Recovery Progress Reports for Hysterectomy dates Mar 26-Apr 01,2012

I have my 6 week follow up tomorrow! Excited! Been feeling great except for swelly belly every evening and some days...it's really annoying. But my energy has increased and I am super motivated to start exercising. I have no idea where this motivation has come from (maybe anemia is gone?)...but I want to harness it as soon as I get the all clear to do more than walking! I want to ZUMBA!!!!

Hi everyone I had my surgery on March 27, 2012. After I got home I thought I would die of the pain in my stomach. I had a partial hysterectomy, I spotted for seemed like forever but it was mostly my fault because when I left the hospital the doctor told me not to do ANYTHING when I go home. I did not do anything for the first week but when your husband and two daughers fuss about who will clean what or wash what I got up and helped out so I did not have to hear it. BIG MISTAKE LADIES!! If the doctor tells you not to do anything LISTEN PLEASE I bled alot for being hard headed. But I learned within the next few weeks. This week the date of May 8th 2012 will be six weeks for me and I feel wonderful, no bleeding six the beginning of my 5th week. I had my first love making with my husband and it feels better because I do not have to worry about the heavy bleeding anymore. This procedure helped me concentrate more on my family especially by husband, I know if I had gotten tired of my body before the surgery I suspect he had to but did not want to say anything. Ladies as long as you are doing the right thing when you come home from the surgery everything will fall into place so do not be concerned if you bleed more than you should just sit down and let someone else do what you are doing for you, it works and you will be happier in the end.

I know some of you want to get rid of that belly as easy as you got it but my advice is to wait at least two months after you have surgery. You can relaspe if you do not take it easy. But I feel you wanting to get your figure back.

Consmithml, my story is similar to yours. I recovered ok but I did a little too much and bled.. Now I am ok. Now I am so afraid to do any kind of exercise except walking. I am afraid of hurting something or afraid of bleeding again. I still do not know the cause. What kind of exercise are you going to do?

Since it has only been six weeks I will walk only. I have already lost 12lbs since my surgery and I would like to lose more but only in my stomach. That is why I will only do walks at the moment. After two months I will do some butt lifts because I lost some of that too and I want that back.

when i came home i rested about the first three weeks my husband did everything the kids would go to school sleep sleep sleep by my 4 week i wouldn't sleep no more if i took a nap know i wouldn't be able to sleep at night. know im on my 5 week when i went in for my 2 week post op my doctor said what have you been doing laying around he said its closed on the out side and look s good well you can get in the bath i said OK thanks and know when i sneeze it don't hurt the first week when i sneeze it felt like it was going to all come out yesterday when i sneezed it didn't hurt at all so i know its getting better after three c section i knew i could handle it but it is the sadness i Thoth when i would see a babys it would make me sad but it don't im happy with this i love baby's just i don't wan't no more im just sad for the ones who didn't get to have one im sorry for you there's one out there that needs a good mommy and a good daddy i don't like the ones who have the chance to have them and they ether lose them or kills them or gets rid of them there are a lot of women who would love to have kids and they can my step mom couldn't the doctor told here she will never have a baby so the found a 8 month little boy in a van on the side of the road in the desert it was hot they took im to the nearest hospitable and they ended up getting him for adoption he is know 22 years old and when she was turning 45 she wen't to the doctors she was thinking she was going threw menopause she was leaving her appointment and the doctor said i need to talk to you in this room they wen't in and he said sit down she says whats wrong he said your pregnant she said o my gosh know she has a boy and know he is 14 years old so the point is have faith you never no what can happen don't ever live in fear it will make everything worse put it in gods hands love all you ladies we have the hard road but it how we take care of it two im happy my other doctor who has help me threw my depression before when i had my little girl. she put me on Zoloft about a month ago and i was on cynbalta im weaning of the Zoloft it made me feel crazy but know im on cynbalta and im feeling good you all have a good day and week rest if you have to live laugh love

Exactly like that but its not continuous just sometimes, I haven't got the nerve up yet to look down there, maybe its just some swelling from being more active, don't really know
