Has anyone here gotten a hysterectomy? I’m getting one on Monday and I’m extremely nervous. Idk what I’ll need for recover, or how it will go. I have to stay in the hospital from Monday morning to Wednesday evening. I’m gonna miss my kids so much. What should I expect? Anything to make recovery easier? I’m lost.
I only stayed overnight. Get the prescribed meds before you go home. No lifting until they say so. Do not disregard this. Just follow orders.
Stay on top of your meds for the first few days. Take them as directed. Take gas-x as well. The surgeon will fill you with air during your surgery. You will not be allowed to lift anything. My weight restriction was nothing heavier than a gallon of milk. Also, no pulling/pushing motions, like mopping. Follow these orders to the T.
