Post op 3 days da Vinci
I had the da Vinci hysterectomy. I had everything removed but the ovaries. The on q pump came out this morning. I am ok, but the pain sucks. I'm using the pain meds and Motrin every 4-6 hours. I had a wonderful surgeon. I highly reccomend the on q!! It has been a life saver!

Re: Post op 3 days da Vinci
welcome to the siterhood Tattooed
I too had the dvh with everything gone except for one ovary and my cervix. I dont know what a q pump is, I'm guessing it's for pain meds thru iV? Let me know if you have any questions I might be able to help you with. Most of it I have been through now that I am 6 weeks post op.
best wishes

Re: Post op 3 days da Vinci
Hey Tattooed, your the first person I've seen who's had the ON-Q pump as well. I LOVED it !!! I had two, one on each side of my belly. I was so sad when it ran out. But I had them for well over 2 and a half days. Did you take your tubes out yourself or go back and have them removed?? My husband was able to pull them out at home for me. You can hardly see where they were at now. I just have 2 small red dots. The ON-Q is the best med in the world, LOVED it.

I had just one, but I had my mother in law take it out for me. It is a local anesthetic that bathes the area for pain relief. It's amazing!!!

Re: Post op 3 days da Vinci
Wow! that sounds wonderful! I had a nerve-block that blocked the pain for six hours after the surgery and I thought that was cool.

Re: Post op 3 days da Vinci
I had the same procedure on valentines day. I've been surprised how bad my pain has been. I didn't expect to feel good but I didn't know it would be this intense. My bloating is so bad I look 6 mths pregnant. Luckily my husband is taking care of house and five kids. I only took a week off of work and I'm a little nervous now that it will be too soon?

Re: Post op 3 days da Vinci
Hello Newby Hyster-Sisters!
I'm 23 days post form a davinchi as well.
Welcome to days 3-5...they were downright horrible for me because of the gas. Take some pepto, gas-x or Pepcid and by day 6 you will be surprised and how different you feel. From my experience, taking it easy with little walks around the house is key to recovery!
Good luck!
