Prayers and thoughts to you my lovely lady hope you are feeling better and your looking really amazing 😉 love you and your beautiful and amazing family love your family friend John from Australia ❤️❤️❤️🥰🥰🥰
I'm so glad u are feeling better and did this great info video for ppl who may have to have this procedure I love watching all your videos you have a great spirit and such positive energy
I'm facing a hysterectomy and extremely nervous waiting on a surgery date. I just want to say thank you so much 😢 for sharing your faith filled journey. I'm so grateful for your testimony. This is nerve wrecking to think about but knowing many more before me made it through God will see me through too.😊
@@aprilmcfadden8502 Had my surgery Nov 9 it wasn't nearly as bad as I thought. Stay hydrated get some colace and a tilt recliner. I'm still in recovery and it gets better everyday. I stopped taking pain meds 2 days after I came home. I'm over weight as well so I was scared about my stomach over lapping the incision but use gauze and clean incision with half water half peroxide and you will heal quicker on the outside. I'm so blessed and highly favored I'm grateful. Hope this helps 🥰
Two days post-op Vaginal hysterectomy and bladder sling. Catheter removed today and first bm today! Whoop whoop! Taking it one day at a time. Keeping all women going through this with me in my daily thoughts and prayers ❤
My wonderful Oncologist made sure that I had no issues with gas. Apparently, some women have gas up to their shoulders. My doctor said she worked very hard to pump the gas out before I went to Recovery, she was thrilled that I didn't have any issues with it. I found having an electic recliner very helpful to have, my daughter gifted me a used one which I still favour rather than sleeping in a bed, so comfortable and easy to get out of. I also fasted for four days before my surgery as well as before during and after radiation treatment.
Then I had a scare post op. I woke to being told they had to give me Narcan after surgery and I still slept two hours. BLESSED and THANKFUL to be alive!! 🙏🏽🙌🏽 Anesthesiologist gave me too much of something. 😳
This was an awesome video. As someone who has had a hysterectomy myself, I wouldn’t change a thing. Great job!! You look gorgeous, I gotta say. Post op, I looked like I had been dragged backwards through a hedge several times. Again, you did a great job with this boy. God bless you with a fast recovery.
My hysterectomy is next week. I watched your video a few months ago but now that I have a confirmed date this information is a refresher and very helpful.
I had EVERYTHING removed, everything. I was diagnosed with stage 1a Ovarian Cancer. I was cut from my pelvic bone up to almost my sternum. This video is on point in regards to the healing! Be kind to yourself and take it really easy ❤

Yours is the first that sounds like what I’m going through. They are going to remove everything, I too was diagnosed with ovarian cancer. I do not know what stage yet, I did not want to have to get the incision that you had was hoping to get one below, but I’m not sure what they’re going to do yet, I’m very nervous. How are you doing? Five months later?
I had a total laparoscopic hysterectomy June 1, and until now, July 21, I still feel some pain around my navel, and still not gaining back my strength. A little move (trying do do very light house chores) makes me gasp for breath. I had my surgery in New Zealand (cheaper than in the US), applied for medical tourist and was given a 6 monts visa. My husband accompanied me as my escort, had to stay in a hotel for the rest of our stay there (2 nights at the hospital). What’s good with my husband’s being there with me the whole process and I feel blessed because he had to do all the cooking, laundry, etc. and really took good care of me and all my needs. At the hospital the Physio also taught me how to get out and in the bed properly - do not use your stomach muscles - there is also a video on YT; how to go up and down the stairs, the blueball for lung exercises, to take a small walk after eating. She also gave me a pamphlet and she taught me some basic exercises for those who had the procedure (Kegel is a must). We travelled back to our country of residence on June 21. My doctor gave me an anti blood clot med. injections to inject on my tummy every night until the trip and to wear my compression socks to prepare me for the flight.
