Anyone else excited now... not scared?

I can't wait till this is over now! I feel so good about this now! Everyone's been so helpful! Knowledgeable, funny, friendly! I'm going "in" excited for a better quality of life...not scared to do it! How about you? Anyone feeling better? Here's to great recoveries too!

I also felt excited about my surgery. After DH and I went to the Dr. for the Q and A session and to set a surgery date, I felt elated--I was so happy. Believe me there were some tears in the previous weeks but once my decision was made I was ready to go.

I'm 5 weeks post op and feel very good. The truth is I feel better than I did 6 months ago. I am taking very good care of myself though. Better than before--I wonder if other sisters find that to be true.

This site helped me so much--hope it helps you too.

Yeah I finally feel at peace well sort of I have been going through this for awhile now and many different doctors ultimatly saying the same thing aside from one! But this doctor I have now filled me with information and assured me that I have been through every option out there besides this hysterectomy so its the only way to help myself get to feeling "back to normal" lol I know its true too as I have been suffering from my symptoms since i was 15 years old and i'm only 30 now but I am very ready to make the next atleast 15 years a better happier life can't wait for my phone call to tell me what the doctor and hospital has set for me Hugs:

Thanks ladies....although I thought there'd be alot more though. Oh well. I guess we're all at different stages of emotions. I've had alot of time to come to terms with this.

I felt a little anxious about my surgery a week or so before I went in, but I really calmed down the day or two before because I knew the waiting would be over soon. The day of surgery I was very calm, interested in everything that was going on, and I felt totally prepared. Still feeling better every day!

I am excited right now for my surgery. A little stressed and probably a little nervous, but overall I just want it done and over with. I am trying like H*!! to stay away from everyone at work because they are hacking and sneezing all over the place. I am constantly telling someone to wash their hands and I work at a Dr. office for goodness sake. My biggest fear right now is that I will get sick and they will cancel the surgery. Does anyone know if they will still do the surgery if you have a cold? I have been taking Vitamin C, so hopefully that will help.

I had waited 5 years to schedule my surgery so when I finally got a dr. who didn't say "your too young" but instead said "when do you want to do it?" I was ecstatic! So was my husband he had been dealing with everything I was dealing with for the past 5 years. I am not one to keep my feelings to myself. I was so excited the day of my surgery! I am almost 2 months post op and am so glad I did this. I just got back to exercising at 4 weeks post op. I am determined to lose some weight now! About the cold and not doing surgery I'm not sure on that one. I did start taking vitamin E about 2 months before my surgery because I know it helps to speed along the healing process and I think it did for me. Two weeks post op I was ready to do something and go somewhere and just walk or drive. Well I hope all goes well for all of you looking forward to your surgery!

thekatt44....the sister "soprecious34" has a previous thread entitled "I cancelled my surgery while on the operating table". That's exactly what she did because she had a cold and couldn't breathe. Apparently many drs do not care though. Maybe you could look it up, or private message her to ask her.

Oh, I like your occupation queen_of_disco. That's great to be back to excercising 4 weeks post op. What type of surgery did you have? What kind of excercise do you do? Thanks for the well wishes!

Tomorrow is my 6-week post-op check up and I know the doc will be very pleased with my progress. I truly thank God for my wonderful recovery.

Up until about 10 days ago I was dragging myself around, wondering when the pain would go away and when/if I'd finally start feeling better again. Then, IT HAPPENED. I simply awoke one day last week.....and felt AMAZINGLY BETTER. I can't describe how or why it happened. All I know is that when I woke up, all those things that were bugging me before (pain, feeling miserable, etc) were simply GONE. Perhaps I had a dream during the night that convinced my subconscious mind that I was now healed or "fixed up" and ready to get on with my life....or maybe my body had had enough of this recuperation thing....or perhaps the black cohosh that I started taking finally kicked in.....I don't know, and I DON'T CARE because I now feel absolutely FANTASTIC.

My uterus, ovaries, and cervix are now history and my bladder is now swinging away in its new sling, but I no longer have pain/discomfort, bleeding/gushing, leaking, or any more worries. I'll be turning 49 soon, and for the first time in years I FEEL GREAT. It's about time. Hope you all have the same kind of results. Should have done this earlier!!!

Good luck to you all.
