got it removed and have recovered! Hope you’re feeling much better!
Thank you very much for this video. I am having my part hysterectomy next month(leaving the ovaries). 1 big 11cm fibroid and a couple of smaller ones. I really needed this video. Appreciate it.
Thank you for your video . I have been having extreme muscle and joint pain too. I am hoping that it goes away as well . I have 5 fibroids and very bad bleeding for about 4 years now. I went to a new gyno and he said everything needs to come out . I am 51 and blood tests say I am in menopause so he wants everything taken out. I see a surgeon on Monday.
I’m almost 6 weeks post-op now and feel better than I have in years. I hope all goes well for you and that you’re able to get in for the surgery relatively quickly!
What kind of blood test tells you that you’re in menopause?
Having my partial hysterectomy for a large fibroid that’s causing menorrhagia + anemia on March 9th, 2023. I also haven’t been able to exercise without bleeding for around 8 years. I’m hoping this will resolve that issue and I’ll be able to get back into the gym.
How did it go??
Thank you for sharing your experience! I am going in on Friday January 7th to have my Hysterectomy done. It's supposed to be done laparoscopicly. I was freaking out a few weeks ago, but now I feel I'm just ready to get it over with and start the healing process. My biggest fear is waking up in pain. I am TOTALLY NOT trying to take those opioids! I'm going to try my hardest to just do the Ibuprofen and Tylenol switcheroo. Prayers for your continued recovery 🙏🏾❤🙏🏾
Wishing you a successful surgery and easy recovery! Girl, use the opioids if you need to. I did! Then switch to extra strength Tylenol and Advil when you’re ready. 💜
I hope that everything went well for you.
Thank you
Actually I had to avoid fiber because that gave me more gas and that was not comfortable, so as long as you are going to the bathroom for everything I'd advise being careful with the vegetables right after surgery. Then I went with the canned veggies. I didn't have pain from the surgery gas they use to blow up your stomach to see during surgery so I guess they took that back out well.
I have struggled with prolapse, fibroids.. size 12cms.. heavy bleeding .. surgery to mesh my uterus up to my ligaments in my back.. still in a lot of pain.. just staring to recover from infected fibroid… and still… I am but considered priority! I’m 55 years old and going through menopause.
Not considered priority!
Get well soon . Sending you lots of healing.
Thank you so much for your videos... Yr story is so much like mine, only that I didn't have large fibroids... I'm exactly 6 weeks post TAH... And I'm healing just fine... Only I feel so weak in my lower back region and knees.
And I'm beginning to have hot flashes...
I was diagnosed with Arthritis in 2018... And fibroids was already giving me hell.
And today I learn that fibroids causes joint pains.... Do I really have Arthritis ?
I started women’s health check up 18 years ago at age 40. Now in 2023 I have a 220mm fibroid🤔 only after MRI revealed that. I wonder how long it took to grow fibroid that big before a doctor suspect and order MRI??😡 Anyways total abdominal hysterectomy is due Oct11,2023 and your video helps to understand and know what to expect next. Thank you ❤
Any reason why you are not considering robotic hysterectomy? I see that has faster recovery.
@@sahach8504
It was decided by my gynecologist. The size of the fibroid. I am not sure if my insurance Caloptima plays a role. I trust that my gynecologist is the expert and he suggested the best plan for me. What do you think? Please share with me your thoughts. Thank you
I am just one example of no robotic surgery option. Fibroid is large and surgeon can't 100% rule out cancer so he wants to take out the whole system intact. @@sahach8504
My total abdominal hysterectomy surgery is postponed to December 4, 2023 in 2 weeks. My fibroid is 13cm and a thickening of the uterus wall? While on anesthesia, a sample will be sent to the pathologist to see if I have cancer and if it spreads. Something that I am not looking forward to find out
@@annakuman9898hello how are you noe
I'm going on 4 days post op and your video has been helpful. I wish I would have practiced not using my abdominal muscles before this.
What exercises did you use to not use your stomach muscles to stand up and sit down. Please post!! Daughter having surgery soon.
I’m 13 days post surgery. I only have the one ovary left(pcos), very similar experience, my inner thigh and pelvic and joint pain have not decreased at all. Any suggestions
Where are you from? In May 2022 I was in ER for kidney stone. CT scan noticed growth on ovary. Had other tests done that month. End of June I had total hysterectomy. It was same day surgery
Thank you so much h for this video and for sharing. I’m terrified to go through this surgery in a couple of months. I have 6 fibroids and a belly that looks at least 4 months pregnant. I’ve been so hungry lately so I’ve put on some pounds too. Did u have a laparoscopic surgery?
Have you use Agbara Fibroid Remover?? It is a life saver for any woman suffering from Fibroid and other infertility problem
Just had my abdominal hysterectomy 5 days ago , still in pain and recovering . 😊
How are you? I’m post op day 3, feeling good!
@@lawyerdoctor i’m feeling better now than before 😊, my energy level is slowly returning to normal . Less pain in my abdominal area .
@@imeldaquirit946 I am so glad that you’re feeling better, every day seems to get better! I hope that you are taking it easy and relaxing, eat more protein than you usually do, wishing you all the best.