Im having a hysterectomy on 1/17/24. Dealt with complex endometrial hyperplasia for about 5 years now. Pelvic pain, bleeding, clots. ER visits. Mirena failure (expelled through my cervix) .. had tubes removed etc. finally got approved for hysterectomy after 5 years of this. Im 34. One child and 2 step kids. Im reasy but really nervous!
@@stephanieharris6223 , I am six weeks out. The surgery with the DaVinci Robotic Arm wasn’t an issue. It is the on and off feeling bad. Perhaps due to over exertion.
I'll soon have surgery on May 17th I'm truly scared.ive watched many videos and counting. You have been very helpful been yours I appreciate that. I'm glad you are doing well now plz pray 4 me I also have other health issues so that worries me. God got me.
Such excellent advice! I had a hysterectomy a year & a half ago, & wished I had this video to help me through it. I did a lot of what you suggested, & I kept saying YES YES YES!!!!!!! I'm sending this to a friend who's going in for a hysterectomy soon! Just great advice! Thank you!
Your video has been the best one I've watched. My hysterectomy is tomorrow. They are requesting I stay overnight in the hospital. My hubby has to.come home with our son and I am freaking out.😂
My mom is about to have this procedure done + a tummy tuck so im trying to learn as much as posible about the recovery process, thank you very much for sharing this information!
Yes!!! The dry lips was a problem. I just had my surgery 4 days ago. All your tips were spot on. I’m only seeing this video, but I had everything on had. I wish I started the stool softener before. But have it now and made a big difference. And yes….the Gas X…..grab some…it helps too. Thanks for sharing
Thanks so much for this helpful video. I worked as a medical assistant in OB/GYN for years and I know all about the medical professional side, but not the patient side. My mom had a hyst back in the 80s, but things have changed a lot since then, so it’s kinda hard to relate. I took notes on this video. Most helpful one I’ve seen so far. I go in next Tuesday. Eek! Thanks again. Cheers from Washington state! ❤
Had complete hysterectomy in 2012. Was able to have it done laparoscopically. My biggest “complication” was I blew my IV when asked to sit up after surgery (IV was in my hand so when I pushed on my hand, the vein popped). Spent a night in the hospital and went home the next. Needed very little pain medication after. Took a few weeks to feel back to 100%
I just got the green light from my gynecologist to get scheduled for my hysterectomy. My lovely daughter sent me your video and the information is really awesome 👍
Thank you so much for the tips and words of encouragement. I'm having a full hysterectomy tomorrow, and your video definitely helped me make sure I'm ready mentally, physically, emotionally, and most importantly, spiritually. Continued prayers for a full speedy recovery. ❤❤❤
Hi simply shell. Thank you so much for these videos. I’m wAtching this one and will watch them all soon. I wish I would have discovered these prior. I had a total hysterectomy (kept ovaries though) 2 weeks ago. Still recovering but feeling ok. I’m with you as for the gingerale. I think the worst part for me was In fact the nausea! I felt it right after waking up from anesthesia up until about 1 week post op. Miralax - just one cup - was ok at home with just Tylenol and the nsaid for about 1 week. I was not given an abdominal binder or an incentive spirometer. I wonder why but 2 weeks post op and I’m feeling Okish but still can’t really bend like before and still taking it easy. My black and blue and beet red abdomen is going down now and clearing up. Thank you for all your wonderful guidance! You are definitely spot on and thank you so much for sharing your experience! It is so helpful!
Hello I'm scheduled in 2 weeks for hysterectomy but leaving my ovaries too. If you don't mind me asking, was your surgery an open abdomen surgery or lathroscopic robotic?
Simply Shell, Thanks for the information. I am 6 days out of unscheduled total hysterectomy of abdominal, bilateral salpingectomy. I did not think I would make it, but family and love brought me through. My surgery happened because I was rushed to the ER with heavy vaginal bleeding and extreme pain. I had never seen so much blood, and my husband told me I kept going in and out of consciousness. I wish I had time to prepare myself. When your body speaks, you need to listen, and my doctors were slow to react to my concerns.
