Hannah's Hysterectomy

I finally got my surgery! It's been painful, but besides that I actually feel 5 times better than I did before :) Big thanks to Dr. Whiteside at Greater Carolinas Women's Center for squeezing me in and doing a fantastic job. Hopefully I'll be back up to speed in no time!

How old were you when you got the surgery?

[sarkasm]

@MissVillainess I was 30 when I got the surgery. The general sense I've gotten from talking to other women is that this type of surgery is much more difficult for women who are over 50. For me, it was not as terrible as I was expecting :) I'm glad to have had it done when I was young for sure.

you are very beautiful. glad all went well. my wife has to have this done as soon as possible. i was searching around wondering what to expect.

[sarkasm]

@TheRich227 Aw thank you :) I hope everything goes well with your wife! She obviously has a partner that cares about her so that will greatly help to have good support. Good luck to you both!

OMG, TY for showing your video,

I will make darn sure, I have proper pain meds.

I am not able to tolerate pain.

You know what? I am not looking forward to this operation at all. , 55, pre- cancerous polyps.

Backing out is not an option.

At least now, I have an idea of what to expect.

PS- have an elderly parent at home with me, Feels so god to vent a bit.

PPS- Love your hair, and you, Your home is very, very, nice also. Cute cat !

@Minimouser1 Thanks :D

I'm sorry to hear about your surgery! It sounds like you definitely have a lot going on. I hope everything goes well for you, and good luck!

@hunt458 Yeah, I'm sure my husband totally hates how I'm not sick anymore, never have my period, and don't have a swollen abdomen from the giant fibroid.

Before you troll, you should at least have a sliver of knowledge of what you're talking about. A man's penis never comes in contact with a uterus, therefore it will never miss it when it's gone. I still have a vagina. It is exactly the same it's always been and wasn't involved in the surgery in any way. You dumb dickhole.

@sarkasm She had it done almost 6 weeks ago. this is the 6th week. they couldn't use the robot because it was too big so they had to do surgery. but, everything went well and she's ready to go back to work. by the way it was the size of a canalope.

@Minimouser1 Thankyou sarkasm,

Waiting is the hard part,

I'll be fine, Mom will too.

Hope you feel better !

Oh June 2010 all healed up right?

Methinks someone forgot to order you a diet :P

@sarkasm Well, I threw a hissy fit and the supervisor of the Risk Mangement department called, whatever the hell that is. I told him off, he agreed. I also told him I'm going to be writing a letter, since I consider them responsible for what happened. You know how hospitals are. They don't want to take any responsibility. In post op, this dipshit dropped my IV line, picked it up off the floor. I go, "Dude, don't even think about using that again." Geeze. I gotta wait 3 months for healing. :(
