Had my PreOp Appointment Today
I met with the dr. who will actually be doing my hysterectomy. Previously I had only met with the nurse practitioner that I have seen for the last 13 years.
I had thought that he wanted to do an LAVH, but turns out that he thinks he can do it completely vaginally! Yay!! Of course, if during surgery it doesn't work out for any reason this might change, but that is how it stands as of now.
My surgery date is set for 12/29.
He said for the first 2 weeks I'll be tired alot. They want me to be as mobile as possible, but not "busy." I also asked about when I could drive and he said as long as I wasn't taking any heavy duty pain meds I could drive when I felt up to it. He said that they kind of play it by ear for how soon you get released after surgery...just depending on comfort level, stats, etc.
I will be having the uterus and cervis removed (fibroids and horrendous periods), and keep the ovaries. The dr. said it was his recommendation to keep them but he would remove them if I told him to...I thought that was a funny thing to say!
Ammmm, I can't think of anything else about the appointment, just thought I'd check in

Re: Had my PreOp Appointment Today
My dr. told me the same thing... I kept my ovaries, but she took out my uterus with multiple fibroids and cervix vaginally. It turned out great! You will be happy with that surgery. Best wishes when you go to the castle!

Re: Had my PreOp Appointment Today
My suggestion is to stay in pajamas for two weeks so loved ones might help more around the house.
And walk as you feel better. First around the house and then outside (well depending on weather). I felt much better with walking. It also helps move sluggish bowels (tmi).