I'm having the same response from my doctor, my total hysterectomy was 4years ago but it left me with a prolapse bladder through the operation my pain is uncomfortable and sore but I'm not getting anywhere with my complaints 😢🇬🇧I need help.
@@maggieboo8142I honestly had one of the best docs there was, and it was a man! Total professional and listened to all my concerns… comforted me during an emotional breakdown, and asked me more than once if I was sure this was what I wantes, and he was like “we dont have to rush, we can take our time to make sure you are ok”. I thank GOD for him, and the angels in my family that have surrounded me with love and care. This has been an amazing experience and I just thank GOD for everyone.
Just had my surgery a week ago. Wish I had seen your video beforehand, but after going through all the same things, you hit on all the points and made some great suggestions. ❤
@SimplyShell417 Better every day, after a couple set backs, including a UTI that I didn't prepare for (neither did my doc!). I am sure your video has helped so many women advocate for better care throughout the process! Thank you!
Just had my hysterectomy 9/8/23. I had alot or nausea afterwards, but all the items you stated was on point! I have most of them because they have been blessings! Thank you!
Had it the 22nd of May2023 and all that you are saying is so true! The constipation and gas is real! Coughing from tube hurts like Crazy!!! Thanks for posting for us!
Omgg this video just turned my stomach.!! I wasn’t nervous but now i am!!! Im doing all this!!! Anything she didnt list that can help for recovery please let me know!!
Looking good Sis!! I am so so so happy for you!! GOD is good all the time. Happy that you are recovering fast and looking sassy and doing you!!! God is merciful, gracious, loving, forgiving and here to repair your body, soul, mind and everything else you can think of....Be well, Michelle!! #BLACKGIRLMAGIC #WONTHEDOIT #BLESSEDANDFAVORED #GODSGOTYOU
Came across your video at 1:30 am because I couldn’t manage to get up to use the restroom without having pain. Granted I am only 1 week post op but nevertheless…I used your belly band technique when getting up and it really made a HUGE difference! Thank you for tips and advice.
Thank you for sharing your experience about this process from start to finish. Praying for you and everyone who are affected by reproductive issues. I’m here in bed listening to your story. Looking forward to my own process of partial abdominal hysterectomy. It’s been a helluva journey. Thank you. ❤❤❤
This was a very detailed account of postoperative care. Even better than what they gave me in the hospital. Sorry that you had to go through this and I hope you are healed. Thank you for the awesome information and sharing your experience ! 🙏🏼❤️
Omg...so helpful- sitting in the hospital at 2 am overthinking and in pain will get me through the night to get discharged in the morning.God Bless you for the transparency and information.
I brought my own gloss and reapplied before they rolled me into the OR. I really wanted to wear my matte lipstick. 😂😂 The constipation is SOOOO REAL!! Like you’re trying to give birth. My two moms gave me a high dose of Senna. The Colace at 250mg did nothing for me. It took five days to finally have a bowel movement. I felt MUCH better after. Before surgery I was given an antibiotic to prevent UTI. I’m low key upset I didn’t get the spirometer or the light weight waist trainer. 😂😂😂
Thank you for these tips. I'm about three weeks after my hysterectomy and I still feel miserable. Yes, my incisions are healing up well, I still feel pain in my insides and I'm doing what I can but I admit that I'm still feeling miserable and I think it's just more of the being afraid of being constipated thing so I've taken the stool softener but my problem honestly is, I don't have much of an appetite. I did try to eat a little bit more and worse, I few days after my surgery (it was December 19th), I wanted to take part in some Christmas festivities which was likely a bad idea so I overdid it. I'm babying myself now. I go from my bed to my recliner sofa day in, day out and it's frankly getting very boring but your advice is very good, especially having a good support system. My husband is doing all he can, he's a sweetheart but when he's working, I'm left to my own devices. So for the time being, I'm trying to heal up. I just wish it was faster. 😔
Michelle you are beautiful! I'm glad that you shared the procedure & recovery process of your hysterectomy! Prayers for healing & full recovery! God bless!
