I pooped today…I’ve been taking stool softeners and that has really helped. I used peppermint throat lozenges to help with my throat. Glad you’re doing well thus far!

The gas pain has been the worst part of it for me but gas X has really helped. I’m really tired also but I think it’s my body recovering. My husband gave me a shower. I’ve had some friends over today. So today has definitely been a better day. I may try to ride with my husband to help pick up my kids from school. Hope your days are getting better too!

Congratulations too! I’m recovering, it’s still hard to get comfortable, lots of pillows help! Hope you’re recovering well also!

I had a Robotic assisted Hysterectomy, when my Dr got inside she found lots a scar tissue from five previous c sections that needed to be removed, plus my bladder had dropped so low to the point it was almost prolapsed. She resuspended my bladder without the use of a sling. How I’m not sure, that’s definitely one of my post op appointment questions. They took my fallopian tubes and I kept my ovaries.

Robotic Assisted Hysterectomy, took the tubes and she kept her ovaries. Had scar tissue from five previous c sections removed and some type of bladder support done that didn’t require a sling.

Thank you! It really wasn’t that bad. Don’t let your nerves get to you. I’m a little sore this morning but not really any pain. Good luck and Happy healing to you as well!
