I just had hernia surgery today. This method helped me immensely...I must also say good luck to all the women who are having there procedures done! I admit that you women have such strength and pain tolerance compared to men. You ladies are treasures and deserve nothing but respect and as a male I honor you all! God Bless!
Thanks Chris all the best for your recovery!
And we love you back!
@Chris Emond…. Thank you hope you’re doing well.
This just helped me get out of bed on my own, laid for hours trying to work out how to best get up. Thank you!
@cinnamonice3026 my pleasure! I'm delighted that you were able to apply the steps from the video and successfully get out of bed on your own. Your feedback means a lot, and I'm grateful to have been able to assist you. ❤️🌺
Had a hysterectomy 6 days ago! This was extremely helpful because my husband has been helping me get out of bed.
Thank you! This video really helped me. I had a total abdominal hysterectomy 4 days ago. I was able to get out of bed alone using this technique 36 hrs after my surgery. You really need good arm and leg strength to do it. I did morning yoga everyday two months before the surgery, and I think this really helped a lot. I feel very flexible, and I’m walking much better than I did with my c section. Your channel is going to help me during this difficult process. Thank you!
Thank you! This technique should be taught to ALL women before their hysterectomy!!! I'm going to tell my oncological gynecologist. No one showed me this and getting out of bed has been torture. I injured my back and my arm muscles in the unnecessary struggle. With this technique, my injuries would NOT have happened.
So glad to read this helped you - makes it all worthwhile!

Thank you so much, I had hysterectomy last week and my hospital sent me home with no advice on how to get out of bed safely with minimal pain. Was never visited by physio during my hospital stay. Your technique is perfect solution for me!
@Alison Cook My pleasure! I'm so glad this is helping you out. Warmest wishes for a speedy recovery 🙏 ❤️
1 day post laparoscopic hysterectomy. This video just save me! The hardest part so far is not so much thed pain but getting supine position to upright. I actually laid and cried until BF woke up to help me. In the house all by myself, getting out of the bed was the most difficult part of day 1. Thank you
just went through an abdominal hysterectomy yesterday. this video is really helpful. thank you very much
All the best for your recovery Lily!
Thank you so much this was so so so helpful as the nurses in the hospital were not helpful when I asked for help with getting out of bed! Appreciate this video a lot.
@Marisa Wallace I'm so glad this helps you Marisa , slow and steady - wishing you all the best for your recovery! 🙏 ❤️
By far one of the most helpful videos I've watched since my abdominal myomectomy 4 weeks ago. I cannot thank you enough, Michelle! I received excellent care at the hospital, but oddly no one showed me how to safely maneuver one of the most basic activities post surgery: going from lying down to sitting up. I was struggling with this painfully and awkwardly trying to figure this out on my own until I came across your video, Michelle. Now I can sit up with ease. Many thanks!
@Tara B you're most welcome! Thank you, I really appreciate you taking the time to express that - I’m touched beyond words.❤️🌺 It's great to read that you are making progress. All the best to your recovery🙏 ❤️
Just practiced for recovery from cracked ribs, tender spleen and bruised kidney. This is a lovely method!
Kudos, Michelle!
Helps maintain independence and likely lessen recovery time ♥️
Had a hysterectomy two days ago, thank god I found this video. Thank you for these tips!!
Glad it was helpful!
Me too....
I'm 3 weeks PO and this technique has helped me tremendously. Just curious as to when and how does one start attempting to get out of bed normal again?
Your video is amazing. I watched this video over and over again before and after my Hysterectomy. And all my Hystersisters also benefited from this very crucial video. Thank you so very much. I am so shocked that the nurses in the hospital do not instruct you on such an important movement to help minimise the pain of getting out and into bed.
@Kim Collins I’m so glad to read this helped you Kim, yes I believe women can benefit from practicing this technique prior to hysterectomy as you have as this makes using the technique second nature post op rather than trying to learn it when in pain. All the best for your recovery and thanks so much for your feedback 🙏🌸
I was so lucky to have watched your videos before my hysterectomy op. It saved me.... and I passed this info on to many of my friends and Family who were having their op too. Thank you
Thanks for the vid. Today is April 4, 2019. Just had a hysterectomy on April 2. I am not having fun lol. Cant laugh, sneeze or cough without pain. I have congestion as well 😤
I had my hysterectomy in 2012 and this vid saved me so much. I found it pre op. To this day (I just shared it a few min ago) this is THE vid I send to any lady I find online who is pre op. It's been a huge help to countless ladies since 2012!
@Sarienn Horror Narrator Thank you, it makes my day to read this. Many thanks for your lovely ongoing support, I am most grateful to you indeed ❤️
Thank you for this video. I had my surgery a little over a month ago and I used your advice and I have been able to get in and out of bed free of pain from day one.
