I'm just excited I'm getting the hysterectomy I wanted instead of just removing the ovary, leaving the post menopausal bleeding in effect.

I have been amazed at the skill and advanced technology in the surgeries I’ve had to have. Be confident they know what they’re doing

Do not rush your recovery! A lot of people gave me this advice before my hysterectomy, and unfortunately I did not always heed it. I was doing great and then overdid things and had a setback. Every friend I have who had the surgery and overdid it had a setback. No heavy lifting, no strenuous stuff. You will get better faster and stay well longer!

Had a total hysterectomy last Thursday and the pathology all came back benign. Hope your results are as good as mine!

Get a panty girdle (do they call it that?) It will hold you in and you'll be able to move around.

I'm a 2x endometrial cancer survivor. The waiting on the pathology is difficult. Hopefully they'll do it all right in the hospital you're in. They did a preliminary evaluation after my hysterectomy, but then sent it out for a more complete pathology report. To get the more complete results took just over 3 wks. Genetic testing results took even longer than that.

Once you get home, please take it easy and follow the drs orders. It's so easy to overdo once you start feeling better -- whether it's recovering from surgery or treatments (the stage I'm at now in the process). I find that I'm constantly reminding myself. That's the part I've found most frustrating.

Again,
