Hello Austinm, God is good! I appreciate your post and I just love the peace God gives. My surgery is Tuesday and I'm having a TAH. I too have been praying and have surrounded myself with Christian support and God's promises. I know God is allowing this to be and trust all will go well and we can use this as another testimony to God's goodness, mercy and grace. My prayers are with you.

Pre-Op Hysterectomy: Open House Chat Thread - Today Jun 26, 2016
Sending Hugs! It helps me to remember that everyone is there for the sole purpose of helping me. Ive found if i can be positive and focus on them instead of the fear i feel much better. I get to hear about their lives and that takes the focus ofg the fear

All my blessings to you, Pumpkin. It's going to be ok, but you have to relax and let go. Everyone else will be fine, it's time for you to concentrate on you right now. Start getting your bag ready, get reading supplies and snacks together, straighten up your recovery room, and relax in it. I was just like you, worrying about my grandson and who would care for him until a friend who'd had the surgery told me exactly what I'm telling you. Let go and let God. It's going to be fine.

Hi all you lovely sisters,
Wow are you doing a great job of taking care of each other already.
I can't give you the reasons for so many different bowel prep instructions. Think it just depends on the Dr and the surgery type. For those worried I was posting to other sisters the night I was doing mine and it seemed like it took forever but it did happen. FYI Jessica I was in a Hotel also and it was easier because I was closer to the bathroom. But I did worry about it before hand.
The cold issue seems to be there for many of us. Unless you have a temp I don't think you need to worry. Just trust your Dr will do the best for you.
Natalie I watched the video also and it helped me feel like they were careful and compitent. We all have to do things our way.
For those who have had C-sections, recovery from this surgery can be a bit different depending on how much they need to do while they are in there. It may be smart at this point to try not to compare.
Hugs for now,
Anndy

Re: Pre-Op Hysterectomy: Open House Chat Thread - Today Jun 26, 2016
I'm 42 and 3 weeks ago a 10cm mass was found sitting on top of my uterus, attached to lyn left ovary. Tomorrow I'm being admitted so that an urgent CT scan can be done with my surgery planned for Wed. I'm having a TAH including appendix, lymph nodes and omentum. I'm still on the fence about hrt as I have an aunt with estrogen receptive breast cancer. I'm not so worried about the surgery as the menopause after.

Re: Pre-Op Hysterectomy: Open House Chat Thread - Today Jun 26, 2016
Hi everyone, I'll be having a LAVH on Tuesday morning due to adhesions and endometriosis. After lurking on these boards to prepare, I asked my doctor in pre-op if I would need bowel prep. He said he had not done that since his residency and felt it was unnecessary and he could navigate just fine without it. He seemed to indicate it was to get the bowels out of the way for the surgeon, which would explain why some prefer it and others do not.
Thank you to everyone who has been posting. I'm certainly nervous but it helps to know I'm not alone.
