Re: Surgery tomorrow and Im completely terrified! :(
Very normal to be nervous....not knowing what to expect. I had a TAH on May 4th...I was the first surgery that morning...I was very fortunate...no delays....had a spinal...glad I did. No bad pain...my back felt strained so took the Norco for that. I did make sure to ask the anesthesiologist for meds for nausea before surgery...I sure didn't want to be nauseous afterwards. Whatever they gave me worked. It's a little hard getting out of bed at first, but I walked pretty often after they took out the catheter. I know we're all different, but I had a positive experience....good nurses. I go back Wed for my 6 week checkup....I'm feeling very good....hope she gives me the okay to vaccuum....did I really just say that?? I wish you the very best....you can do it!!

Re: Surgery tomorrow and Im completely terrified! :(
Thanks for all the advice and well wishes girls, as I sit here just about a day and a half away from my surgery! I am keeping myself busy getting my house really clean as I know I won't be able to do that for awhile after surgery. Did any of you feel like a different person afterward? I also suffer from bipolar disorder and panic disorder so I am having a really hard time the closer it gets, but I am doing a great job staying busy and keeping my thoughts somewhere else.

Re: Surgery tomorrow and Im completely terrified! :(
I am a bit scared also, my surgery is in 1 1/2 weeks. I've read the stories and most women claim it's not so bad. I hope i too will go online and say the worry was worst than the pain. Hang in there. Let's pray for each other - I'm sure this will help.

Surgery tomorrow (June 8th) and Im completely terrified! :(
Hi! Mine is 2 weeks from tomorrow and sometimes when I think about it, my stomach flips. I am so nervous, but trying to put on a brave face. Are you one of the lucky ones, or are you getting an abdominal incision? I'm getting the incision. Anyway, I hope you have a smooth surgery. God will watch over us.

Re: Surgery tomorrow and Im completely terrified! :(
Hello Everyone~
My surgery is tomorrow morning. Not looking forward to it, but on the other hand, I am looking forward to getting it over with. Mixed emotions I guess. I am really having a hard time with leaving my family and having to stay at the hospital for a couple days, even though they can come visit. I don't know how well I will sleep there unless they give me meds to help. I don't sleep well by myself.
Well good luck to all of you who are having surgery tomorrow and after that. I hope I will have a positive experience that I can share with all!

Re: Surgery tomorrow and Im completely terrified! :(
reply to Keithfan,
My surgery is total abdominal hysterectomy. I've had 2 c-sections and was told it would be like that but a little bit more. I really don't know how much more, other than i have to keep thinking positive as i know i am not the only one going thru this. I do have other sisters in prayer as i've checked the calendar and there were 25 others - on the same day June 23rd.
I hope to get thru this and get a speedy recovery.

Re: Surgery tomorrow and Im completely terrified! :(
I'm having my lavh-bso tomorrow. I am unable to focus on much of anything because of the stress. I am feeling weak and tired from the clear liquid diet for today. I'm staying cuddled up with my cat. She is helping a great deal.
