Hello everyone. I have my pre op for the 30th april 2018 for my hysterectomy. Im all over the place can anyone help me and tell me what kind of things to expect plz xx
Hi Nicola
What would you like to know. I had my tvh and anterior repair in swansea.x
I have no idea where to start from i got told they r finally doing it after 9 years of fighting . My emptions are completely away before i even go for my op. I have no clue wat kind of questions i should ask them r how long my pre op will be. 😓😓🙈🙈
Oh dear 9 years is a he'll of a time.
I didn't have any issue as I had a 're repair then when I had an examination before op he told me my uterus was 2 cm from entrance so it was a no brainer to have it out.
At your pre op they will weigh,blood pressure,blood test and also check lungs etc,also a mrsa swap. They will go over the surgery with you and tell you what type you will have. Do you already know? I had a vaginal and to be honest it was very straightforward and much better than ithought..hardly any pain just like cramping for a few days.
I'm a worrier and I would do it again😰😰😰. You will be fine hun,make sure you right down your questions.x
They said hopefully is going to b vagina but because im epileptic there is a good chance it will be the ordinary one . Yeah i have been bleeding 25 days out of 30 for last 9 years tjey have tried everything from pain relief injections trying to force my body into menopause and finally a womb adlation nothing worked, so finally after fighting for so long they r finally doing it xx
Okay I understand now. Just make sure you hAve your questions written down. The pre op is only about an hr but may be longer waiting for bloodtest.
I'm sure it will all go smoothly so don't worry.
I can't comment on abdominal hyster only vaginal but from what I've heard you will have more p a in because of scar across tummy.. I can't take pain killers so only had paracetamol afterwards but only for 2 days. Keep us updated won't you.x
I will thank you so much pet u have eased my mind a little ☺ xx
Hi Nicola, I am going in tomorrow for a total hysterectomy after months of very heavy bleeding and feeling exhausted. I had my pre op couple weeks ago and took about hour. They take bloods and swab you for MRSA, urine test and put you on a heart monitor just to get your readings. Asked lots of questions and that's it really, nothing too bad at all. I am feeling quiet nervous but also can't wait now for it to all stop,well the horrendous bleeding and to finally and hopefully get my life back. It's so nice to hear off "welshgirl" that all went well as you can read some scary stories. All in all I can't wait now!!! I will keep you posted on my experience and good luck you will be fine. Xx
Hi Sharon,
I have my pre op in a couple of weeks! I have a huge (15cm) fibroid to remove so they are doing a hysterectomy. I have been very fortunate as have had no bleeding (I have the coil fitted for 10 years now) so unlike you Im absolutely fine in my self. I am very nervous of the recovery, I am a useless patient. Please keep us informed as to how you are getting on. Im sure you will be fine but would be interesting to hear from you from time to time if you get the chance. I am worried about hitting the menopause as didn't realise it was straight away! But I'm sure I can just take HRT to help.
Good luck tomorrow xx
Hey sharon i sympathise with the bleeding part. I have had heavy and continual bleeding 25 days out of 30 for past nine years. The hysterectomy is final resort as they have done everything else n put me through hell before getting to this point. Good luck tomorrow pet and keep us posted big hugs thinking of u xx
Hey jacqui my pre op is on the 30th im very weary of it and actual op im glad its happening but at same time very emotional. Im sure ur recovery will be fine alonside ur op. Keep me posted plz and chat to me anytime xx😘
It was so straightforward for me hun. The waiting is the worst part honestly.
I can only speak about vaginal buster but lengths same op just you will have more tenderness due to tummy scar. I found arnica tablets really good for swelling and pain, from health shop. Please keep in touch .xx
So sorry about the spell check. My tablet got updated and the words are all weird so sorry lo!. Buster meant hyster 😂😂😂
Ur ok pet i hate the waiting. Im taking my mind off it atm by playing my accordion... dont know wats worse the waiting for op r me playing the accordion lol xx
That sounds wonderful.You will be absolutely finexx
Hi Nicola.
Did your doctor explain to you what type of procedure you’re having.
Are you having a partial or full hysterectomy? Would you share your age and what symptoms you were having prior to your decision to have your hysterectomy?
I’m looking forward to hearing from you))
As few post up tell you hun lol
Hi, Im 48 this year the only symptoms I have are that I have a very swollen tummy and after tests its a 15cm fibroid that cannot be removed key hole so they have suggested I have a hysterectomy. In the phone call I said yes to surgery so have had no meeting with the consultant to discuss this as was told at the time it would quicken my appointment for an operation. So assume they will tell me everything in my pre op appointment. I have had no bleeding just discomfort.
Hey hot tempered 10.
I am.38 years old , i have been severe bleeds every 28 days outta 30 for last 9 years. They have tried to stop the bleeding with marina coil didnt work still bled, nemerous injections and tablets to force my body into menopause i still bled then finally they gave me a womb abliation and took coil out and that never worked still bled. So after 9 years of fighting they r finally agreeing to doing a vaginal hyster, but because im epileptic they have got me to sign the consent form as there is a high possiblity of having to have the full hysterectomy and having to open me up instead xx
Thank you Jacqui, I will keep you posted and hopefully share my positive story. I’m feeling ok just a little nervous tonight but can’t wait for it all to stop. I’ll be in touch and hopefully speak to you soon xx