I am having total abdominal hisyerectomy bilateral salpingo this Tuesday March the 30th, they found a big 20 cm mass on my abdomen so I will have a huge incision, I am so scared. I've found your video yesterday, Thank you you are an angel!!❤ I've mastered this technique today in 20 minutes just practicing ❤.
Excellent this will help you a lot - all the best for your surgery, prayers!
How was it? Did you have a good recovery? I am having mine this Thursday...and I am very scared 😯,did they give you a epidural? Best wishes from Norway 💞
Hi dear, how was your surgery/incision? I hope you’re feeling better. you are very strong to share with us your journey.
Please give update, I'm in the same situation with 2 massive fibroids, 16 cm and 13 cm. I'm a single mom with a daughter , a dog, and cat to still care for and no help. Worried about sooooo many things.
that was so helpful! my hysterectomy was 2 weeks ago, and your tips znd exercises really gave me an idea of how to move. thank you 💖
They should teach it in a hospital. Unfortunately they don't.
Seriously. And then they try to pull you up which increases abdominal pressure 🤦🏼♀️
Perfect! I was able to use this technique with minimal pain. Thank you for posting this.
Wish I had watched this prior to my surgery. Very helpful!
That was so helpful, thank you so much❤
Thank you! Having my TAH done in a week. This is very helpful.
I am going to try, maybe. Lol. In the hospital t didn't show me how to get in and out of bed at all. Gei out was better than getting back in. I never slept in the bed again after I realized how much nicer the recliner was in the hospital bedroom and 1st day home, I'm in my recliner! I felt like I might have pulled something the first time I tried to get back in bed. My Dr told me I couldn't hurt any stitches but it sure hurt me for a bit. Thanks for sharing this,! Whatever you do, move slowly through the movement when you can.
This is excellent advice Michelle.
Thank you
such good advice.
Thank you.
Hello from India. Had a hysterectomy just 2 days ago. Thank you so much for this. Really helped
Wonderful,so kind of you. I am a doctor,will share with docs,hcw's and patients.
Thank you soooooo much
Did my surgery Monday and this video is amazing….thank you.
All the best for your recovery!
@@michellephysio …thank you I am doing great at the moment your videos helped me so much. Thank you.
Just had my surgery 1 week ago! Thank u for the tips..was so hard also painful trying to get out of bed. My husband and sister had to help it's still a little hard taking it one day at a time
All the best, glad this helped you!
this will help a bunch
Thank u for this video it made a world of difference getting out of bed.
I agree!! I'm going to start practicing!
I watched this video two days before my surgery. Practiced doing it a few times. My surgery was 3/10 and this method worked like a charm when it was time to get up the first time after surgery.
I am having my surgery this coming Tuesday, and I just found this video, I am also practicing 😅, I hope I can be like you!🥰
Thank you!!!!
thank you!
I had abdominal surgery and watched a fair amount of these videos and eventually came up with what works for me. Months later, I had to share this information with a friend and in rewatching the videos, I realized that none addressed every point quite right. I was just going to make my own video for her, when I saw this one. THIS IS THE ONE that hits all of the nuance that is needed. Thank you! Might I suggest that repost this video with a more general title, such as “How to get out of bed after abdominal surgery?” I do wish I would have found this for my initial search
Great idea William - it's time to remake the vid. so I'll update to abdo surgery title, thank you!
This video helped me so much! Thank you!
@Michell Feanny my pleasure - thanks so much for sharing and I'm so glad to read this helps you. All the best to you! 🙏
thank you
I wish I had found your channel before surgery 👍💞
So much pain, thank you just got out after 2 days in ,vertical insition
Thank God I found this ! Just had one
I already know this is gonna help me
Wish I researched this before my surgery. I just had a myomectomy a week ago and the bed is the biggest struggle.
C Dove I just had my hysterectomy last Friday and no one showed me either. The healthcare field needs to educate us on this! I figured it out for myself.
I wish I had found this video beforehand!!! I had suffered tremendously!
Thank you ❤ this is similar to the way we get up after savasana yoga
I had two hernias in April now o just got a hysterectomy. This helps me
Thank you, Michelle!!
Lol I had one and a baby so feeding baby and recovery and still moving is bad
Its too good imformative videos
I am having an abdominal hysterectomy on May 23 and this still looks like it is going to really pull on the abdominals a lot! I've been trying this now, and have a difficult time with doing it without pulling my stomach! I can imagine what it's going to be like after Wednesday! I'm very worried and nervous about it!!!!! Thank you for your video and I hope it helps others!
