Lots of questions
I am new to this group & I accidently posted a reply instead of a new topic, so my apologies to whomever got a weird "reply" to your post! I am having a TAH & a breast lumpectomy on June 25th. I am worried about cancer findings because I haven't felt right in probably a year. I just thought I was getting old. Now, after all kinds of tests, I learned I have cysts, polyps & tumors. I have no idea what to expect before & after surgery. I am also always constipated so I hope I don't have terrible trouble with that after the surgery. I try not to think about it, but it's ALL I think about!

Lots of questions
to you! I'll keep you in my prayers and hopefully all reports will be good!
I had problems with constipation pre op and was concerned about difficulty post op. I talked to my doctor and got the okay then I started taking an over-the-counter fiber replacement (Citricel Tablets). It helped me get regulated before surgery. The doctor told me I could continue it post op as well. I only had one spell where I had problems going. That was quickly resolved with Milk of Mag.
You'll find this site a god send! It helped me overcome sooooooo many fears pre-op. There are some drop down boxes on the home page that are full of useful info.
Good luck!

Welcome!
Hi, Noot6! Welcome to HysterSisters--best site on the Web! Sorry to hear you have to have a hyst, but this is the best place to get support and info to prepare for it. A lot of us were afraid of cancer before surgery, and most of the time we were pleasantly surprised that it was plain old fibroids causing so much trouble. But I know the feeling of half-expecting the dr to find cancer, and it weighs on your mind. We'll be hoping your problems (pelvis and breast) are benign, too.
If you haven't found the pull-down menus for Ladies in Waiting, click on the 3 princesses at the top of the page and scroll down to find stories and hints from past princesses. There's lots of info there to help you be prepared for your hyst. You also can check out the chat room if you wish. Read all you can here and ask any questions you have. We'll try to answer them, and we will be here to support you through this journey! s and best wishes!
Ruthie
