playing this down
So...I am starting to have some concerns about wether or not I am totally happy with my sergen. At the pre op she seemed to play everthing down so much more than I was expecting. I have endometriosis and after reading so many of yalls stories I have this overwhelming feeling that maybe she isnt as concerned about any of this as I am.....
She told me I would be able to drive after the first week and made it sound like I was going to be able to do so much that honestly I have been reading that I CAN NOT DO.
Hmmm....Is this something I should talk to her about and let her know my concerns about the day of the surgery or just trust her with it all?

Re: playing this down
if you feel uncomfortable with her you should not just trust her. did you get a second opinion? are you having a hysterectomy or treatment for your endometriosis. i hope you get the answers you need. take care

Re: playing this down
Maybe she was having an off day. What procedure are you having done? I think recover depends on the procedure and the patient, but if you still have questions you should call her office and ask or get a second opinion.

Re: playing this down
Depends on the procedure. Many do drive after the 1st wk, I did, and some of the things like stairs really vary a lot by procedure and Dr. Lifting is the one that's pretty universal. So precautions do vary. But you should have enough of an explanation to reassure you about what she's telling you. Go with you feel comfortable with, like a phone call or other opinion. I know reading stuff on HS was way more restrictive than my Drs instructions, and they were preprinted by my HMO, not just from him, but were specific to TVH. Some HS "rules" weren't addressed specifically but also seemed generalized or for TAH, not my procedure. So I took them as suggestions. I was comfortable with my Dr, I hope you can find a good comfort point with this or another surgeon. Best wishes for your surgery.

Re: playing this down
Im having the TLH and BSO.
I had laparoscopy here a year ago and was bad enough but it just seemed like she wasnt all that concerned, I thik that the statement that she does hundreds of these just kinda made it seem like I was just another stomach on an operating bed...might call my obgyn and see what she has to say
