My hysterectomy is behind me now, and I'm home recovering. Each one of the items I shared in the video is truly needed. The travel pillow and Miralax have saved me many times!!
Wow, that's our girl. Happy you are at home recovering, dear. I think it's very personal, but it would help us ladies to know what to expect if you would continue explaining things, as long as you feel comfortable with it. Fears are dispelled with the open truth.
Big hugs from Spain. Again, very proud of you 😘😘🤗🤗 sending my love and best wishes from Spain.
You will do great ! You have a positive attitude towards it all ! The best thing I did was have that surgery ! Just don’t overdo it once you start feeling good.
Glad to hear you are home now and everything went great...just take this time now to relax and don't do a thing, just RELAX😊
Hi Renee, so glad to hear you’re on the other side of your surgery and on the road to recovery. Continued prayers for your recovery. ❤️
Great to hear you are back at home. Don't over do it. I know it's probably hard for you to just be able to sit and relax because you are such an active person. But the more you can take care of yourself now, the quicker you will be able to get back to your routine.
I had a total hysterectomy (robotic) a few months after enduring 5 weeks of radiation. I know everyone is different but I had no pain at all and used none of the pain meds prescribed. I felt great after just a few days so much I had to be conscientious that I was on restrictions and not to overdo it. I feel blessed that my recovery was this smooth...
That's encouraging. I have that surgery in a week.
April 8,2024
I was just scrolling for info about laparoscopic surgery and low and behold there you were,.,
I am having it 5-9-2024 kinda nervous, but necessary.,
Thank you for the information...see you later gator, 😊 I hope 😮
I just had mine last week and I am not experiencing pain at all just a little stiffness. I pray that you have a successful surgery and a full recovery.
I have mine scheduled for the same day! ❤
I hope you healed quickly ❤ mine is scheduled for the 14th sending you love and light
I know recovery is hard, just don't overdo once you start feeling somewhat better. When I had mine and it was the greatest gift, I have ever given myself.
Wow, Renee - that was very generous of you to share all this valuable information. This perhaps the single, most important video you have done, which together with your live on IG yesterday is a 1-2 wealth of information and a great PSA. Thank you on behalf of all women who will be facing total hysterectomies 💖💖💖
Praying for you’re surgery, that God restores your health and your angels will surround you 😘❤️🙏🏽
Wishing you all the best in your recovery!!!
I also had a total hysterectomy years ago, they have come a long way preparing before and after, they used to keep you in the hospital a couple days now they kick you out 😀 the ride home could be uncomfortable I laid my seat way back almost into a bed that really helped,good luck tomorrow🙏

hope youre feeling ok now, ive had a total life change from mine and its been amazing!
I hope you are recovering well Renee and all the great information and personal experiences help a lot of women. I know how you must have felt having those horrendous periods. I suffered for years. It affected all parts of my life and my career as a nurse. Gladly, that’s all behind me now. Take care! ❤
Renee sounds like your prepared. I’m praying all goes good.
Praying for a speedy recovery ! Who is taking care of your fur babies .
You are so well-prepared! Thank you for sharing so that others facing this surgery will know a little of what to expect. Great tips and prayers for a speedy recovery!❤
Will be thinking of you. Take care.
Glad to here your home recovering … take care . You’ll be back to normal before you know it .🙂
Great info to share!
Wish you the best of luck, Renee. ❤
You will feel so much better! I put mine off for 2 years after my doctor suggested it, so silly I know. Sending love and prayers from Texas.
So glad you had the surgery and you are back home. Thank you for the video during such a busy time. Much love to you Renee and your family. Still sending you prayer vibes so that you will heal rapidly and will soon be full of energy and spunk.🌻🐥🐦👣👣👣😇
Great suggestions! I had the same surgery - don’t forget pads for bleeding.
I had a total laparoscopic hysterectomy in 1992. The Da Vinci procedure was cutting edge at the time. With the exception of a laxative, I don't recall any of that preliminary stuff although they did warn me about the painful gas pockets which I had in my shoulders. I also recall very severe cervical pain for a few days to a week. After that, my recovery was amazingly quick. I was an avid roller blader at the time and was back at it in 3 weeks! Happy to hear you're on the upswing. Have a great Spring and Summer!! ❤
I know you are already recovering but it's nice to see the step by step videos. I'm sure they will really be a help to people. Can't wait for the day of video.
