Post op dr visit was super so why am I not happy?

Well I just returned home from my 4 week post op dr appt. The doctor has released me from all restrictions and has told me to resume life......So why am I not feeling relieved? Probably because the doctor did nothing but look at my incision and press my stomach a few times.when I told her that I seemed to be having hot flashes and insomnia she replied that she didnt know why that would be because my one remaining ovary was fine. She suggested that perhaps I was in pre-menapausal stage. When she told me I could resume all activities I asked her if that meant I could start back running...she said i probably needed to walk for a while! There was no mention of looking internally at my stitches so I asked her so when should I be back, she told me she would not need to see me again until a year. not quite what I expected but I guess i will continue listening to my body and trying not to overdo things as I still do not feel healed.

Hi peacewithin48 I also had my post op Dr appt yesterday and he released me from all my previous restriction and told me and my "husband" to resume life including sex and work. I trust my Dr but I really don't think I am ready for work or sex so I asked him if he could give a couple more weeks to heal better before returning to my physical job. He only also looked at my external incision in my abdomen did not even touch me. I am also having some hot flushes even though i kept my 2 ovaries, he said that my body is getting used to the changes. I do need to follow up within him within 6 month and told if I have any discomfort with any activity to call him if I needed more time off.
I would definitely keep listening to my body and take it slow, I will not be running for now only walking and no sex for at least 2 more weeks. sorry hubby... I am supper scare to tear anything inside.
Good luck with everything we will be fine just keep taking one day at the time.
Big Hug...

hi yen77. Thanks for sharing your experience! That makes me feel a little better. I am also scared of tearing anything, perhaps I have read too many post! I would have been really lost if not for the wonderful ladies like you here on Hystersisters!,, I wish you the best
