Surgery over

I had a total hysterectomy and ovaries removed yesterday and have to say that, apart from a little wooziness, I feel much better than I thought I would! My pain has been controlled and I have 4 incisions, and have been up and walking to the toilet and back! I know I'm not going to feel this good every day, but so far so good!

Gremlin16 - I had keyhole surgery. I've got 4 small incisions and as far as I know everything was removed vaginally. After a good day yesterday today has been harder, but I'm home now and in my own bed which is a good thing!

The recovery with laparoscopy is generally better with a better recovery time.

Having a vertical incision hysterectomy Wednesday they cut up and around my belly button.

Feeling positive that I cannot feel any worse with pain than I do at the moment.

So glad we have each other on this site has really helped me.

Good luck with your recovery x
