One day post op and doing fine
It's going to be ok, all you pre-op ladies. I was so scared and nervous before my surgery yesterday and all went well. It's not as bad as I imagined it would be. I had my surgery a TLAVH (hope that's right) at 1pm and went home a 6pm. Woke up from surgery with some pain, maybe a 3 or 4 on a scale of 10. A nurse was right by my side to give me IV pain meds. A tiny bit of nausea in recovery and they gave me something for a that too. A bit later I was able to keep water, crackers and jello down and then I went home.
It's been 29 hrs and no hot flashes yet, I still have my ovaries and they must be ok so far. Barely spotted last night and nothing all day today. A little swollen belly and three little incisions. Sore more than anything, can't sleep on my side and that's a bummer. Haven't eaten much, not very hungry but lots of tea and water. I didn't get a belly band but did put on a lycra tank top that covers my belly and that helps support and feels good. Take a pillow for the car ride home and tell the driver to watch the bumps in the road. Good Luck, you'll be so glad to be on the other side I promise