I just had a davinci robotic hysterectomy and I wish they had given me these tips. I am on day 6 after my surgery so I will definitely be doing this for the rest of my recovery! Thank you!
My pleasure! all the best for your recovery
hi you are doing this on the equivlent of a single bed i have a double 4 poster
should i do it difrently
Thanks for this, I had no trouble doing this while in the hospital. at home, it's been a challenge with the bed being a bit softer. Any tips as to how to make this easier? Thanks in advance
Gosh, this really helped me. Thanks. It felt strange not knowing how do this and having to look it up.
@Kerri Ayling wonderful! I'm glad this helped you. Thanks so much for the update 💖
Thank you for this!!! I wish the nurses had told me this when I was in the hospital after my open surgery hysterectomy. I struggled to get out of bed without this technique. It was exhausting and painful. I am sharing your video with anyone I know who has had abdominal surgery. Thank you!
thanks a lot, much appreciated!!
@leannefok you're most welcome - happy to help!❤️
Hi & thank your feedback. Physiotherapists usually advise not to hold onto something to pull your body because pulling your body uses your upper abdominal muscles, potentially straining your internal wound. If momentum is used from the roll it is far easier after abdominal hysterectomy which makes moving even more difficult. Yes it can initially be difficult to lift and lower leg at the same time in which case we teach moving one leg at a time initially. Hoping this helps Best wishes Michelle
Hi I had a hysterectomy a day ag,and get up is not my problem, when I don't sit up in the bed and to I felt the pressure the pain in my abdominal.
In hospital now. And just knew I would remember🙄 Nope been struggling, instead of watching again
Great
Thank you. Just had my op and this technique helped immensely.
So helpful. Wish somebody had told this at hospital during Pod.
@indhuraman4792 I'm glad you found this video helpful! It's always great to hear when these tips can make a difference. Thank you for sharing your thoughts! ❤️
I wish I had found your video three years ago - I was totally dependent on my husband helping me out of bed for about two months.
Had mine on 2018, and this is so helpful. Today, i sent this to my bff for her use. Thank you so much❤
My pleasure - makes a difference to know this doesn’t it!
@@michellephysio does*
Why do they not show you this at the hospital? Geeez
I just want to profess my love and adoration for you and your craft 😂 I have used this since my hysterectomy 4 days ago with no issues at all. ❤❤❤
@melmel007 Thank you for your kind words and support. Wishing you a smooth and speedy recovery! 🙏❤
4 days for me too
@@Lorrainecats I hope you’re doing ok!
@@michellephysio thank you! You’re a popular woman by the way. Whatever forum I have read has posted your videos saying how awesome they are. I do agree! I wish I had known when I went through 3 cesareans. ❤️
@melmel007 my pleasure! Makes me so happy to read your comment. Your support means a lot to me, thanks so much for taking the time to comment. Wish you all the best! 🙏❤️
I wish i would have found this video sooner.
Thank you so much, I still find it difficult, but I will practice x
@Asma Benoun you're welcome! Thank you for taking the time to comment. Hope this helps 🙏
@@michellephysio I have learnt so much from you, thank you very much for your videos, I'm just 7days OP of hysterectomy. I was so confused at the hospital for what I should do. I'm very glad found your channel ❤
Probably should have watched this a week and a half ago…
my mother gallblader ND UTRUS REMOVED few days before but now she is feeling pain in her bally battn and surrounding areas.kindly advice me what to do.now
They bloody don't teach this in the nsw Sydney Australia hospitals either. No physiotherapy support before discharge
I just had an abdominal hysterectomy two days ago. Since I'm out the hospital bed, I don't know how to sleep since my bed doesn't have an incline. I'm scared to lay on my side because of the pressure. Can someone please help me??
On your back with a pillow under your knees is the most comfortable post op position and one pillow for your head/neck. When you do start lying on your side, use a pillow lengthways against your tummy for support, all the best for your recovery KKD
I am 26 and am having my hysterectomy on the 20th this month. I am so scared. I remember when I was little the pain my mama went through, so I am dreading it! Thank you for the informational video. I am doing my research before hand.
Good luck Valerie - these days hysterectomy is a usually a straight forward procedure and quite different to those performed years ago especially when it comes to pain relief and getting women up and about quickly after surgery
Hope you are doing well mine is in July and I am scared and so nervous...hope you are well
I'm having mine done August 5th
I'm so glad I found this video. I'm actually doing okay getting in an out of bed. My mom has had two hip replacements so I have been doing what she was taught to do since the hospital didn't show me how to get in and out of bed. My problem is that I am a left side sleeper. I'm five days post op and not sleeping very well because I'm having a hard time turning onto my side. I'm a a very large woman so movement isn't the greatest under normal circumstances. I'm wearing the belly band to bed. I'm just super afraid of hurting myself when I try to roll to my side and try to get comfortable. Any advice?