Hello Renee. Wishing you a speedy recovery. It was funny to hear you say how you prepped your house, your body and clean bedsheets. I mentally had to do all those things when I had my hysterectomy also. 😁 Take the time to allow yourself to recover and enjoy being menstrual free. You will be amazed on how great you feel after recovery. 💗
I'm glad everything went well 🙂
Thanks for sharing all that information! I've had a number of surgeries, but the breath mint or mint gum is a new one for me. I never was advised to do that, but it makes good sense. I hope you're feeling much better now!
I wish you the best and I will pray for a successful, quick surgery. You are fully prepared and with family and dogs on your side, you will do well afterward. Just gotta tell Pollux that he can't jump on Mom. When I had my wrist surgery (twice) - I had to keep my hand away from the doggies. It is definitely harder to keep a tummy out of the way. I'll be thinking of you and I'm sending tons of gentle hugs from Sweden.
You are a awesome strong lady, you will be okay, , I had the same surgery on February 10, had no problem recovering, we love you
Good Luck!💞
Best of luck and lots of well wishes. Thank you for sharing so many details. Really helpful for all women who may have to have this done. ❤
Take care of yourself!!
Will have you in my prayers! Thanks for updating us! All the Best Renee❤
Thanks so much
Glad you are home! You rest and heal. Maxx and Pollux will stay by your warm side and look after their mama !
Prayers for you Renee ! Come back you tube when you feel like it .
i’m preparing by myself, this has been the best video so far - helpful tips and straightforward. thank you so much for taking the time to do this for others.
God Bless you, Renee. I know all will go well. As a former nurse and Surgical Coordinator for 12.5 years, I can see you are well prepared. This inspires confidence in your Surgical Team. I know all will be well.
Oh wow Jennifer! You're the gal in the know 😊 My surgery was 12 days ago and I'm home recovering now. Everything I talked about in the video was so useful and absolutely needed. I'm glad I was prepared because it made everything easier and gave me piece of mind.
Renee hope all go well with you after all these thats going on with you. Im now here in the Philippines for good. After my spinal surgery.keep safe n healthy.
Hi Renee, Wow you were soo prepared, i hope you had a speedy recovery. Im in the Uk and having surgery and ive NOT been given any advice except for fasting after 2am.
So soo glad ive come across your video xx
Thank you for sharing everything with us ❤
You are so welcome!
I found the video where you explained the big reason why you chose this route. I would have done the same thing if those abnormal cells were found. Prayers for a quick smooth recovery!
You are gonna do great. I had a full abdominal hysterectomy 4 years ago. It wasn't that bad. They went in through my C-section scare I already had. I also had a Hernia repair done at the same time I had to work with 2 surgeons to make it happen and they both agreed to do it so I was very fortunate. You got this you're gonna do great you're so strong and healthy. I am praying for a quick recovery for you.❤🙏
Thank you so much Monique!
Oh my goodness how wonderful your doctor had these great tips for you! I was kinda blindsided, I had 2 days to "prepare" for my Divinci Full Hysterectomy when I was about 25 years old. I was also in terrible pain the three weeks before. Like, I can't stand straight or lay straight pain. I took ibuprofen the first two days after, and then extra-strength Tylenol a few times after that. I feel like recovering from my belly button piercing was worse! You are going to do fantastic through this, I'm sure you will just wish you had done it sooner. I can hardly wait until you feel like a brand-new energetic and healthy woman. You have suffered way too long. I'll be thinking of you and sending love your way... Starting now!
Dear Rene firstly, get well soon dear lady. You have and are approaching this procedure exactly right and I am sure will make a good recovery.
I have had this done myself for chronic anaemia, once I recovered I felt like a new person and hopefully you will know what I mean soon enough. sending you big hugs and many healing wishes ♥️🙏🏻 Linda and Rufus 🐾🐾
sending well wishes dear Renee. I had one in my early 30 and it was harder than I thought🥰
I’m truly hoping all goes well and your recover smoothly! Best, best wishes Renee!
Thank you so much!
