Re: Dr can't tell me if it will be TVH or TAH
I went in for LSH, but my gyn said if she couldn't safely continue once she was in, she would have to go in abdominally. I think this is pretty common, as you never know what you'll have until you're in. Well, that's what ended up happening. She couldn't lift my 2lb uterus to see under it, to determine that nothing was adhered to it. Because she was already in laparoscopically, she only had to make a 4" incision. My incision was closed with dermaglue, which was rather cool. My recovery technically would have taken 2 weeks longer (8 vs 6 weeks), but my gyn released me after 6 weeks. From what she told me beforehand as to when I'd be able to do different things (drive, sex, etc), it ended up being about the same timeframe afterwards.
Hope this helps.
