d&c biopsy what should I expect?

Will be having a hysteroscopy and D&C on the 27th and will get the results on the 5th. Have to hurry things up because my insurance copay is going up 600% on June 1st, to $1500 per procedure. Can't afford that, so have to get everything necessary done prior.

I wish you well for your upcoming procedures! I hope the results have some answers for you!

Good luck and good results. Hope its an easy procedure.

don't really like the dr. HMO contracted. I feel very rushed during every appointment. they are putting me off work for 3 days for the biopsy.

Dealing with all this while hubby is having a mental health crisis, and hasn't worked steady for 2 years...

too much stress

understand it will be general anesthesia, since I had to get diabetic and respiratory clearances. Should I expect a lot of post op pain? Will I need narcotics for the first day or two? They have me off work for a total of 3 days for this. My doctor is contracted through my HMO and really gives me no face time, so I haven't gotten answers to many questions. Any advice or person experience would help

Hi MissKittyK ~~

I had my D&C and hysterscopy on Dec. 1. First they took me into pre-op and put in the IV and the anethesiologist talked with me. They started to wheel me to the OR and I was "out" before I even saw the OR!! I woke up in the recovery room and they moved me to a chair in the recovery area. I drank some ginger ale, peed, and was sent home. This was a Tuesday and I planned to go back to work Friday, but ended up staying home Friday too. Didn't need any prescription pain meds, just mild cramping, nothing bad. Was just really tired those days.

Good luck with your procedure. Let me know if I can be of any other help to you. Take care!

I had a laparoscopy, hysteroscopy, and D&C all at the same time. My procedures were done under general anesthesia at a surgical center.

As soon as I could urinate, I was released and don't remember feeling a lot of pain. However, once I got in the car, I was hurting quite a bit. But that is the last time I really remember feeling a lot of pain from any of it. I don't even remember taking much of the pain meds I was given. This was 10 years ago so the details are fuzzy! I was up and around quickly, just a bit tender, even took a car trip the next week!

I am sorry that you are dealing with a lot of stress right now and hope that things work out for you and your family!

I had a polypectomy, d&c, and ablation on 3/19. Waking up was the worst because of the nausea. However, I do not remember any pain at all. I was given a script for pain meds, but never took them. By the next day, I was tired and had to nap. Otherwise though, everything was great.

thank you = I fear unrelieved pain more than anything! I hope hubby holds up to all this as well. He gets very panicky in public, and is thrown into an episode when he experiences much stress. I need him to be my driver, but I don't know if he'll be up to it...
