Re: Upcoming hysterectomy 3/31: pain levels post DaVinci procedure
I had the DaVinci on March 18 for endo cancer. I have had a very good outcome. In the recovery room, I was initially in a lot of pain, but the nurse listened and it didn't last long. I was brought to my room about 3 in the afternoon. The nurses offered paid meds and I took them. I'm retired, so I think maybe I don't bounce back as quickly. I didn't spot or bleed other than the first day after the surgery. I went home and had no trouble riding in the car for the 30 minute ride; but the driver must go slow around corners and over speed bumps! My stomach was a little sore the first 5 days, but now I'm able to get up and down from the prone position easily. Sitting for a long time does cause me to ache, and I think most women experience the soreness in their vaginal wall, especially if they over-do. My doctor required a pretty aggressive bowel prep so it did take 4 days before the first bm, and I had some gas, but it was quite manageable. I'm thankful everyday for having this type of procedure.

Re: Upcoming hysterectomy 3/31: pain levels post DaVinci procedure
I remember waking up in a lot of pain in recovery. The anesthesiologist took care of it quite quickly. The pain was manageable in the hospital. I was released with percocet and I really only took them off and on the first week. Aleve managed my pain the rest of the time. I literally hung out in the recliner most days and let hubby take care of me. I had absolutely no gas pains from surgery. I went back to my office job at 3 weeks. I will be 6 weeks on Thursday and will see the doctor on Friday to hopefully get clearance on the intimacy aspect. I helped my sister and niece with her wedding this past weekend in which I took off Thurs and Fri from work and ran errands, helped with decor, food prep and what not. I am still exhausted. That was the most I had done since my surgery almost 6 weeks ago. I can't believe how exhausted I am at this point. Good luck at your upcoming surgery.