I just had mine 3 weeks ago. Everything you said is spot on. The only problem now is hot flashes. I wish i had of had my surgery by home aka east, jersey/Philly. Being in the south the treatment is just different.
Thank you so much! I will be having my procedure at my c section delivery in a couple of months. My baby has several complications and will definitely will need more attention than I but to know now more or so what I will need to help so that I can put all my focus on baby and her procedures has definitely been a blessing. Thank you so much! Yessss Jesus is our strength and the love you poured into this video will be a blessing to a lot of women like me in situations like these. Blessings!
Thanks for sharing all the must haves. I'm going to have a hysterectomy soon and my husband and I have been trying to think about all the things I may need to plan better. You've helped us immensely by sharing.
I have just started following you and these hysterectomy videos is really informative. I am having a full abdominal hysterectomy with bilateral salpingectomy and you giving me everything I need. Thank you!!
thankyou sm for this love im a trans guy getting my hysto done soon and its all very overwhelming and uncomfortable for me but u have a really welcoming vibe and this was insanely helpful
Thank you so much for your video. I am five days post surgery. I did many similar preparation‘s. Which is listening to you talk about what you are experiencing and how crazy your stomach and bowels felt is totally relatable. It was very reassuring. Just listening to another woman. share about exactly how I am feeling. Thank you
Thank you so much for this! I go in for a totally hysterectomy, bladder tack, and labial repair from giving birth 10 months ago. Such great tips and has helped me feel more calm about the situation!
Hello luv! I had a hysterectomy a week ago, and ALL of the things you put in your video are spot on. Bless you! I had to learn how to navigate a few things, like what pain med combination works best for me because I, too, don't do heavy meds, and the abdominal binder is a game changer. Each person heals differently, but you have set us all up for success with this video. Thank you! Be blessed ❤
I’m about to have this surgery and seeing your video has really helped me plan for what all must haves I need to get. Thank you for posting your video ❤
Thanks for this video, my hysterectomy was on 8/1/2023 and let me tell you the post opt pain is REAL. I'm finding it difficult to lay in bed so far, I'm sleeping in my recliner. I'm usually a side sleeper but now when I lay on my side I feel like all my abdominal organs are spilling out (lol), so if anyone have any suggestions I would love to hear them. Out of everything you mentioned I would like to say that the heat and cold compresses have been a life saver for me, sometimes I feel like they work even better than the pain meds that I was prescribed (but trust me you're going to need those meds).
I had a total hysterectomy 4 years ago but unfortunately it gave me a prolapse bladder the doctor told me to do pelvic exercise but the pain gets worse every day I've had rings inserted over time but I think I will have to have a another operation to mend this problem, I've been so unhappy I keep telling my doctor but I don't seem to be getting any response 😢 🇬🇧
Thank you for sharing your story. I am 3 weeks post-op today and today is about the best I've felt since surgery. The first 4 days were the worst for me as well. So far, there have been as many good days as bad ones. I have nearly everything on your list except a belly binder. I did purchase some supportive underwear though. I also have a hard time not being active and pushed myself too far and had to recuperate for a couple of days. I have also learned not to allow myself to become constipated. I think that I tried to introduce certain foods back into my diet too soon. I know that my surgery was the best option for me and that it will take some time to recover. As much as I want to jump right back into my normal routine, I just can't do it right now. In order to attempt to sit still, I have decided to brush up on my music theory and learn to play the ukulele. 😊
Goodness. I don’t know what I’m expecting but I keep thinking I’m going to be up and moving around. I got STD from work and I’m like I probably won’t need the full six weeks to recover, but as I’m reading these comments I’m like mannnn maybe I will need the six weeks 😮! I’m just gonna keep telling myself everything will be ok and I’ll have a speedy recovery and I’ll be up and moving around in a week, so if I do decide to take the full 6 weeks I can use the time to actually enjoy myself instead of spending it in pain and recovery 😫🥴. Here is wishing for best 💗.
