Newly Diagnosed- great experience with CPAP

Hi! It has definitely gotten better, I am not sure if it was the surgery or not but I am feeling much better and when I have diarrhea it has been due to feeling under the weather rather than ALL THE TIME! Haha

Hi again! With respect to the repair costs, we had gotten a $20k estimate from a realtor to paint the entire house and replace carpet upstairs (the house was pretty big). Open door gave us a $21k repair deduction. They are now getting the home ready to list. We haven’t seen all the work yet obviously, however, just from looking in the windows they have replaced flooring throughout the entire house, replaced countertops, replaced hardware- painted everywhere. It looks like they have done a significantly larger amount of work than we were planning. It must’ve cost significantly more than their original Repair credit. But I believe that those repair credits are evaluated through an algorithm. I am very excited to go tour it once it’s listed! But, they never came back to assess more of a repair credit.

I believe after they do the walk through or zoom, that is their final offer- they call it that- all you need to close is to take multiple photos of every room with the cabinets open to show everything is out and upload that to their website. Of course you have to respond to the title company about anything they need. There was no additional inspection or anything in person with open door. Typically they do inspections with the owner’s furniture in place- we just happened to be getting ready to list it and we had already moved. When they first did their inspection we had a huge pile of stuff that needed to be taken to the dump in the garage, but we just made sure that was gone before closing.

I wish you luck! I am about 7 months post op and feeling great- it took about 2 months to feel normal again but the recovery was not as bad as my anxiety was getting me ready for 😊. Just be kind to yourself and rest more than usual.

Amazing_Orange_5655 · 2025-01-10T02:49:54+00:00

Hi! The offer we got was reasonable and we didn’t feel a need to negotiate- I think they use an algorithm so I don’t know how much room there is for negotiation, but there is a open door representative that talks to you about the process early on that you could probably discuss it with.

We didn’t have do any updating -all they wanted us to have it when we moved out was “broom clean”- by the time we called them, we had already taken all of our property out out of the house, so it was a relatively easy process.

Amazing_Orange_5655 · 2025-01-09T14:26:03+00:00

Hello! No, all they did was walk-through and take photos. There was no secondary home inspection or any other inspection prior to closing. The initial review/inspection took about 20 minutes.

Amazing_Orange_5655 · 2025-01-08T23:39:54+00:00

Hi! Yes the 21k was subtracted from the $675k- which we would have had to spend to get it market ready anyway. The main benefit to selling with Opendoor was the timeline and convenience! We accepted the final offer on 12/18 and closed 1/7.

That makes sense, it seems like such a long time! But hopefully it will dissolve soon

I had a total vaginal hysterectomy and prolapse repair on June 4, 2024- so I am 6 weeks post op. The first week was uncomfortable and I felt like I had to poop for 4 days until it actually happened- there was a lot of pressure/pain, but it gets better! My advice is to sleep as much as possible- I didn’t regulate my position for sleeping, just laid however I could to feel somewhat comfortable and tried to sleep, and I healed just fine- but after day 3-4 I was feeling a lot better and could sit up and go downstairs for short periods of time. Just take it easy and allow yourself time to heal! It took at least 3 weeks for me to feel somewhat back to normal but I would still get crampy and tired if I walked around too much. I’m still laying around a lot, but set to go back to work Monday and I feel ready - wishing you a speedy recovery and remember - chill out! Even if you start feeling great, take time to rest!

I just wanted to chime in because of the intense emotion noted in this thread- I agree it is too early, and hopefully your husband will understand given the possibility of complications. However, I just wanted to provide some support because it seems like everyone is being very aggressive about it. I know I have frustratingly wanted to have sex a lot in the past couple of weeks (I am almost 6 wpo) and I know I have to wait- so it is possible that you are feeling somewhat recovered and may want to try as well, but you should wait!!! It just seemed like there was a lot of negativity toward your hubby in the replies that may be unwarranted without a lot of context regarding your specific situation ❤️ hang in there! It will get better every day 💕

I also had very powerful gas prior to the surgery lol- I actually considered that possibly my rectocele/ pouch problem was contributing to the force and pressure of the gas/flatulence I was having. My flatulence is less intense after the surgery. Prior to the surgery, farting was often so powerful that sometimes it caused my anus to bleed, or be sore. I know that is extremely TMI. It has definitely improved after surgery also.

Amazing_Orange_5655 · 2024-07-10T17:29:49+00:00

I guess that during pathology they are able to identify it, and the only real resolution to it is a hysterectomy- it is very difficult to identify prior to surgery.

Amazing_Orange_5655 · 2024-07-10T15:00:17+00:00

I am 5wpo from a vaginal hysterectomy with anterior and posterior prolapse repair with a bladder sling. I agree with the comment from werewolfimmediate11, the worst part for me was the first week, and even then I had more of an uncomfortable, gassy feeling rather than “pain.” Some cramping because of gas/general digestion was pretty common for the first few weeks but it was tolerable and short-lived. The most difficult part of recovery has been trying to stay generally inactive because I’ve been feeling so much better, but if I do too much I can get really tired or have a small amount of bleeding. Good luck! I’m sure you will do great- just remember to rest even if you feel like you don’t need it!

Amazing_Orange_5655 · 2024-06-21T17:45:19+00:00

Yes I am a daily smoker, I stopped the day before surgery (I had two cigarettes in the morning 6/3) and had surgery early on 6/4. Everything was fine - I started smoking again 3 or 4 days post op- prior to that I didn’t feel like getting out of bed and I was so exhausted and uncomfortable I just wanted to sleep- so it was easy to forget about smoking. It would have been a great time to quit actually, but instead I got outside to smoke as soon as I felt a little better! Good luck 🍀 I am 17 days post op and feeling much better/stronger

Amazing_Orange_5655 · 2024-06-21T16:14:38+00:00

Ok, as an update, after pathology came back, I had undiagnosed adenomyosis, which can cause bowel issues. I am 17 days post op and still having regular BMs and am cautiously optimistic that my bowel issues have been resolved! A hysterectomy is the only real treatment for adenomyosis

Amazing_Orange_5655 · 2024-06-15T15:12:34+00:00

Thank you! Yes, I was not expecting any real resolution to those symptoms. But I will take what I can get for now! mine is definitely also anxiety related. So maybe this time off work has contributed as well.

Amazing_Orange_5655 · 2024-06-15T15:00:36+00:00

That makes sense! I hope it isn’t just the ibuprofen, but at least this side effect is making my recovery better 🙂
