Questions answered....TVH 8/15
I had my pre-op with my doc yesterday. He was wonderful, I was actually calm when I left the appt. I will be getting a TVH, leaving ovaries, taking cervix, Staydol as my pain medication, no bowel preps, no packing, doesn't blow my abdomen up with gas, shouldn't have much in gas pains from bowels being moved since it's being done vaginally. I'll be off work 4 weeks. I will have the leggie things on for blood clots, and if I'm not moving around much, he said he could give me heprin if I"m worried about clots. He explained the whole process to me from beginning to end. Oh yeah, driving after a week....lots of questions answered!

That sounds a lot like my preopt appt. I had the TVH also, but I did get terrible gas the second day. Gas X helped a bit. By the time I got home my stomach looked 7 mos pregnant with gas. Ouch! Beware, even though you don't get blown up with gas you probably will have some discomfort. Better to be prepared.
I heal really quickly, but 1 week driving was too soon for me. Dr said the it could be one week, but plan for 2. I'm 12 days out and I think I could drive now.
Good luck. Pray all goes well for you!