@citygirl713 I'm nearly 6 months into recovery now, and I'm feeling great! There is still a bit of redness to my scarring and they are tender to the touch at times, but otherwise, I feel fully recovered. A friend of mine had a hysterectomy the "traditional" way years ago and said it was a good 6 months before she felt like herself. I'm thankful that I was able to have the robotic surgery and recover in such a timely manner. Best of luck to you and I hope that your recovery goes well.
Thank you so very much for making this video. I have to have a full hysterectomy in about a week. I believe in the Lord also. Thank you again so much for this video. I'm going to take all of your advice, get all the supplies ready, and get on my knees before my surgery. I hope you have a blessed day.
Your final words about over thinking that’s me lol, going to have a total hysterectomy including ovaries and the waiting is horrible and I to have been reading my Bible and praying, thank you for this helpful video 🤗🫶
Thank you so much for this video. I'm so use to doing everything by myself that I thought I could do this too. I'm glad I found your video and will definitely make sure to have someone with me thru this process. Sending you lots of healing energy and speedy recovery.
Thank you for sharing this information. I live in a very rural area and will need to fly in to the city for my procedure. I was taking notes from this video like I was going to take a quiz later! Very helpful information. I definitely have a shopping list now!
Baby that water, ice chips (like Chick-fil-A ice), ginger ale, and cranberry juice have been my life lines!!!!!!! I also drink Gatorade/Powerade but not as much cause of the carbs. Also, if you want to do a change up, Topo Chico has been a game changer! I recommend drinking it with cranberry juice!
I really appreciate this video and your confidence to share your faith. I had uterus and cervix removed in 2005, I’m now having tubes and ovaries removed due to ovarian cyst that’s engulfed my ovary and is the size of my kidney. I may have ovarian cancer, and will know for sure on Monday 5/13. My incision will be from rib cage to pelvic bone, that’s very concerning.
Your video so perfect. I wish I saw your blog before my surgery. .you explained it very clear no confusion. .you are very natural not like others that I watched they made it like its nothing and it's easy no pain. One girl was like saying going up and down the stairs the very first day helping the kids doing their homework dusting like no pain at all. .took a shower right away etc..etc..girl you are awesome❤...I will highly recommend your video..thank you so much for making this video. Thumbs up❤❤❤
Thank you so very much. I am going to be mostly caring for myself alone after my surgery. I am trying to get all of the information I can ahead of time to be able to best help. I wrote down everything you suggested. It is helping bring me peace of mind. Take care...God Bless.
Thank you, a lot of this was helpful some I knew or found out real quick, the peridium would have been useful. I use a pillow vs binder . I had surgery on Monday and I’m doing all my normal house stuff except driving.
Thank you beautiful queen for this video i had no idea of what i was going to do after my hysterectomy sugery in a few weeks , your detailed video of what you need is a fantastic guide on what to do and have after sugery , bless you doll ❤
I love you guys, thank you for loving me❤️

Ladies, Hi, How did everyone make out with their surgery? I go Monday and I don’t know what to look for😩🤦🏽♀️
Pls don't be constipated after the surgery. Constipation ruined my health. After surgery since 5 months, I m suffering with piles
As a man trying to get educated on this, THANK YOU!!❤

Thank you so much for the tips and words of encouragement. I'm having a full hysterectomy tomorrow, and your video definitely helped me make sure I'm ready mentally, physically, emotionally, and most importantly, spiritually. Continued prayers for a full speedy recovery. ❤❤❤

Hi simply shell. Thank you so much for these videos. I’m wAtching this one and will watch them all soon. I wish I would have discovered these prior. I had a total hysterectomy (kept ovaries though) 2 weeks ago. Still recovering but feeling ok. I’m with you as for the gingerale. I think the worst part for me was In fact the nausea! I felt it right after waking up from anesthesia up until about 1 week post op. Miralax - just one cup - was ok at home with just Tylenol and the nsaid for about 1 week. I was not given an abdominal binder or an incentive spirometer. I wonder why but 2 weeks post op and I’m feeling Okish but still can’t really bend like before and still taking it easy. My black and blue and beet red abdomen is going down now and clearing up. Thank you for all your wonderful guidance! You are definitely spot on and thank you so much for sharing your experience! It is so helpful!
