I am a 35yo woman that went through a year of trial and error medications and procedures so my insurance company would approve mt surgery. I had fibriods and extreem bleeding. I finally had my surgery on August 12, 2011. I had a Super Cervical Hysterectomy – I still have my Cervics & Tubes (although my tubes are tide and have been for 11 yeard) My body inside is not bothering me at all. My suture line since it it like a C-section is hurting so bad it is hard to move. If I lay down I’m stuck for a while. If I sit up again I’m stuck for a while. I guess my body gets used to that position and refuses to make “me” hurt again. Getting up is a B**ch so is walking. grrrr the swelling is CRAZY!!!! I’ve had abdominal surgery before and it wasn’t as bacd as this!!!! ANY HELP?!?!?!?

I just had a hysterectomy two days ago and I am doing much better than I thought. They removed my uterus,cervix, and part of my right ovary. I was up and walk the same day as surgery and dicharged one day after surgery. I have also had two c-sections prior to this surgery. I am very grateful for my quick recovery. Just remember the more you walk and move around the less pain in the long end. Good luck!

I am faced with the possibility of having an hysterectomy for a huge fibroid that has been causing me problems for 18 months. I am terrified about not making a speedy recovery as I am self-employed and my husband was made redundant 6 months ago and has yet been unable to get another job yet.
I have heard that the size of the fibroid can determine which type of surgery I have? does anyone know if this is true?

I am having a full Hystorectomy today and i am worried that my healing time is going to be long and i have alot of things to do this summer. I love being able to come on here and get suggestions and all your thoughts. It really helps to know that there are alot of woman that are going through the same thing as me. At 29 I never though that I would be having such a life changing surgery.

I had a total laproscopic hysterectomy three days ago. I get tired easily and wish I could get rid of the gas I feel is causing pressure in my lower abdomine. Other than that, I fell good and hope to return to normal activities within two weeks. I think the fact that I was going to the gym regularly has helped me considerably. At 67 I think I am doing very well.
