Avatar f tn hello mammy70 Please forgive me for the delay in answering your question. In short listen to your body. If it hurts a lot don't do it; likewise, start with baby steps and work your way back up to where you were before your surgery. No sex for 6 wks. Good luck! Regards, Erich T.
Avatar f tn Hello Ladies, I almost feel guilty for asking this question after some of the entries from today. My heart goes out to each and everyone of you!!!! My question is about recovery time. Those of you who know me know that I had a tumor removed and a total hysterectomy with "all-clear" for cancer two weeks ago tomorrow. You all have figured out I'm not a very patient person when it comes to myself, but, hey, it's been two weeks.
Avatar f tn I firstly hope this will resolve the issue but am a little scared in case it dosent and going through surgery for nothing. What does this operation involve and also what is the recovery time. My GP has been fantastic but we both think enough is enough. Any thoughts on this would be greatly appreciated.
Avatar m tn Or in the meantime, I would contact an attorney to try to stop the hospital from discharging your mother as well as requiring them to continue the feeding tube.until you can find another hospital.
1510783 tn?1290096307 I am scheduled to have a partial Hysterctomy because I've been diagnosed with Andemyosis. on December 15th (just my uterus will be removed, so far). What can I expect in regards to pain, recovery time and emotions. I've had my tubes tied for 4 years so I am fine about not having any more children. My doctor is not sure if she has to cut me or go vaginally. I am a little nervous and scared about this major procedure. Any feeback would be greatly appreciated. I am 38 years old.
Avatar n tn How long you stay in hospital depends on where you live, insurance, and your doctor. I live in Canada and I was in for 5 days but I have heard of others in for as little as 2. Did you have open surgery for your hysterectomy? The recovery time is very similar. I found a lot of pain for the first 2.5 weeks. Hugging a pillow really helped and very important to stay on top of your pain meds. My pain started reducing then and felt much better by the 4 week mark.
Avatar f tn m not in the same boat but my mother in law just had a full hysterectomy due to cervical cancer. She stayed in the hospital only one night and was up and walking about the next day. I think you can pretty much expect your recovery time will be similar to that of a regular C-section. The C-section is the more major of the two procedures. However, the fact that you're asking on this forum troubles me.
Avatar n tn I think it takes time to heal after a rectocele surgery. I think you're coming along fine. Your surgery was in Oct, how do you feel now? I just has the surgery on the 15th of Decemeber......healing is taking longer than I expected, but I'm doing okay. Is your life back to normal? I'm wondering if I'll ever feel "normal" again.
Avatar m tn There is variance in recovery times. Some patients were back at work in five weeks others several months. Your current health status may put you in the several weeks category. For some insight, right after the surgery, you will be kept in ICU unit and closely monitored for around 24 hours to 48 hours. . If there are no complications, you will leave the ICU and be placed in a normal hospital room where you can recover.
Avatar m tn I went in earlier on the day of the surgery as emergency because of extreme pain and during surgery my doctor found that I was experiencing ovarian torsion and was able to save a small part of my ovary which was wonderful news! The cyst was benign and after 3 nights in the hospital I am home and resting. It does hurt very much to walk and today is the fifth day, I am hoping that the pain subsides as time passes. Thank you again!
Avatar f tn After my hysterectomy, I found that it was the fatigue that got me first. You will notice that the time in between will get longer but it does take some time. Don't go off of the standard 4-6 weeks, either. If you are tired, you're tired. I pushed myself a little at a time and found as the weeks went on I could do more and more. Not sure what you've had done but if you've had a hysterectomy an excellent site is hystersisters ******* for recovery tips.
566073 tn?1219434819 I found the first surgery to be more taxing on my energy and harder to recover from, but I knew what to expect from the first surgery so I think that helped. I knew to make sure and walk as soon as I could in the hospital, and to take the pain medicine they offered it does help healing better. Everyone is different though, but I found the hysterectomy a breeze compared to first surgery. I'm sorry for your diagnosis. Take care.
Avatar f tn I am a hysterectomy in less than 2 weeks I'm a bit nervous they said I can't cook cleaner Drive a while you're taking a cervix uterous tubes out I'm going to try to keep one or both ovaries my question to you ladies hats had one before how was your recovery time and your pain and is there anything that I need to know or to take to the hospital with
Avatar n tn insurance companies are entitled to have the full report of operations from the hospital in order for hospital, operation room, recovery room, hospital staff, and misc others to be paid....