Hello I'm scheduled in 2 weeks for hysterectomy but leaving my ovaries too. If you don't mind me asking, was your surgery an open abdomen surgery or lathroscopic robotic?
Simply Shell,
Thanks for the information. I am 6 days out of unscheduled total hysterectomy of abdominal, bilateral salpingectomy. I did not think I would make it, but family and love brought me through. My surgery happened because I was rushed to the ER with heavy vaginal bleeding and extreme pain. I had never seen so much blood, and my husband told me I kept going in and out of consciousness. I wish I had time to prepare myself. When your body speaks, you need to listen, and my doctors were slow to react to my concerns.
So glad you’re ok, its not easy🙏🏽❤️
I'm having the same response from my doctor, my total hysterectomy was 4years ago but it left me with a prolapse bladder through the operation my pain is uncomfortable and sore but I'm not getting anywhere with my complaints 😢🇬🇧I need help.
@@maggieboo8142I honestly had one of the best docs there was, and it was a man! Total professional and listened to all my concerns… comforted me during an emotional breakdown, and asked me more than once if I was sure this was what I wantes, and he was like “we dont have to rush, we can take our time to make sure you are ok”. I thank GOD for him, and the angels in my family that have surrounded me with love and care. This has been an amazing experience and I just thank GOD for everyone.
Just had my surgery a week ago. Wish I had seen your video beforehand, but after going through all the same things, you hit on all the points and made some great suggestions. ❤
Thanks for watching ☺️ how are you feeling?
@SimplyShell417 Better every day, after a couple set backs, including a UTI that I didn't prepare for (neither did my doc!). I am sure your video has helped so many women advocate for better care throughout the process! Thank you!
Exactly why am I watching this after my surgery instead of before 😂
Thank you needed this video surgery next week I'm getting nervous. ❤
Just had my hysterectomy 9/8/23. I had alot or nausea afterwards, but all the items you stated was on point! I have most of them because they have been blessings! Thank you!
Thanks for sharing, prayers your way for a speedy recovery, would love if you subscribed🫶🏽
asking the dr for some scopolamine patches is vital. that helps to stop the nausea and vomiting. also zofran
Had it the 22nd of May2023 and all that you are saying is so true! The constipation and gas is real! Coughing from tube hurts like Crazy!!! Thanks for posting for us!
Absolutely; best of luck to you❤️
Omgg this video just turned my stomach.!! I wasn’t nervous but now i am!!! Im doing all this!!! Anything she didnt list that can help for recovery please let me know!!
Looking good Sis!! I am so so so happy for you!! GOD is good all the time. Happy that you are recovering fast and looking sassy and doing you!!! God is merciful, gracious, loving, forgiving and here to repair your body, soul, mind and everything else you can think of....Be well, Michelle!! #BLACKGIRLMAGIC #WONTHEDOIT #BLESSEDANDFAVORED #GODSGOTYOU
Came across your video at 1:30 am because I couldn’t manage to get up to use the restroom without having pain. Granted I am only 1 week post op but nevertheless…I used your belly band technique when getting up and it really made a HUGE difference! Thank you for tips and advice.
You’re very welcome, hope you subscribe for more 🫶🏽
Thank you for sharing your experience about this process from start to finish.
Praying for you and everyone who are affected by reproductive issues.
I’m here in bed listening to your story. Looking forward to my own process of partial abdominal hysterectomy. It’s been a helluva journey.
Thank you.
❤❤❤

This was a very detailed account of postoperative care. Even better than what they gave me in the hospital. Sorry that you had to go through this and I hope you are healed. Thank you for the awesome information and sharing your experience ! 🙏🏼❤️
Thank you hun❤️
Omg...so helpful- sitting in the hospital at 2 am overthinking and in pain will get me through the night to get discharged in the morning.God Bless you for the transparency and information.