Best of luck to you. I had a hysterectomy in the early 90's, and it was done vaginally. Somehow, that seems like it would make for an easier recovery. Your surgical team is way on the ball for you. I wish i had your hair.
You are a beautiful BLESSING,, you are so kind to all of us.. When you share information it helps people get trough their life with joy.. PLEASE take care of yourself,, it's your time to be kind to yourself !! Relax & try to enjoy it,, you'll be back to busy before you know it..!!! ❤️🤗❤️
Thanks SO much for making this video. I'm really nervous about my surgery coming up, but this made me feel much more prepared.
I had a total abdominal hysterectomy about 8 years ago now and I also recommend a nice hot/cold water bottle next to your bed too. I had one for hot tea and the other for water. I also used a pillow as a splint to get up and to help me sit back down. I don’t know if they recommend it (I’m a RN but have been away from the bedside for a while) I had an abdominal binder and boy was it nice. It helped me feel like everything was sucked in if that makes sense. But of course do what you’re surgical team recommends. Good luck with your recovery. It was the best thing I have ever done for myself.
So glad that you are doing so much better. I am having mine on Tuesday. I'm thirty-seven and a manual wheelchair. I've been nesting all week preparing for surgery and recovery doing projects that I haven't wanted to do and the usual things. Going to change my sheets, clean my bathroom, vacuum, etc. on Monday. I have already food prepped several healthy things and froze them for recovery. I appreciate your suggestions.
Very organized! Hope you’re recovering well ❤
Thank you!! 😊
Im glad i found your channel. I go on, June 20, for a complete hysterectomy. Im 46. Premenopausel.. My periods are horrible, the cramps are unbearable. Ive birthed 5 kids. 3 C-sections and 2 vaginal.
Ty for all your information
Wow, that’s quite the list. I’m pretty positive that they just told me to show up..lol Luckily, it wasn’t a big deal,except for the incision hurt, so you’ll be great but having it done laparoscopicly. I had that with my gall bladder surgery, and having my stomach blown up was actually the only pain I felt. Not really pain, just so uncomfortable. Good luck!! 🍀
Sending prayers. God Bless ...
Thank you so much for sharing y our surger. Its really helped me prepare for my own.
I will make a note that My Dr said not to shave anything 5-4 days up to the surgery. due to any open mini wounds that might be open for infections. There are a lot of super bugs that might get in from hospital. Thanks again for sharing!
I’m so glad I found your videos. I’m scheduled for laberscopic surgery on March 1 - enlarged uterus and large fibroid. Mine is 9.7 cm. They said they will start out as laberscopic but it might turn into open.
Like you I have never had any surgery- so very anxious
Very helpful list for my upcoming surgery! Very thorough!
Best wishes to you on surgery day 💕
I admire how you share valuable information and you are not embarrassed to do so. I had a hysterectomy many years ago and based on what you told us, things have changed. I like the checklist of things to have on hand and I’m sure they helped. I am so glad you had this done; believe me, you will feel so much better!
Thank you so much!
Hi Renee, will keep you in prayer. I'm sure everything will go as planned, including recovery.
Thank you so much!
Will b praying for u.
I missed the video of WHY you are doing this surgery.
My doctor would Not give me a hysterectomy! He said I need the hormones & didn't think it's worth it. I had alternate/temporary things instead. I'm So glad I listened to him. Being in my 50s menopause was right around the corner.
THIS IS GOOD INFORMATION FOR ANY SURGERY. I WISH I HAD KNOWN IT FOR MY HYSTERECTOMY. THANK YOU
Thank you!!!
I just had my complete hysterectomy an I did watch your videos before hand. I'm into my 4th day and am watching your videos again to compare my issues. I can't believe it but you are spot on with the way things are progressing and what I'm going thru. Thank you for helping me out and encouraging me the dos and don'ts I should not be doing. This is great!!! Kathy
So glad my video are helpful! I've documented everything up to my one-year hysterectomy anniversary. Wishing you the very best!
Will keep you in my prayers🙏. So many of us have had hysterectomy surgery theses days. Laparoscopic is so much easier to recover from than an open procedure. So glad you can have it laparoscopic surgery. You have been given excellent pre-op instructions. Constipation after surgery is the worst if you develop it. Your husband will take good care of you❤️
I want to "keep things moving along" after surgery!!
