Surgery this Friday 24th of May
Had my pre-op today...
I'm very nervous. Having the DaVinci and made the mistake of watching it on youtube
My doctor is conservative in that she would like to keep the ovaries. I do have 2 cysts on my left and she will determine when inside, whether to keep or take.
I would like to know those that have had this, what your recovery time was? I am really needing to be back at work at the 6 week mark but they still put down for 8 weeks.
Also, I am reading on here about all the painful gas after surgery. I take it, I'm not going to want a lot of company listening to my lack of control?
I'm not looking forward to any of this..

Re: Surgery this Friday 24th of May
I am at 5 weeks now and doing pretty good. Only a little pain that increases slightly with doing too much. I still get tired, but not overly so. Depending on your job, you may be able to go back to work. Now, I don't know about the other ladies but the gas that hurt me was the kind that settled into my shoulders from the gas they pumped into me. Not the "tooting" kind...LOL But the nurses in the hospital gave me meds and it was gone by the time I was discharged. Good luck!
