I have a dr appt today and I need the right ? to ask

I am having surgery on Tue and am getting nervious. My mom died from ovaian cancer when she was 45 so I am having a total hyst. I have a benign cycst on my right ovary. I am 49 and pretty much done with menapause. Help me think of ? for my doctor. I have tons but didn't write them down. I am worried about how sex will be after. My husband is wonderful and very supportive but I don't want to not be able to enjoy sex. I am not really too worried about pain but just the hospital thing...I really need to calm down.

Hi

I know there are lots of places here where people post certain questions you need to ask your DR. I found this website in the resources section of hystersisters and maybe it will help you.

www.preopguide.com

I was not one to ask my DR many questions..I just said lets get this thing out and see what happens later! I know some sisters want to know certain things and that is good to ask questions. I'm not one for details on something like this. My DH says I trust in DRs too much. But what I lack in the question department my DH makes up for in the find the answer department...and he will ask the DR what I don't.

I am rambling...sorry. I wish you the best and pray your surgery will be smooth sailing and your recovery will be quick!

Sewing queen, Here is another list that should help you gather your thoughts. Hope all goes well!

I love your name - I like to sew too.
I'm happy that you joined Hystersisters, it's the best place to get hyst related info, share experiences and support.

If you cllick here , it'll take you to a great list of pre op questions. I printed the list, added a few of my own and took it with me to my pre op visit. They were ALL answered and helped a lot.

I had a tah/bso 3 years ago. I was a bit worried about afterwards too, but I'm happy to say that my DH and I still enjoy our intimate time together

Although I'm allergic to pain meds with any narcotics, I was keep pretty comfortable during my recovery. One of my biggest problems was boredom from inactivity - I am usually very active.

Best wishes, please feel free to ask any questions that you may have. The ladies here are great with sharing.

sweety,
We all have been there.Just wanted to remind you that on the web site there is a check list that you use. Maybe that will help answer a lot of your questoins.I saw that one of the sisters printed it out and took it to the Dr with her .Dont worry just clam down every thing will be just fine and once your in the Dr office the questoins will pop up and also after you leave and think of any questoins you can always call your dr back up.Or just ask us .Hugs lots of good reading here cant beleive how much info that I have found from the dite.I love all these sisters am so happy that one who made this site and help kept it alive thinks to all the other gals who has been here also.

I'm not even 6 weeks post op but I can tell you that everything still works... my DH and I have been enjoying getting to know each others bodies again without the actual act(so fun)....so I can't wait until we get the green light from the dr to actually "start the engines"