So glad to hear you are recovering well! Listen to your body as I know you do🥰 As a retired nurse and having has open procedure hysterectomy for endometrial cancer I have a bit of understanding of all you have been through. You will do fine! ( Hug)
You simply can't discount the importance of hour husband! After my accident, it was my husband who was my rock and who really likely saved my life. So many times, I felt like "letting go" and to just stop fighting. My husband wouldn't let me do that. I don't know that I'd have survived (and recovered as well as I did) without him. He was biggest cheerleader during painful physical therapy, but wouldn't let me slack off at home and would make me do the painful exercises at home. I wasn't real happy with him right at that moment, but if I hadn't done that, my recovery wouldn't have been as good. And when I got home from the hospital, my dogs and cats being with me in bed or on the couch made such a huge difference. They were the best nurses I could have ever had.
Thank you so much for this informative video! My surgery is next Wednesday and my doctor’s office has not been helpful at all. They have not told me hardly anything so I have been scanning RUclips and this is the best video I have seen so far! By the way, you have the most beautiful hair I have ever seen I wish I had your curls!
Thank you for sharing! I'm having a robotic laproscopic hysterectomy next week! This was very helpful! I hope your surgery went well!
Best of luck to you. My surgery was a year ago and I’m feeling fantastic now!
Renee, You are a wonderful ❤️ Beautiful lady. I've been praying for you 🙏🏼 Tyfs. You are a great inspiration.
Thank you so much!
Your pre-op information was great! I thought I was going to get to sleep for the first two days! But oh no, the instructions want you up and moving. I’ve gone to naturopaths for 45 years so I don’t never have taken an aspirin. I felt I didn’t need anything but knew you didn’t want the pain to get ahead of you. I took nothing after the first day. Nothing the doctor told her to take, helped my daughter get her bowels moving, so I told her to do an enema and that released the “plug” they talked about!
The mints is a new one for me....
I never had any problem with my surgery....I know you have alot of support and you'll do well👍
🙏Prayers coming your way.....
And the mint was news to me too....
I did a lot of that before my knee replacement. I even bought me new PJs. And new sheets.
You got fancy!! But I love it!
Best of luck to you Renee! Hugs......
This video was so helpful. I received only minimal pre-op instructions from my surgeon (special wash the morning of surgery) but all these ideas are great. Thank you!
You are so welcome! Best wishes to you 💗
Great information for women to have I did all the house cleaning...food prep also and it was a great help for after surgery. Wishing you a smooth speedy recovery! 🙏😇👍🙂
Thank you Bridget!!!
Wow things has changed alot since the late 90's when I had my partial hysterectomy at the age of 29. I was going to suggest a pillow or a rolled blanket but you got that covered. 👍 You will be in my prayers🙏 God bess
I have the pillow and sooooo glad I did. I've used it many many times already!
I'm in the hospital right now about to have my hysterectomy. These were great tips.
OH MY GOODNESS!!! I'll have you in my thoughts today 💗
Omg! Your hair is absolutely beautiful 😍. Anyway, thanks for this. My surgery is in exactly one week and this was extremely helpful. I'm super excited to not have anymore painful cycles. 😊
You are so welcome! I have several videos on my actual surgery and recovery. They might be helpful to you also. Best wishes!
I had a total abdominal hysterectomy last Friday and your videos definitely helped me to know how to prepare and what to expect. I do have 18 staples that need to come out on Thursday but I’m ready for it! Thanks for your help and ideas! ❤
So glad my video was helpful! Best wishes to you and love that you are feeling better already!
5 days post op robotic hysterectomy and pelvic prolapse repair. Had 2 surgeons- 1 for hysterectomy and 1 for pelvic repair. Surgeon instructions included taking Gas X the night before the surgery and as needed after. Although pain meds were prescribed, I chose to take Tylenol or ibuprofen instead. So far they have done the job. As well as the stool softeners and Mirlax. Doing good, now the hardest thing is to remember not to pick up heavy items. Very thankful for the robot! Good luck!
Sounds like your well on your way to recovery! Congratulations 😊
