HYSTERECTOMY DATE

Hi Gloria, please don’t worry sweetheart, you will be in safe hands. At my prep I weighed 16 stone 10lbs and had my op a week after. On the run up to op I’d been given exercises to do to get fit for it. I couldn’t manage to do them all. I have pain in my knees when walking and we live on a hill so I walked round the garden. I had to do 20 mins of exercise each day. When walking I broke it up into short walks sometimes only managing 3 mins a time because of my knees.The point was to get me breathless but still be able to speak. I started to eat healthy from the day of my diagnosis. I’ve never had to get on an exercise bike at a pre op, that’s a new one on me. At no time did anyone mention me be being overweight. Really hope your op is robotic as I believe that is an easier recovery. Wishing you all the best and please keep me updated on how it goes.

Where it says prep I meant pre op. Flipping predictive text.

Hi Sue,  Thank you for your kind words , I think these things happen to us when we are not prepared and then suddenly everything changes overnight, anyway I will feel better once the operation is over, I am really lucky I have a good husband and family support I will let you know how it goes, take care Gloria x

Hiya I had my surgery through keyhole on Friday, they also removed a very huge fibroid through my vagina as the consultant said he didn’t want to cut me but left a bit of a tear.i was in St Mary’s for two nights and came home last night. Pain wasn’t too bad I seem to have more pain down my right leg for some reason and still losing blood. I’ve been up today had a shower and a little walk down the garden but I think that’s enough for today. Thank you everyone for all your support and onwards and upwards in my recovery xxx 

Hi Y12. So pleased to hear you’re now home and doing well. Wishing you all the best for a continued good recovery. 
Onwards and upwards.

Hi sue,  I had my opp on Thursday afternoon by robot got back home Friday afternoon I was the only one on the list  got a gorgeous Greek surgeon  George Michael look-alike  he was really lovely kept smiling all the time, he came to see me on Friday morning with his team and gave me a big cuddle and we took a selfie and photos of the team , I took a teddy bear in with me and one of the admin girls made him a little armband and we gave him the surgeons name so they let him come into theatre with me , he did say the operation was quite difficult because they had to negotiate my umbilical hernia but all went really well  just a matter of waiting for histology results now, I didn't feel too good last night and have got terrible trapped wind but I am just glad the operation is over now,  hope you are getting better with each day xxx Gloria. 

Thank you SueB4 

Its been a bit of a week ended up with two infections a water and a wound infection felt really poorly for a few days.No appetite and no sleep. I managed to get myself to the GP for some antibiotics and thankfully I think they are starting to kick in as I’m feeling much better in myself, still in a bit of post op pain but I can handle that. Managed a walk up and down the Ave today too. Xx

Awww great to hear all went well xx

Hi Gloria, So so glad to hear everything went well. A gorgeous Greek surgeon wow lucky girl. Good to know you had it robotically. I didn’t have the trapped wind but know it can be extremely painful. Hope you get some relief from it soon. My wound is still leaking but it is now slowing down. I go to my GPs surgery every day for it dressing. I feel really well in myself and only had to take paracetamol for three days after surgery. The upside to having to have a hysterectomy was they repaired a large incisional hernia at the same time. I’d had it for a number of years. I go see my consultant on Monday but don’t think they will have the histology results. Sending best wishes for a continued good recovery. Onwards and upwards.

Hi Y12. So sorry to hear you have two infections. Glad you’ve been put on antibiotics. Fantastic you’ve been for a walk outside. Hope you are getting more sleep now. I myself am getting broken sleep but at least I’m getting some as didn’t sleep a wink while in hospital. Hugs to you.
