Hysterectomy: September 12th, 2006
|
|
Decisions/Scared
My surgery date is scheduled tentativley for the 12th of September. I am now starting to get all worked up. I am only 33 and will be having a full hysterectomy. I only have 1 ovary a cervix and uterus left due to 3 previous surgeries. I also have a 2 year old. My husband is excellent and a big help. My Dr. said he can attempt to complete this with a laparoscopy or use the same incision and fix the ugly lumpy belly left from the previous surgery. Anybody had this done by laparoscopy? Any input would be great. Being Vain on my scar might be something I need to get over if it will be much easier recovery?

I think that your recovery is a small chunk of your life. You are very young and if you have an opportunity to get your scar fixed, I say go for it! Good luck.

It's alright to get worked up. The closer it gets the more worked up you'll problay get. I cried like crazy as we drove to the hospital and really couldn't stop either. My emotions just took over, I started shaking like crazy. I was a basket case and felt like heading for the front door. It all turned out alright in the end. I have no regrets and feel so much better. Wish I would have done it sooner, but put it off because I was so scared. I wish you luck and try and stay positive!

I'm scheduled for a couple days after you. I'm nervous too, but more in anticipation of finally having it over with. I was doubled-over with cramps again today, making me wish these next few days would just hurry by! I hear that laparo is way better, in terms of recovery time. Best of luck as you prepare...I'm going to be doing Sudoku to distract myself!!
