4 days PO feeling surprisingly good

Hello sisters! I had a TVH 4 days ago. Surgery was & 7:30 and was finished by 8:45. I had little bleeding and was home the next afternoon. The worst part of the stay at the hospital was the catheter. GOD those are horrible. I bagged to have it removed on an hourly basis until the nurse finally agreed as long as I agreed to go on my own after and could walk around freely. Easy. Done & done, I walked down the hall and back to prove I wanted to get the heck outta there. Lol Either way, I checked out about 1pm was given 5mg/325 percs and was told to only use for break threw pain as needed and that the 600mg ibuprofen should be my staple medication. Yesterday was the worst so far. I pushed it a little to far...did the stairs 13 of them just to see if I could. Lol I also sat outside with a friend of mine and soaked up some sun. I was very uncomfortable last night. Is anyone else experiencing the irritating and uncomfortable pressure feeling in their rectum area?? I know I'm gassy but this feels different. Its actually not fun to sit. My cramps seem to come & go..,and are manageable. I just feel bloated and gross, almost like how I felt after I had my kids. Weird. I'm off work for 6 wks which seems like a lot. I have a traditional tummy tuck 1 1/2 yrs ago and was only out of work for 1 1/2 weeks! This is WAY easier for those who are curious! Lol But work is going to pay me 100% the whole time soooooo I'm taking it! How is everyone else feeling? Pain scale? Pressure stuff? Bored? Teply when you can!

Ps- waiting on my pathology results..should be in today or tomorrw! Fingers crossed we got it all and need no further treatments etc...

Re: 4 days PO feeling surprisingly good

My surgery was 5 days ago. I had the DaVinci procedure. I feel good too. However I have cramps which are a bit more intense than when I would get my period each month. Located in the same spot I would experience. Cramping is getting more tolerable. as I do like like pain meds, i have not taken them since Friday. I feel extremely fat. My belly is puffy and I am wearing very loose clothing. When I sit, I also feel somewhat strange, pressure in the rectum area. Does anyone know if my symptoms are normal and how long they typically last?

Re: 4 days PO feeling surprisingly good

I am a week post op TVH. I have been having a hard time with pain, dizziness, nausea, sweating and shaking. It feels horrible. I still have my ovaries. I guess they aren't happy with me. I have had a hard time going #2. I have that extreme pressure in my rectum also. I have been eating lots of fruits. It seems to help it out some. I can't wait to feel better. Good luck to you guys on a speedy recovery.
