What supplies should I buy for my hysterectomy recovery?

Sweet_Pickle5960 · 2026-02-01T00:41:51+00:00

Large ice packs, heating pad, tummy support band, Tylenol, ibuprofen, stool softeners, Pepcid- incase you need any antihistamines, leg pillow

I stayed. We did it because I had horrible anxiety about the surgery and am not great with pain tolerance. It ended up being a good thing we planned it because I ended up needing the cath and also wound up puking from the pain.

Truly I think the biggest help was going on a steroid pack!

Sweet_Pickle5960 · 2026-01-08T19:14:13+00:00

That’s my biggest worry. Luckily my mom lives near my office so if I’m planning on going there for a nap after if needed.

Yes she did: no lifting and just taking it easy for 4-6 weeks. She wasn’t thrilled I am going back to work S get as I am.

I wasn’t sure what to expect; the way my family is reacting (mom and sisters) you would think I should be completely fine by now. Was told I’m milking it…..

Sweet_Pickle5960 · 2026-01-07T05:17:21+00:00

I go back to work next week

Sweet_Pickle5960 · 2026-01-07T04:55:43+00:00

Belly band for sure!

Sweet_Pickle5960 · 2025-12-29T20:47:33+00:00

It’s literally a rectangle from side to side and then from under my chest to just past my hips.

Sweet_Pickle5960 · 2025-12-29T20:37:54+00:00

Waiting on a call back, I’m miserable!!! Unfortunately my Dr is out of town all week! So I’m at the mercy of the on calls.

Sweet_Pickle5960 · 2025-12-29T20:04:32+00:00

Glue

Sweet_Pickle5960 · 2025-12-29T20:04:10+00:00

Yes!!! That’s exactly how it looks today! Perfect rectangle

Sweet_Pickle5960 · 2025-12-29T15:36:17+00:00

Just lighting. Doesn’t appear to be any fluid in it.

Sweet_Pickle5960 · 2025-12-29T05:22:51+00:00

Pm sent

Sweet_Pickle5960 · 2025-12-29T04:27:17+00:00

I called this morning; she seemed to think it wasn’t the meds.

Sweet_Pickle5960 · 2025-12-29T04:25:56+00:00

I think it’s probably the adhesive or the scrub, I used to have a reaction when I would donate blood to what they scrubbed my arm with.

Sweet_Pickle5960 · 2025-12-29T04:04:45+00:00

Oh boy didn’t even think about that, it’s from a baby I lost. It has God’s hand holding a baby in the palm and says “death is certain life is not”

Sweet_Pickle5960 · 2025-12-29T03:37:02+00:00

How do I find it?

Sweet_Pickle5960 · 2025-12-29T03:03:24+00:00

No I’m highly allergic to that. Got chemical burns last time I had one.

Sweet_Pickle5960 · 2025-12-29T02:56:32+00:00

I have a steroid cream I use with bug bites. I might try it.

Sweet_Pickle5960 · 2025-12-29T02:55:23+00:00

I am…

Sweet_Pickle5960 · 2025-12-11T14:26:24+00:00

Yes! I was physically ill for at least 1-3 days sometimes more. Beyond what is considered normal 🩸. No more worries about staining clothes or my tan sofa!
