I’m surprised to see that you only have one incision. Every video I’ve seen and the research I’ve done shows 3-5 small incisions across the abdomen for each tool separately. My surgery is on 11/10 and don’t know how many incisions I’ll have but I would love for it to me like yours! I’m glad you’re doing well!!

Yes, just one incision through the belly button. No scars at all. I think it’s called a “key hole” incision. I’m not trying to boast, but my doctor was the top OBGYN surgeon in that part of the country. People would travel from states all over to have him do their surgeries. I just so happened to live in that city. But he is seriously amazing and I am so grateful to have had that type of incision and such a wonderful surgery and recovery. But regardless of your type of surgery or the surgeon, I am very confident that your quality of life will improve. The only bad experiences I have ever heard of are the occasional “horror stories” on the internet. Every woman I have known or talked to personally (literally dozens) that have had a partial or total hysterectomy have been very pleased with their lives and health after the surgery. I wish you all the best, and I am here if you have any questions or need any reassurance. You’ve got this!

I just had the same surgery 4 weeks ago however mine was with multiple incisions. The gas pain wasn’t too bad for me but has been in previous surgeries. It’s not gas bubbles in your shoulder you are feeling but it’s the CO2 which can settle under the diaphragm, the muscle that helps you breathe. You might experience this as irritation in the lower chest and even all the way up to the shoulder and neck areas. The best method to reduce it is walking and gas pills.

@@callieyoutube I’m doing a lot better. Still get tired easy. I’ve gained some weight as well but not too much. It’s definitely taking me longer to heal than I thought it would. I get menstrual like cramps at times especially after I go for a long walk. My doc told me it takes each person sometimes months to heal. I am trying to be patient. I also have swelly belly but I’m used to that because I had that prior to the surgery but it was due to fibroids. One good thing is that I don’t have lower back pain anymore. I’m 9 weeks post op now. I just stated estrogen patch for the second time. My eyes were swollen and itchy so I stopped taking it and attibuted it to the patch. My doc said to try again because its extremely rare to be allergic to it. Well I stated yesterday and my eyes are doing it yet again. So I don’t know if I can continue on them which is unfortunate because overall it’s made me feel a bit more calm. I just want the hot flashes to go away that I get at night.

Sitting up and 16hr heat patches work great for the shoulder pain. It only lasts about 2 days if you don't lie down 😃

I had 3 incisions on my tummy and one in my belly button during mine. I wish I knew there could have been only one but I guess there are 2 different types. You learn something new every day 😊 For your tiredness, you could always try B-12 gummies. They were my go to however they can make it hard to rest and easy to over due yourself. Your doing great!!! So happy to see your recovery going smoothly 💓

Yes, there are different types of surgery. And some doctors are only specialized in one or two types. I just lucked out that the doctor I normally went to happened to be specialized in the 1-incision robotic surgery that many doctors aren’t specialized in yet. It is so funny you mentioned the B12 because I was taking it at the time, but I have since increased the dosage and it really does help. I’m glad it works for you too! I wish I had started taking it many years ago! 💕💕

How is the thyroid related to the uterus? Hope your feeling better nowadays

I’m not totally sure. Some people say that the ovaries and estrogen are tied in with the thyroid. I have heard of women who have had their ovaries removed (or just went into menopause naturally) and then had troubles with their thyroid.

Did they remove both of your ovaries? Why did you need this surgery? How is HRT? Are you on the patch hrt?

Yes, both ovaries. I take oral estradiol. I have to take it every day. The patch or implant are easier in that way (to not have to remember every day), but I feel so good on the pill. I take .25 mg in the morning and .25 mg at night and it keeps me feeling good and free from surgical menopause symptoms 😀
