I had a hysterectomy and endo surgery in March my bowel was fused but I didn’t have any bowel reconstruction, and I would suggest u buy a foam wedge support pillow for ur bed to keep u in a propped up position while u sleep because I couldn’t lay down flat comfortably for the first couple of weeks and sleeping with pillows propped was extremely painful for my neck ( I have neck problems so might not be as bad for u) also buy nightgowns u won’t want to wear any waist band at all I couldn’t, and I don’t know if u have someone to prepare food for u but I would suggest buying things that u can get urself and don’t require any prep because u won’t be able to stand to make food….but I don’t know how it works there but in Canada it was a day surgery and I was sent home that day, if u have a choice I would suggest staying in the hospital
Hi Unicorn111, I cant give u any advice but just wanted to say good luck 😊 I have my surgery booked for 2nd March 🤞 mine sounds like it's going to be the same as urs but I've been told to expect to be in hospital for at least 2 nights 😬 some say to take peppermint to help with the wind, slippers or shoes u can just slip on and big knickers 😂 hope everything goes ok xx
