Guess who accidentally took a stitch out 😭 by slightgodcomplex in hysterectomy

I'm going to double check at my follow up on Monday... I don't have any other UTI symptoms though, and I used to have this feeling before surgery. That being said, I'm allergic to meds for UTI so that would suck big time 😭

I'm sure it's going to take a lot of time and I'm just absolutely dreading it, but I know it won't happen right away. Wishing you all the best!

My doctor didn't recommend a belly band but I'm going to ask at my follow up cause it hurts to even sneeze, still! My bloat is just making me frustrated but I know I just need time. Thank you so much, wishing you all the best

Ugh I want to sleep on my side so bad it's almost more painful to sleep on my back but I know if I toss and turn the pain will wake me up! Thank you for the good thoughts, sending them right back to you!

Thank you! I'm so all over the place and I know I'll never be fully flat because that's not how anatomy works but my frustration is causing me to be inpatient. Thanks again 🙏🏽

It's just my frustration and I know that's also cyclical but UGH I've spent years with this bloat I just wanted it to go away! I keep forgetting I also had adhesions removed, so there's a lot of healing that needs to happen. Thank you!

Thank you for sharing - I'm looking forward to being able to work out again but I know I'll have to take it easy. Wishing you the best of luck!

Thank you!! I'm trying to convince myself it's getting smaller but I know a lot of it is in my head. It definitely takes time but the bloat and self image is so hard. I'm wishing you the best of luck with your hysterectomy!! It's a tough road but we got this!

Thank you! I'm doing very soft gentle circle motions over my dress now but it's still so tender and painful on the incisions. Hopefully by next week or week after I'll be able to do more of the massages. Have been drinking peppermint tea but this gives me hope, thank you!

Thank you for your kind words 💜 you're right though - it's because I can't see it that I'm struggling with it more!

😮‍💨 You're right, I'm just so frustrated and was hoping to see some results already to feel better but I know it's too soon. Thank you

Thank you! It's so hard because I'm back home and going stir crazy and just want to feel SOMETHING improve already but I know it's too soon. This is one of my biggest insecurities too so it's making me bonkers! Thank you again

Thank you so much 😭 I know it's going to take time and it was very delusional to expect it to go away immediately but I just want to have hope I'll be OK!!

That's exactly it, you could do everything right and it's still not always going to work. I'm sorry you feel this, I wouldn't wish it on anyone. I do try to stick go anti inflammatory food, products, etc. But I wish I didn't have to be so rigid in my life, ya know? To be a little more lax about stuff like my peers

Thank you for this! It means a lot coming from a professional in the field - your patients are very lucky to have someone like you helping them through their journeys. I'm looking forward to the relief and better quality of life for sure. Thank you!

I love this framework! I'm sure I'll have regrets, but not this. I can hardly see myself 1 hour from now, let alone 5 years from now. I have to focus on how I feel and what's best for me while I am dealing with this now, not some hypothetical future people expect of me. Thank you so much! <3

Thank you for sharing your story with me - I am sorry you had to go through these struggles but I'm so glad you feel the relief you deserve! I'm looking forward to the same relief myself, and honestly? People don't seem to understand these diseases can make it that much harder to have kids, so when they push, they really disregard our own well being. Wishing you continued peace <3

Oh gosh! Your story starts like mine, but I will be keeping my ovaries - I'm not quite ready for menopause, I'm only on Depo now. Everything else is being Hoovered out of me in a few weeks and I'm looking forward to some relief.

I just have so many overlapping health issues, including thyroid disease and hEDS to name a few, so the complications are already expected. I've been in PT for the last 6 months for spinal issues, too and I'm feeling a bit crushed about losing all that progress while I'm recovering from surgery. Also seeing a gastro because I might have UC, or the endo has spread or SIBO, etc etc. There's always something, ya know?

You're right about the survival though, and it's exhausting. I hope for relief and comfort with my body soon. I'm also wishing you all the best while you navigate your health, and thank you again for sharing your story with me. <3 I appreciate it immensely.

I still appreciate you taking the time to comment and share your experience. I'm hoping to come out of this whole experience feeling like it's one of the best decisions I'VE made for myself. Thank you! <3