Hey Tammy yes the rolling is challenging for sure. Just try not to twist through your trunk as you roll - having a pillow between the legs and/or held against the abdomen for support while rolling can help too. The slower you move the harder this is so try not to move too slowly if possible, all the best for your recovery!
@@michellephysio I will. Thank you so much for responding 😊
I have a step ladder to get in bed. My bed dit up high and I'm t short to get in and out without the ladder.
I just had a adominal hysterectomy done on march 29 they never taught me how tk get in and out of bed and im still having problems.
Rose keep trying with this technique, roll right onto your side before pushing up sideways - it gets much easier with practice and time. All the best for your recovery!
@@michellephysio is it okay to roll to the left as there is a wall on my right side
will pushing your weight open the wound again? really cautious about doing this 3 days after laparoscopic virecocelectomy on my left side.
Shouldn’t be an issue - you may find keeping your left side up and pushing up through your right side most comfortable, all the best for recovery!
what if you don't have any upper body strength?
The less upper body strength you have the more challenging this is without doubt. Trying to combine the roll onto the side straight into the sitting up sideways action helps to maintain momentum and reduces the amount of upper body effort required. This takes practice!
I am 2 days post op of a laparoscopic hysterectomy when I attenp to lay on my side my stomach goes haywire I just want to get up without feeling like I am busting my stiches
This will improve, hang in there and try to use this technique if you can. All the best for your recovery
I'm too short to use this. I had a kitchen chair I grabbed thought the back and did a pull up using only my shoulder and arm mussels. This was 3 months ago. It's get easier after a couple times, a few false starts to learn how to move without pulling my core.
is bed or mat is better to sleep during fybroid pain
Whatever feels most comfortable for you, take care
I had an abdominal hysterectomy 2 weeks and 6 days ago and am still using this method as a precaution but when can I just sit up and lie strait back in bed like normal? I am recovering well. I still have swelling should I wait until the swelling goes away?
Still have swelling? I do too, but it's only been 5 days. My worst problem is gas and constipation.
@@Lorrainecats It has been several years now since I had the procedure and I am all healed up. The scar is very close to invisible. My stomach looks normal again. My abdominal strength has returned. There are no lingering restrictions or side effects that I am aware of. It gets better. Do the after care exercises there are some great channels online that can act as a guide such as this one. I made a plan for myself for the first 6 months and that really helped my recovery. Best wishes to you =)
Just had a lap Hysterectomy. I cannot do this. I cannot roll onto or lay on my side at all. No way.
Have you tried holding a cushion or pillow against your lower abs as you try to move for external support? This can help some women, all the best
Me too I had a total hysterectomy a week ago and I can't do that. I literally can't twist my arm for support. Too painful
Same here. I can only sleep on my back in a sitting up position with pillows all around me. It's been a 9 days since my surgery. I haven't left the house yet either.
Will you demonstrate how to move up in bed after surgery?
thanks
Thanks
I sleep like that
What should I do if i loss sleep after hysterectomy...i cannot sleep even for 1 min.
Can you speak with your doctor to help you - there can be a number of causes ... best to address the specific cause of your sleeplessness
@@michellephysio i think its because my uterus along with both fallopian tubes were removed and i can't have sleep even for 1 min. Can u please suggest me some healthy tips to have proper sleep. It will be very great for me. Thank you so much for your reply . I really respect you .
I had a total hysterectomy included both fallopian tube less than 2 weeks, drinking lot of water, eating plenty of protein, walking as much as possible and eat one banana before bed will help you sleep better. Good luck 🥰
@@small-frog6168 thank u so much sister. I will do the same as uou told.its already benn 1 month but i still can't sleep..i pray to god for your good fortune..really...
@@pratisthapandey8525 If you cannot even sleep for 1 minute and you were 4wpo at the time of your comment that would mean you'd spent 40,000+ minutes awake. If you have not died due to brain damage, you should contact the Guinness Book of World records as existing the record is 11 days. Congratulations on your achievement and I hope you got some rest and aren't dead.
Forget it I'm just gonna stay in bed no bathroom nothing ouch I'm scared
Oh i did shower the nxt day after my surgery ,thx God am relieved, am recovering so fast it's 3weeks yesterday
I tried this I think it will reopen easily not everyone weight is light like you
This did not work for me.
ComyaBee Me either. I have a completely different technique. But her other videos are very helpful.
I can't even turn on my sides!
Is not that easy at all, you don't have pain and obviously, it's easy for you.
Thanks for sharing anyway.
Same
This is so helpful thank you 🥹
@keyshia norman You're so welcome! So glad this helps ❤️
