3 Days Since Supracervical Hysterectomy Abdominal

Im a new member to the site and i underwent a supracervical abdominal hysterectomy on 03/06/09. My story is a little different because i didnt have the usual symptoms that fibroids give (i.e. heavy bleeding, clotting, large pregnant looking belly) I on the other hand had the following symptoms: lower back pain, frequent urination, and a hard kangaroo pouch under my belly button, and a constant bloated feeling) I went to my annual ob/gyn visit on 02/09/09, and during the exam my ob/gyn noticed my uterus felt enlarged, and the firmness in my belly. He advised me that it felt like fibroids, and gave me a referral for an ultasound. I had the ultrasound on 02/11, and went back for a follow up visit with my dr the following wednesday. I was advised that my uterus was 915cc. in size. WOW! I was floored, and could not, and did not understand what was going on. I am 35, with 3 children, and my life's plans were not to have another, however the options that were given to me were more than i could have imagined. I have never had a surgery, nevertheless a major surgery, and for my 1st surgery to be a hysterectomy, i was not sure how to cope. I had my surgery this past friday 03/06/09 and boy ol' boy was i nervous. Thank God, i had my faith, and a support group. The surgery went great (as per my physician) lots of pain after. my incision was closed with staples, that i actually have to have removed today 03/09/09. Sleeping is uncomfortable, i don't have too much of an appetite, but im taking things in moderation. Im walking around a little, a little gas, my belly is not very swelled, but my back hurts (i guess from my sleeping position) i will get the belly band for my stomach, as i don't feel very supported in my belly at this time. 2 days in the hospital 1st day out. i hope to progress more, and more, but i do realize taking it easy is essential. Cant wait to regain my normal activities in a few weeks.

My advise is Good Luck, God Bless, and just know you are not alone, even when you feel like you are.