Thanks for watching hun🥰 praying for a speedy recovery 🤗would love if you subscribed and watched more

I brought my own gloss and reapplied before they rolled me into the OR. I really wanted to wear my matte lipstick. 😂😂
The constipation is SOOOO REAL!! Like you’re trying to give birth. My two moms gave me a high dose of Senna. The Colace at 250mg did nothing for me. It took five days to finally have a bowel movement. I felt MUCH better after.
Before surgery I was given an antibiotic to prevent UTI. I’m low key upset I didn’t get the spirometer or the light weight waist trainer. 😂😂😂
I’m scheduled for my partial hysterectomy on the 22nd of this month. This video was so helpful!! Thanks for sharing your advice!
How do you feel now?
Thank you for these tips. I'm about three weeks after my hysterectomy and I still feel miserable. Yes, my incisions are healing up well, I still feel pain in my insides and I'm doing what I can but I admit that I'm still feeling miserable and I think it's just more of the being afraid of being constipated thing so I've taken the stool softener but my problem honestly is, I don't have much of an appetite. I did try to eat a little bit more and worse, I few days after my surgery (it was December 19th), I wanted to take part in some Christmas festivities which was likely a bad idea so I overdid it. I'm babying myself now.
I go from my bed to my recliner sofa day in, day out and it's frankly getting very boring but your advice is very good, especially having a good support system. My husband is doing all he can, he's a sweetheart but when he's working, I'm left to my own devices. So for the time being, I'm trying to heal up. I just wish it was faster. 😔
I understand I’m glad you’re healing well. Try to find things that occupy your mind throughout the day❤️
How are you feeling now? Did you have a bikini cut and ovaries and cervix removed?
Thank you sister and Amen 🙏🏽 GOD has brought us thru this . I had NOBODY!! GOOD VIDEO EXCELLENT INFORMATION!!

I just had mine 3 weeks ago. Everything you said is spot on. The only problem now is hot flashes. I wish i had of had my surgery by home aka east, jersey/Philly. Being in the south the treatment is just different.
Had my hyst today. Ugh. I’ve been thinking about you and this video all day. I got everything you recommended…THANK YOU!! ❤
Sending hugs love🤗❤️ please keep me updated
Thank you so much! I will be having my procedure at my c section delivery in a couple of months. My baby has several complications and will definitely will need more attention than I but to know now more or so what I will need to help so that I can put all my focus on baby and her procedures has definitely been a blessing. Thank you so much! Yessss Jesus is our strength and the love you poured into this video will be a blessing to a lot of women like me in situations like these. Blessings!
Thanks for sharing all the must haves. I'm going to have a hysterectomy soon and my husband and I have been trying to think about all the things I may need to plan better. You've helped us immensely by sharing.

Thank you so much for your video. I am five days post surgery. I did many similar preparation‘s. Which is listening to you talk about what you are experiencing and how crazy your stomach and bowels felt is totally relatable. It was very reassuring. Just listening to another woman. share about exactly how I am feeling. Thank you
No problem thanks for watching hope you subscribe ❤️
I love how you added the bible ❤
THANK YOU SO MUCH! I was just told I need a hysterectomy. Headed to make an Amazon list right now!
Best of luck hun! Hope you subscribe❤️
Thank you so much for this! I go in for a totally hysterectomy, bladder tack, and labial repair from giving birth 10 months ago. Such great tips and has helped me feel more calm about the situation!
