Anyone had an LSH

Hello. This is ConnieK.
Just wondering if there is anyone out there that has had an LSH. Got info on it and sure doc. will inform day of surgery. Just looking for some insight.

Thanks, ConnieK

Hi ConnieK,

I had a LSH. I am one year post op and still very pleased with my surgery results.

I had surgery at 7:30 AM at an outpatient facility and went home the same day at 6:00 PM. I had the option to spend the night if my Dr. had wanted me to. I had two small hip incisions and a belly button incision. My Dr. cauterized my cervix so I do not have a mini-period in post-op. A small % of ladies get a mini-period in post-op if they keep the cervix and one or both ovaries.

In post-op, I got around pretty good the first two weeks. Just slowly. I went to the video store by day 3 and the market by day 5, with my DH or mom driving me. Could not drive for first two weeks due to prescription meds. I can suggest just get lots of R & R, drink lots of fluids and do some walking if you need exercise.

I went back to work at 2 weeks with my Dr's okay. 3 weeks would have been nice. I got a greenlight for all activities at 6 weeks.

I can suggest just say ~no~ to any activities in post-op that sound like too much. We LSH ladies look great on the outside and we are still healing on the inside. I think the first 6 weeks are the most important for healing.

Here is a brief link that goes over the LSH:

Thank you for your input. Hope mine goes smooth also. Have tried to prepare family and dh. But hopefully up and going before I know it.

Thank you.

I had mine Monday. The cuts are so small and am feeling great. The healing seems to be faster.LAVH/BSO