Avatar f tn Along the lines here my son had a burst appendix, so they had to do a large incision that was left open and had to be packed. This just happened back in September, he was in the hospital for three days, the day he was being discharged the doctor said he could drive, go do whatever he wanted as long as it didn't involve lifting. I couldn't believe it. He of course didn't feel like doing anything for some time, but I couldn't believe the doctor told him he could drive right away.
Avatar f tn I am 27, and am having a bilateral ovary removal and radical hysterectomy in a few weeks. (Due to various problems but mainly huge production of testosterone.Possible tumor unseen by testing) Anyway, I would like to know all of the ins and outs of post op recovery and etc. I am already on estrogen since I don't produce much. I recently (8-12 weeks ago) had my appendix removed laproscopically (sp?) will the pain be like that pain??? I am a stay at home mom to a HYPER!! ADHD 4 year old son.
404304 tn?1201709677 s been four weeks and though recovery is slow, all appears to be going well. In my part of the world, people would take themselves to the emergency dpt of a hospital and get them to take a look if the doc/ surgeon is not serious enough to be doing it themselves. Don't take this lightly. Get it looked at and soon.
Avatar m tn Pallyfan, I'm not a doctor but I'm a father who has been down your Dad's path. Since I was essentially in a blackout for 20 days what I know about my behavior before and after open heart surgery is second hand, but what I've been told bears resemblence to what you've observed. I was 54 then, fairly mild mannered but I behaved bizarrely and aggressively - throwing hospital trays, trying to call a cab to escape. Calling nurses ******.
550018 tn?1264190965 I was up and walking the next day, I was in the hospital for about 10 days. What I didnt realize is that the pain meds is by your side in this pump that you push that was new to me. Oh, and I didnt have to wear this gridle looking thing on to walk around lol. But like you, I was deathly afraid of the pain but things have changed so much since I had my first abdominal surgery. Good Luck and do take it easy even though you feel good.
1105450 tn?1375683721 Oh my goodness, you poor sweet woman! Ectopic doesn't necessarily mean in the tube; it actually just means wherever the embryo implanted that wasn't in the uterus (for example a cervical ectopic is an embryo implanted in the cervix). Okay so all that technical crud aside. I just want to say how very sorry I am about this! I am glad they were sensitive to your recovery to put you in a section where you wouldn't hear babies; seriously that was just really a great judgment call.
1809377 tn?1316520328 Your recovery time will be about 6 weeks. Even though you may feel great way before then it's important to listen to your Dr and take that 6 weeks to rest because your body is healing. No taking stairs, heavy lifting or sex during that time. It's hard to say how long you will be in the hospital. Maybe 2 to 3 days. Make a list of all questions you have and take them to your Dr to answer. We're here to help and support you any way we can.
Avatar m tn I am so fed up with insurance companies they just make me sick thinking that they know best. I had a total abdominal hysterectomy (Uterus, tubes, ovaries) on June 28. At the same time they removed a 20lb 30 cm ovarian cyst that had adhesions attached to intestines and right kidney. On June 29 I received a call in the hospital from my std insurance company...needless to say I wasn't in form to return the call immediately. On June 30 they wanted to discharge me from the hospital.
Avatar n tn It takes several weeks for your body to heal after a hysterectomy so it's best to follow the Drs orders. Take things slow and get plenty of rest.
782368 tn?1244854467 I just wanted to say that I had a complete hysterectomy in June 2006. Removal of uterus, tubes, ovaries. I never had ONE ounce of pain in the hospital or when I came home. Once I got home I did not take one pain pill ! You will have to rest and take it easy for sure. But just didn't want you to freak out thinking you were going to have severe pain because it's not always the case. Good Luck !
Avatar f tn So has anyone had this done with the bladder tac, how long in the hospital, recovery, I dont want to be out of work more than 3 weeks. How is the pain?
Avatar n tn Last time she went to see the doctor ( this Onc works closely with the best Gynecologist in that hospital) the doctor was qiuite happy about her attitude towards her situation. The other docs, top surgeons themselves, in that hospital who are all believers also said Mom's attitude - they actually mean faith - is helping her more than anything else. BIG THANKS.
285896 tn?1237211227 My vote is for the total hysterectomy. If you KNOW in your heart that you are 100% done having children, go for it. You won't be miserable anymore! And why pay for multiple surgeries if you end up having to do it in the future? Plus all the recovery time of multiple surgeries. This is coming from a woman who usually does not tell women to do this. But I really feel like it's going to be okay for you!
