Nobody told me about holding a pillow before sneezing or coughing. I remember that it was the middle of summer and I didn't have much sneezing or coughing. My throat did hurt for a bit however, but that was most likely due to anesthesia. I slept on my side a lot, because I naturally roll onto my side whenever I sleep, and I didn't take an effort to sleep on my back. But I don't recall any additional pain issues besides the gas. Oxy did nothing to releave my pain so I don't think I took many of them. I suggest that you still go easy on the exercise, even on days when you feel okay. And you already know about not having sex; although it seems like your recovery will be faster than mine, but you're younger and healthier than I was when I got surgery.
Me too they told me to get a hysterectomy and I do not want to be opened or cut on so I’m going to ask well tell them I want it this way. It’s been a year since you commented did you get this?
I wonder if your throat is sore bc you were intubated (had a tube down your throat so the surgeon can control your breathing)? Great video. Feel better soon. Btw heating pads and ice packs help for comfort. Drinking lots of water helps too. My qualification: I’m an RN:)
What is the name of the doctor that removed your uterus ? I am 18 with very bad menstrual pain also & every doctor I’ve seen denied me & didn’t care about the way I felt & my well being .
The surgeon who performed my hysterectomy is called Dr. Betty Kung. She is fantastic. However she does work for Kaiser in California, USA. From what I understand, Kaiser doctors and surgeons only take patients who have Kaiser health insurance. So you'd have to live in California and be on Kaiser health insurance to see her. I'm sure there will be other surgeons who will listen to you, it might just be a journey to find one!
I did throw up on the third day. I'm not sure if it was because of the meds, or because my body just went through this traumatic experience. Or maybe I just had some bad chili :/ The first two days I had no nausea, and for the whole process I only vomited that one time.
thank you for making this video. i may have to get a hysterectomy soon and i'm really anxious about it.

Say Pineapple if you need to sneeze. It works most of the time.
I have precancerous cell and thinking about doing this. Thanks for sharing this VDO.

Yeah the first month is rough. I'm one year out and everything is fantastic now in regards to my hysto. You'll get there soon too!
Did you have any nausea or vomiting after surgery or from the meds?

Thank you so much for answering that’s my biggest fear is being drugged and nauseous after surgery
