LAVH: Nervous about surgery

Ok I not sure what I am doing on here. I would love to talk to women about this surgery. Doctor has me scheduled for a LAVH but because of 3 Csections it will most likely be full abdominal.

You've come to the right place. There are lots of very helpful, nice ladies here who can answer just about any question you might have!

Hi Mimi and CDBear. It look's like we are all scheduled for November.
Mimi, I am scheduled for LAVH as well. I had a c-section followed by a vbac, then 2 yrs ago, my right ovary, fibroids and adhesions were removed laproscopically. At that time I also had the TOT sling. I have some apprehension about TAH.
Mimi, are you thinking TAH because of potential adhesions?
CDBear, what surgery are you scheduled for?
Praying for precise surgeries and swift recoveries for all!
(((hugs)))

All I know at this point is that it will be a vaginal surgery. Whether he plans a lap-assisted or not was not discussed, but will be at my pre-op appointment with him.

I have a list of questions a mile long, so I know I'll be in there quite a while. He's used to that from me, though. Every visit I've had with him, I've had a pad with questions!

Hi and My surgery was a LAVH. My doctor performed surgery at 7:00 am on a Friday morning and I was home by 5:00 that afternoon. I am very happy that I was able to have this type of surgery. I am sending you best wishes
Hugs,
Jeanie

If it helps, I had a TAH 5 weeks ago. I feel great & wish you all a speedy recovery.

I had LAVH/BSO over 7 months ago. I had surgery at 8 am on a Friday and was home the next day. My recovery was easy. Actually the ovulation/period pain before surgery was worse than any recovery pain I had. I am so happy with the easy recovery and the way I feel now. It was the best thing I did for myself.

Good Luck and wishing you a quick and easy recovery like mine.

Wow Bev, that is great!! Such a positive experience helps calm the nerves! Thank you for posting!!

Hi Everyone, I was looking for where to introduce myself but couldn't find it... oh well I guess I'll just jump in here if that's OK. I just found out I will need a TAH which I am scheduling for January. Have a huge fibroid. Very nervous since I have never had surgery except for a tonsilectomy. Never had a c-section.
This seems like a great forum to meet others going through the same thing!!

Hi Judith and welcome! I'm new here as well, but there are plenty of supportive ladies here to answer your questions and calm your nerves.
Many (((hugs))) and blessings to you!
