Ok, a thought just occurred to me. I know after having my c sections, 3 of them, getting the gas moving is a big deal. And a good thing but I remember in the castle after having my last c-section once it started moving it really moved! I was so embarrassed to be so much in front of roommate and her visitors!! Well, as I said the thought just occurred to me that I'm having my hyster on Monday and have told friends to wait till Tues before coming to see me in Castle and by then I'll probably be like mad!!!!!!!!! How embarrassing!!! I know this is ridiculous but it really has me bothered!!!

First off, a c-section is tons different than a hyst. Of course with a hyst, you are actually getting organs removed and so it may take things a bit longer than with a c-section to actually start functioning again. It took me 2 weeks to move any gas and was miserable until I did. I walked a lot right from the start and that helped move the gas. I had a c-section also but the hyst was very different. The pain was different and all the "after-stuff" was different also. Please speak with the dr. about your concerns with gas and how to move it asap. Perhaps he can offer up a suggestion or two. Good Luck!

I must agree with ladyfirewalker. Prior to my LAVH, I posted something along the lines of "I expect it to be similar to my c-sections". The sisters gently pointed out that it WOULD be different. I'll admit to secretly not believing them. Well, they were right. I too was very concerned about the gas/BM issue, and things did move slower than they had with my sections. So, hopefully, you'll have 'nothing' to worry about post op days one and two! Best of luck to you! My recovery is excellent, I hope yours will be the same. Take good care of yourself!
