Oops I know we are not supposed to mention dr's by name on here so I hope you get this response.

Are you in the Guildford area? I had a laparoscopic hysterectomy and bowel resection last year by Andrew Kent and I can't praise him enough he is a truly amazing surgeon and took a lot of precaution with me and I felt 100% safe with him and I feel fantastic 9 months on. My recovery from laparoscopic surgery was good which had been a concern of mine-I had put off surgery for years thinking I'd need abdominal surgery. I was back at work after 4 weeks

Thanks so much as all his reviews are old ones I wanted a newer one , thanks I am going to him from London staying there for 2days hope I will be able to say the same also

Have you heard of anaesthesist G dhound ?

[Tracey29 in reply to beauty14]

I'm sure you will feel confident in him, he is great. No not heard of that anaesthetist and can't remember the name of the man I had but he too was very good. I had a spinal block prior to the general anaesthetic to help with pain relief after. Not sure how good that was as was in huge pain in recovery and had full use of legs, but they quickly relieved the pain. Not sure how long spirals last my I was in surgery a very long time

Hope this helps please feel free to ask more if needed. Good luck

Hi yes I had my TAH 12 days post op now I am really glad I had it done I couldn't have the key hole done because of my pelvic floor the doc said I haven't had any vaginal delivery done before only c/s 4 times so he doesn't want to weaken it so it's best total abdominal I will say it's the best thing I have ever done the pain management was fabulous also , I am free indeed my only concern is my belly is like a 6 mths pregnancy and the wind is horrible always trapped the only thing that helps is glycerol suppositories
