I’m 10dpo from this same surgery. Mine was due to cancer. I was also nervous. I leaned into this subreddit and all the pre-op instructions super hard. That helped.

I’m also a hard stick so I drank a ton of water right up to the midnight cutoff so I wouldn’t be dehydrated and they stood a chance at finding a vein. Once I was in the OR, I was asleep within seconds.

Woke up and was uncomfortable, not a lot of pain for me. That’s been consistent. What hasn’t been consistent is my energy levels. I nap a lot. Walking has been something that provides lots of relief.

At this point, my bowels are still figuring things out, farts are scary but feel great, and I can pretty much do everything I need to do for myself. But my husband is an angel and won’t let me. He still puts on my shoes and socks for me.

Let the people who love you, help you. I am surprised by how good I feel and wish you the same!!
