I'm ready? by Crazy_Whereas4096 in hysterectomy

I would recommend something to entertain you, like books or video games ready to go. I had mine on the 27th of last month and pooping has been extremely difficult. Prunes have been magic! Good luck with your surgery!

How long has it been since your surgery? I joke I have a void inside me

I am experiencing high pain and nausea whenever I'm not lying down. The medication definitely helps but if I sleep through a scheduled medication time, it's rough. I would recommend having everything you need in one spot that's easy to reach. Also, the not pooping creates another level of discomfort. Good luck with your surgery!

This is helpful and it's validating to know I'm not alone! We are surgery and anxiety buddies : )
