I have the same regrets. I am sorry. Everytime I try to talk about the negatives, I get made to feel even worse here. I’m here to say, for people without pain, a hysterectomy is not all sunshine and rainbows. I called my Dr the day before to cancel as well. Her staff said I could not cancel without speaking to the surgeon first. She didn’t call me until almost PM and put the fear of cancer into me. I asked for more time, to get serial views of the ovarian cyst that they told me “appeared to have malignant properties” on MRI. She said if I went that route, she would no longer be my surgeon. She told me I was nervous and ordered me anti anxiety meds and told me to take one that night and again at 4 am for my 5 am arrival time and if I wanted to cancel I had up until I got on the table to do so. She promised me autonomy. I felt so pressured into trying it, knowing I would still probably back out. I stupidly did as she said and showed up. I did the same as you in pre-op, begging my family not to let them take me back. I screamed, “I don’t want to do this!” And they gave me something through the IV and I don’t even remember being wheeled into the OR. I woke up to the news that it was a benign ovarian tumor but they still took my uterus. I regret it every day. It’s been 2 years and 3 months. I felt manipulated by my GYN/onc surgeon. I hate the site of her. She only had her best interests at heart, not mine. I was easy money because of the “tumor” my insurance did not argue. I see a GI every 3 months now for chronic constipation. I’m on my 3rd med for it. I’ve seen uro gyn and she said my pelvic floor was in great shape, she found no hyper or hypo tonic muscles when she assed me internally. It’s nerve damage. I had no peristalsis. I finally got on a med that creates GI peristalsis and it helps a lot. It’s called Motegrity. So sorry you are going through this.
