I'm home! LSH, laporscopic, very sore, doc said he cleaned out some adhesions too. It is good to be home :-) hope everyone else has such an uneventful surgery. Now let the healing begin.

It's great to hear that you're home. Now just remember to rest rest rest
I hope that your recovery is smooth with no complications.

Welcome to Post-Op Forum.

I remember coming home from the hospital after my surgery ( even though it was a few years ago ) and wondering what the first weeks would be like. I had so many questions and feelings going through my head. It was great to have the other ladies recovering with me to share questions, concerns and ideas with.

The purpose of this thread is for you to post your progress and see how the other ladies who had surgery this week are doing. I will be spending time with you on this thread to keep you company and to help you by pointing out other resources.

Please remember initial recovery is 2 to 8 weeks, depending on the type of surgery and full recovery could be up to a year.

I will be checking in often to see how everyone is doing and to point you to resources to help with your recovery.

Had robotic hyster this morning - staying overnight - feel OK! Of course...I'm not jumping...yet!

Once the anesthesia wore off - feel pretty normal - 2 tiny incisions and it's sore when I move - been sitting up in a chair since 5 pm EST (now 8:30 pm). On the Internet with my laptop and life is fine!

Who would have thought...and I'm sure I'll be a tad more sore tomorrow...but for day 1...

This Sister just woke up from anesthesia two hours ago. I'll be at the caste until tomorrow. Surgery went well. My dVh/bso lasted a little over two hours. I felt yucky when I woke up --Nauseus, crampy, and with a sensation of having to pee (the catheter that is in until morning, I guess) and poop. I was given something in my IV for nausea and something for pain. I'm here in my room, maybe a 2 on the pain scale.

I slept through most of the day but the parts I remember weren't bad. I'm doing well for just a few hours out.

My Gyn Onc said that he found no cancer and that it would be less than a 1% chance that any would show up on pathology. Yay!

Congratulations to all of us brand new Princesses and good luck to you upcoming ones!

I am home!!! My doc was able to perform TAH/BOS with the Davinici. I came out of surgery feeling groggy, but not bad. My surgery was at 11:30 and I was home by 5 pm!!!! Feeling tired and weak, but not bad at all. With the weather being as terrible as it is (8 inches of snow in Chattanooga) I was so glad hubby has 4 wheel drive, it was a challenge to get to the hospital and then back home. But all is very well. I am so thankful that the mass was not cancer. I feel like a very blessed princess today :-)

First night sleep was okay, hubby snored which is what kept me up most of the time. Took last pain meds at midnight, pain level 2, I feel like I have to go #2 but I'm scared. I've been taking stool softeners up to the day before surgery, so hopefully it will be uneventful.

I am still amazed that I feel this great, laporscopic is amazing, the doctor told me I could drive today! I am not, but he said I could, I can shower tomorrow, and if those sex hormones go full throttle I can have outercourse in 2 weeks! Yippie!

I hope my sisters are progressing well. Take it easy!

The morning after and I am feeling good. Once the anethsia wore off I was not as groggy. I am up and moving, but not really doing anything, just wander around the house. Jump on the laptap for a bit. Then go back to bed and rest off and on. Hope my shared date sisters are doing well today!

I'm home & soo glad surgery is over! Checking in quick & hoping to sleep the rest of the day away. Rough time staying asleep last night even with Percocet Sending all fellow post-op sisters hugs & good wishes!
