I had a hysterectomy last august and I
tried to lay around as much as possible.
It was hard because I have a four and one
year old but my mom and husband helped
when they could. Please take help when
you can get it and take it easy. I did
not want to be back in the hospital for
anything else so I did as little as
possible for a few weeks. You may feel
as if you are being lazy I did but in fact
you are just giving your body the rest it
desperately needs. Good luck to you dori

Hyster 1 Week Ago Posted: 03-30-04 13:51pm
Hi
i am 36 yrs old and I had a hysterectomy 1
week ago today. I feel great, I only bled
really light for the first two days and
now no more bleeding. I have three
children and I had the procedure done due
to a ovarian cyst and fibriods, I had my
uterus and cervix taken out and part of my
fallopian tube. I have no more cramps and
no more pressure and I feel great, only
bloating and thats it. I too get
frustrated cause I wish I could do things,
I cant seem to just lay down. But I know
I will regret it if I dont. The only
major complaint is the bloating in my
tummy, and also my tummy hangs a little
tiny bit over my incision, and I have to
wear a guaze to make sure it doesnt get
moist from sweat. But other than that I
feel much relief from the pain I once had
prior to the surgery.
Thanks!
Good luck and I hope you are feeling
good.

Hi,
i just wanted to say, i, too, had this
surgery. I am four days post-op, and
have to go see Dr. This afternoon. I
havent done much since the surgery, my
husband and four girls wont let me. The
most I have done is wash a few dishes,
only because I was home alone, and I didnt
like looking at them dirty in the sink.
Wow, I felt like I had run a marathon!
Oh, and sunday, we had a family dinner out
at a restaurant, we ended up having to
take the table upstairs, for some other
people claimed our table, isnt that funny?
And my mother was mad because I had to
climb stairs, but I did okay. I did
okay, I just didnt think a family outing
and out visiting would tire me out so
much! If anyone wants to talk about
their surgery or anything else, please
contact me. I want to talk to others
too!
