Re: 6 wk post op check
At mine the Gyno checked my incision and did an internal. Asked lots of questions about bowels and bladder.
Told me to still be very careful not to over due it. I can go back to work but to pace my self.
Not sure how you feel but I feel great. Still have aliitle discomfort at times in my abdomen but nothing to bad. My TAH took 5 1/2 hours due to scare tissue and bladder and bowels fused to my uterous.
Best of luck with your continued recovery

Re: 6 wk post op check
I had my post-op check up a couple of weeks ago. The doctor did an internal exam (no speculem), checked my incision, talked to me about easing back into normal life, answered my questions and released all restrictions. I thought there would be pain with the internal exam, but I didn't have any. It was very quick and I was out of his office within a half an hour.
Hoping for continued healing for you,
B

Re: 6 wk post op check
Hi there. I was very surprised that I didn't even have an internal exam. He looked at my incision and discussed the pathology report and said I could resume normal activities. It was a breeze! I was afraid of an exam because of pain but he said he didn't need to do one unless I was having problems.
Best wishes!

Re: 6 wk post op check
Thanks everyone for responding; your insight was so helpful.
I am actually feeling really good; I just have a little mild discomfort just under my belly button but otherwise no pain.
I had a post op appointment at 2 wks (staples removed) and 4 wks ( which was a scheduling error on the part of the receptionist). I myself decided I wanted a 6 wk appointment because I had some more questions that I needed to ask in person.
I am so happy that i have finally made it to this mark. I still know I have more healing to do but at least I am over the preliminary hump.
I had a lot of scar tissue as well and one of my ovaries was destroyed by it.
