Oh wow y so early? Are you having laparoscopic?

Wow, this is great, back home quickly. Nothing like that here (Luxembourg).

I'm in England.
Yes, mines scheduled to be laparascopic so hopefully that won't change once I'm there.
It seems to be the case that once the catheter is out and you can wee you are ok to go home!!

I am admitted to the ward already this afternoon. They will prep me for tomorrow morning. Not sure, perhaps it is better to sleep the last pre-op night at home.
So hang in there Ladies!

You and I will be in surgery at the same time. I'm quite nervous as well. Having a LAVH and the plan is to keep my ovaries, unless they look angry. 2 more sleeps until we start finding relief for our problems. We can do this!
Sending hugs!

I'm having a LAVH, removing uterus, cervix, and tubes. My doctor said I'll have to stay at least 1 night. If I don't recover well I may have to stay longer, but that isn't typical so fingers crossed I go home the next day.

Good Morning! My surgery is scheduled for 8 September. Lapro with a chance of abdominal because I have a bicornuate uterus (double uterus). Think a uterus with bunny ears. Vaginal is not an option because of the enlarged size. I'm 41 years old and have just recently found this out. It explains a lot actually. Keeping my ovaries. I'm terrified of this surgery! I had an open gall bladder surgery when I was in my 20's and the pain/recovery was unbearable and long. I'm trying to stay positive and hoping that this surgery will be able to be completed lapro as I don't want to have to go through that again. Healing thoughts to everyone!

I can't imagine someone NOT being nervous. We are all hopeful for better health and looking forward to being healed & feeling great, it's just that pesky surgery & recovery that has our stomach in knots.

Best of luck! Keep me posted!
