Note: We've created a thread for you in the Recovering from Hysterectomy forum based on your hysterectomy date for you to update your progress. However, if you have a question or need for support, be sure and post your own thread to receive support replies.

Another important note: Be a part of our circle of support! Please plan to return to the pre-op forum to answer questions for our pre-op sisters! The pre-op gals need your experience to help them as they plan for their upcoming surgery.

Thank you for the well wishes. Only 2 sleeps now !! So close. Wishing all my sept 23 a smooth hospital stay and speedy recovery. See you on the other side. Any other Aussie ladies here? Sisters everywhere UNITE !!!

I am sending you and best wishes for an uneventful surgery and a speedy recovery as you head off to the hospital.

((bkfranke)) and I will be joining you in the Post Op Forum in the weekly Recovery Progress thread for members having surgery between September 22 -28. We will be there to offer support and encouragement on your recovery journey. Look for it at the top of the Post-Op Forum after your surgery.

A few things I found very helpful for my initial recovery:

• Stool softener
• Gas X
• Moist wipes rather than toilet tissue
• Heating pad
• Pillow pet / Body pillow
• Chapstick
• Notepad and pen (for keeping track of medications)

Here are a couple of links you may find helpful:

Deep breaths, you can do this! The nerves can be really overwhelming. Try to keep busy, clean the house (you won’t be doing it again for a while!), cook and freeze meals, get out of the house and enjoy your family. Take quiet time for yourself, enjoy a bath (you won’t be able to do that for a while either) and stock up on movies and books for your recovery.

Remember rule number 1 is to "Pamper the Princess"!

Thank you! I can't believe we are only two days away now. I am so ready but nervous. Best wishes to all of the other sept. 23rd sisters!

I'm so happy I found this wonderful support system! Much more at ease after reading all the information here, and feeling the love from all the support! We can do this girls! We'll get through this together! Xoxoxoxoxox

Thanks! I found out that they will do a TVH. With a possible LAVH. I'm so ready for my procedure. I have adenomyosis and I'm in pain all day and night. I'm taking pain meds every day to function. Good luck to all you lovely ladies.

As you prepare to go for surgery, I wanted to send you for your surgery and recovery. I will be partnering with Sugarandspice on your Post-op Recovery Progress thread to encourage you along the way and to let you know that you're not alone. It is normal to have questions and be nervous -- we will be right there to help you on this new journey.

I will see you on the other side.

Thanks!!

Thanks. I am very nervous and scared, but know I am making the right choice and will feel much better once I recover.

Thank you to everyone on this site! This has been the best place for information and support! I am trying to find the calm healing place in my mind! Best wishes to all who will be in surgery tomorrow.
