... Shellsfaith, I'm sorry to hear you had to have surgery. I had laparoscopically assisted vaginal hyst (LAVH) 6/18. I started walking (outside the house) on about 5 days post-op, but that was a really short trip. I went out to lunch (my first venture from home) 10 days post-op, but was tired when I got home. I can now go out for several hours at a time, but rest when I get... (5 replies)
... My wife had this surgery in July of 2006. Other than a couple weeks post-op of her system recovering from the surgery she's experienced no problems whatsoever, including no menopausal symptoms. She's a firm believer in the procedure and she's referred a number of ladies to her doctor's practice. Luckily many of them have been good candidates and have undergone LSH with... (1 replies)

... I had a Laparoscopic Supracervical Hysterectomy on May 8, 2009 (they also took my ovaries and tubes) and tomorrow is my two week mark for recovery. I have outrageous pain with gas or bowel movement when it passes by the area where my uterus used to reside. Is this normal?

... I had an LAVH the 2nd week of my summer vaction so I had 7 more weeks until I "had" to return (I had some meetings I had to attend starting at week 5 post op).

... My wife could have easily taken care of herself within 24 hours of the procedure. Now I'm not saying she could have driven or cleaned the house but she easily could have fixed a light lunch or dinner. She showered Wednesday morning, about 1 1/2 days post-op, and while I stayed near by in case she needed me, she had no problems. I think the big thing was that she was never... (3 replies)

Had her LSH in the morning and was home by 6 PM the same day. Spent the next two days pretty much in bed on Darvocet (only needed one of the two pills she was allowed to take at a time) and then regular Tylenol for the next three to four... (3 replies)
... Hello All-
I am 14 hours post-op now and the prep was a breeze! I got myself worked up for nothing.
When I woke up though, I was very confused. I couldn't figure out why it felt like I had been stabbed in the pelvic area many times over. As it turned out, the morphine they gave me didn't have an effect on me. They swithced me over to 2 Percocet and with 30 minutes I... (5 replies)
