I'm excited to finally be posting in this forum. My surgery was yesterday and it went well. Doc said I had a very sick pelvis. That was very reassuring to hear.

I have eaten breakfat And lunch and have passed gas! Never knew if be so excited about that ha ha! My IV is out and so is the cath. Might be going home tomorrow!

Thank you everyone for all your support and advice!

Mine yesterday, the 8th, went amazing! No repairs, home by 11 on Wed. Just sore, but not really any sorer then when I had the kids. No tears after all to deal with.

Tired, my throats a bit sore but otherwise doing well. Yesterday I didn't eat well, but today I've kept everything down, and had my first poot a little bit ago. Nothing from the bowels yet, but that's to be expected according to the Dr. Everything else working like a charm.

I'm so glad I found this site!

I finally had my surgery yeserday..I was completely terrified, but soo glad to have it behind me know. Getting the catheter out was the best thing ever.

I wish they would let me have some food! since monday night at midnight I hqave had a pudding, and a jelllo..

I'm home now! Man does it feel good to be home!

Had my LSH yesterday at 7:15am and came home today at 11:00am. So glad to be home and on the other side. DH is taking excellent care of me- I am so blessed to have him and the sisters on this wonderful site.

Hope everyone is doing well!

had my TVH yesterday at 2:30 stopped at I-Hop on the way home for some real food today at noon. It is great to be home and so nice not to feel weighed down and bloated. It is hard not to do more because I feel so much better!!

Had my LAVH on Monday . Home, eating and drinking fine . Feel remarkably well - bit tired and dizzy but good so far!

Just got home yesterday from surgery on 9th. Walking slowly but feeling better. My biggest problem is shoulder pain.

Had my TVH on Sept . 10th at about 9:00 am.
Woke up in extreme pain. Pain was managed by very attentive nurses with injections of morphine and demoral.
In recovery, I do not remember much. I woke up in my hospital room. For the first 10 hours or so I was able to have pain medication through my IV in my wrist every hour or so. Then the IV came out and we switched to 800 motrin for anti inflamitory, and Tylox. I had a bad reaction to Tylox(too dizzy and naseaus) SO i was started on hydromorphone pills. Much better!
My pain is worse when I lay on my back for too long. If I stand up and take little walks it improves a bit.
I had problems passing urine once catheter was removed, but the Nurse gave me a sitz bath and funny enough it works. I took it home. just in case, I rather not go into the ER saying I can't pee I need a Cath...

I am not sleeping well yet. Itt's 2:55 am right now..LOL
Maybe side effect of all the meds.
But I have nothing else to do but heal and rest.

Hope to hear from some of this weks sisters