Good luck!! You will be just fine ❤️
Hello luv! I had a hysterectomy a week ago, and ALL of the things you put in your video are spot on. Bless you! I had to learn how to navigate a few things, like what pain med combination works best for me because I, too, don't do heavy meds, and the abdominal binder is a game changer. Each person heals differently, but you have set us all up for success with this video. Thank you! Be blessed ❤
Thank you for watching , prayers for a speedy recovery✨ please subscribe for more
I’m about to have this surgery and seeing your video has really helped me plan for what all must haves I need to get. Thank you for posting your video ❤
Thank you for sharing, prayers sent ur way❤️ hope you subscribe and watch more
Thanks for this video, my hysterectomy was on 8/1/2023 and let me tell you the post opt pain is REAL. I'm finding it difficult to lay in bed so far, I'm sleeping in my recliner. I'm usually a side sleeper but now when I lay on my side I feel like all my abdominal organs are spilling out (lol), so if anyone have any suggestions I would love to hear them. Out of everything you mentioned I would like to say that the heat and cold compresses have been a life saver for me, sometimes I feel like they work even better than the pain meds that I was prescribed (but trust me you're going to need those meds).
Best of luck ❤️
I’m scheduled next Friday 😢… I’ve heard about the spilling feeling 😮😮
I had a total hysterectomy 4 years ago but unfortunately it gave me a prolapse bladder the doctor told me to do pelvic exercise but the pain gets worse every day I've had rings inserted over time but I think I will have to have a another operation to mend this problem, I've been so unhappy I keep telling my doctor but I don't seem to be getting any response 😢 🇬🇧
How are things going for you now?
Thank you for sharing your story. I am 3 weeks post-op today and today is about the best I've felt since surgery. The first 4 days were the worst for me as well. So far, there have been as many good days as bad ones. I have nearly everything on your list except a belly binder. I did purchase some supportive underwear though. I also have a hard time not being active and pushed myself too far and had to recuperate for a couple of days. I have also learned not to allow myself to become constipated. I think that I tried to introduce certain foods back into my diet too soon. I know that my surgery was the best option for me and that it will take some time to recover. As much as I want to jump right back into my normal routine, I just can't do it right now. In order to attempt to sit still, I have decided to brush up on my music theory and learn to play the ukulele. 😊
So glad you’re recovering well❤️ dont rush yourself..
Goodness. I don’t know what I’m expecting but I keep thinking I’m going to be up and moving around. I got STD from work and I’m like I probably won’t need the full six weeks to recover, but as I’m reading these comments I’m like mannnn maybe I will need the six weeks 😮! I’m just gonna keep telling myself everything will be ok and I’ll have a speedy recovery and I’ll be up and moving around in a week, so if I do decide to take the full 6 weeks I can use the time to actually enjoy myself instead of spending it in pain and recovery 😫🥴. Here is wishing for best 💗.
@citygirl713 I'm nearly 6 months into recovery now, and I'm feeling great! There is still a bit of redness to my scarring and they are tender to the touch at times, but otherwise, I feel fully recovered. A friend of mine had a hysterectomy the "traditional" way years ago and said it was a good 6 months before she felt like herself. I'm thankful that I was able to have the robotic surgery and recover in such a timely manner. Best of luck to you and I hope that your recovery goes well.
Thank you so very much for making this video. I have to have a full hysterectomy in about a week. I believe in the Lord also. Thank you again so much for this video. I'm going to take all of your advice, get all the supplies ready, and get on my knees before my surgery. I hope you have a blessed day.
No problem best of luck; would love an update , and also hope you subscribe ❤️

Baby that water, ice chips (like Chick-fil-A ice), ginger ale, and cranberry juice have been my life lines!!!!!!! I also drink Gatorade/Powerade but not as much cause of the carbs. Also, if you want to do a change up, Topo Chico has been a game changer! I recommend drinking it with cranberry juice!
I go in tomorrow and really enjoyed your sage advice and many others who shared their journey!

I really appreciate this video and your confidence to share your faith. I had uterus and cervix removed in 2005, I’m now having tubes and ovaries removed due to ovarian cyst that’s engulfed my ovary and is the size of my kidney. I may have ovarian cancer, and will know for sure on Monday 5/13. My incision will be from rib cage to pelvic bone, that’s very concerning.