Im scared, I have an appt to speak to my surgeon on Sept 22, 2023 about hysterectomy. 😢I'm scared. I'm 49. Have a big ovarian cyst and my CA125 is elevated to 77. That is another thing I'm worried. 😢
@@AuroraCash Don't be scared, it is best to stay positive and see what your doctor recommends. Then think about if that is right for you. You are not alone and I will tell you that the surgery (at least for me) was the best thing I could do and I wish I would have done it sooner. I lived in pain for soo long that I forgot how it felt to feel good.
May I ask what digestive issues did you have before the surgery? I have large fibroids and hope the surgery will help
How are feeling now? I have not seen any recent posts.
I'm currently recovering from surgery. Did you have any bleeding after surgery?
Thanks for sharing but I was curious if you had any constipation issues?
I have a big Fibroid, my tummy looks big all the time, I need a Hystromecty but I live on my own and no one to look after me. I had a ultrasound on mine, had mine 15 years
You need to follow what your doctor is gonna tell you. If you need surgery go for it🙏🏼
I had a total robotic hysterectomy on Monday and it’s Thursday. I am up moving around fine. No pain. I took a shower yesterday. I only stayed overnight one night and went home. I think I over prepared. I didn’t have constipation and a small amount of bleeding from the vagina because it was a vaginally assisted hysterectomy. Drink water beforehand and buy an abdominal binder. Those are the two biggest things. You don’t need all of that stuff. It’s just unnecessary and expensive. Prepping meals is helpful.
Hello, any reason everyone is considering abdominal hysterectomy vs robotic hysterectomy? I keep reading robotic has less complications and considered minimal outpatient surgery with quick recovery time.
How did you find stairs after surgery.
Thanks for sharing your story. Is it normal to still have some minimal seeping from incision at 3 weeks?
If the wound is leaking a lot you should get it check by your GP. Also check if your wound is more swollen or red or there's more pain. It's all sign of possible infection even without fever. Just get it check soon.
I’m 3 weeks post total hysterectomy, and I’m struggling with constipation. I went 5 days after surgery but it’s been 12 days since. Nothing is working and it’s starting to cause pain, and extreme fatigue. My doctor told me to take milk of magnesia and that is not working. Anyone have any tips or suggestions?
What was the anesthesia experience?
Thank you for sharing! Very helpful. I will have similar surgery soon and I am wondering how to practice not using the ab muscles for sitting, standing,, getting in/out of bed - I did a search but haven’t found anything so far. By chance is there a link with that info? Thanks again, it is wonderfyl to hear what to expect and how to prep.
There were no tutorials that I followed Carol, I just practised using other muscles instead of my abs. Trying different movements, different ways of sitting and standing and getting out of bed, will help you determine how best to do it without using your abs. Best of luck with your surgery!
Thank u!
sleep mask is great!!
Absolutely integral if you want to get a wink of sleep in the hospital!
Did you have heavy bleeding and anemia before the surgery?
Had partial yesterday and could not go pee so had to get cath . It comes out tomorrow praying i can pee normal now
Use Agbara Fibroid Remover,
I have 27 cm fibroid and have been putting surgery off. I am afraid of surgery and any problems during or after.
Look you do not need to undergo surgery Just go to the herbal Market and Buy Agbara Fibroid Remover and use it for 3 weeks , No matter the size of that Fibroid it will shrink completely and it will never come back.. This Natural herbal medication is a life saver for women who are suffering from Fibroid, Cyst, and other infertility infections.
Why did you not go to urgent care or the E. R?
Hi, good video. How are you doing now?
Thank you !!! How the heck do you practice not using abs. Is there like a video example , ha sorry I’m a visual learner
How long where you on the opiods before you tried going of?
I was on them 5 days and had to get off after my hysterectomy.
omg I named my huge fibroid Blobert (rhymes with Robert). I even got my doctor calling it that lol!
I having a full hysterectomy taking everything out including my ovaries, The surgery will be on September 28, 2022. I never had surgery before and I am so afraid.
The reason why I am doing this because in December 2021 I had started to bleed so I went to the OB/GYN to see what was going on and find out that I have 3 fibroids, (polyps which that was removed), thick lining on my uterus.
Oh my God I am just so afraid mainly pain after surgery. Please give me some feedback on this.
How did your surgery go?
@@JH-yg5oo Hello! I had my surgery on October 12, 2022. There was 2 thing that I was afraid of and that was the IV and the catheter but I was asleep when they inserted it. The survey came out successfully when I woke up I didn't feel no pain or even throw up. When I got up to get out the bed to use the restroom then I felt a little pain and getting back in the bed same with sitting and that lasted for almost 2wks. The catheter didn't hurt when it was being taken out. They let me go home the next day, My cousin came from Miami to be with me for 2mons and 2wks. Went for my 6wks follow every was ok and I was healing well. I have been doing a lot of things, Just not allow to lift anything heavy or push any thing heavy. Other than that I am doing ok. Thank you for asking and have a Happy 2023.
I’m glad your surgery went well. I have mine scheduled next month a total hysterectomy with both ovaries removed. I was a little nervous about it so I’ve been trying to do as much research and hear from other women who have had this procedure. Thank you for responding.
@@JH-yg5oo I had a full hysterectomy and I had everything removed including my ovaries. Everyone body isn't the same I watch videos as well and some women made like they was in so much, which they could have been. But don't worry about it, I was the same way and I worried for nothing because it wasn't nothing to it. Just read you some Bible scriptures on healing.
Thank you. I definitely will.
How are you feeling now? I have a abdominal hysterectomy coming up.
