Nervous and unprepared
I have a TVH schedualed for june 1st 2012, and I am not prepared. I was told of the schedualing just a couple of days ago. I have read alot of information on this wonderful site, and still feel nervous, scared and unprepared. Also, I am only 34 years old. I was told it owould be an outpatient procedure. I think thats what scares me the most, no hospital stay. What do you ladies think? Any advice is helpfull. Thank you.

Re: Nervous and unprepared
Well I am 2 weeks out tomorrow from my TVH Divinci I also had my ovaries removed. I was terrified of everything. I had never had surgery and was scared of what my life would be like afterward. Things have went great, I spent one night in the hospital and did have to go back for 3 nights because I was running a fever (but that is not normal) You will be fine. I was so relieved when I woke up from the surgery, because I had been so scared. You will be a little sore. Walk as much as you can because that helps with that. I am feeling fine. I am sure you will have a speedy recovery.

Re: Nervous and unprepared
Honestly, I had a weeks notice, hadn't found HS, and made no preparations except someone to watch the dogs overnight. And it all went fine anyway. Someone bought groceries, easy items for me weekly, and I let the cleaning go. So preparation is helpful but not mandatory, what you don't get done can mainly wait. Outpatient usually means 23 hours once you leave recovery, so you may still stay overnight. But I will say my BSO was supposed to be "same day release", and they required someone to spend the night with me, since I'd just had anesthesia. (I ended up staying the night anyway). If they do predict you'll go home same day, ask if they have the same rule, if you're single. I was scared but things all went well, and I was glad I didn't have longer to wait and worry. Best wishes for an easy time for you as well.
