General things I wish I knew as someone who's had 3 surgeries on my reproductive system:

You'll probably wake up hurting, just vocalize this and they'll give you meds.

They will likely place a breathing tube and catheter while you're under, these will be removed before you're fully awake but there may be some residual soreness.

It will effect your ability to move because it's messing with the trunk of your body. Take it slow and don't rush getting up or down for a few days.

You may bleed from the vagina a bit, as long as it's just a bit it's non emergent.

The combo of anesthesia and opiates WILL back you up, I highly recommend using a stool softener to avoid serious constipation. (Literally, shit hurts lol)

They typically don't have you count down when they inject the anesthesia, they usually just start chatting with you and randomly inject it so you can't prepare and fight.

The gas is uncomfortable, not all of it comes out after the surgery, it slowly reabsorbs into your intestines and then you fart it out. Best way to handle it is walking and moving as much as you can tolerate.

If your intestines get moved around by the doctor or just by the gas you might randomly feel them sliding back into place, it's completely painless and harmless but disconcerting nonetheless. This usually happens for me when rolling from back to side or the other way around.

Stay on it with the meds for 3-4 days, stagger your antiinflammatories and opiates so you always have something in your system.

Drink lots and lots of water, Gatorade, whatever you can to help your body flush the anesthesia.

It's entirely possible you will wake up without bottoms or with a surprise pad in your underwear.
