- This multi-step process takes up to 24 hours from review submission to publication.
- Doctors can't pay to have reviews removed or hidden.
- Reviews are only removed at the reviewer's request or if they violate our Terms of Service.

LSH/My Hysterectomy didn't go as planned
I received 07/13 sx date from Robles. My PCP refused to clear me for sx, sd I need 2 do hysterectomy 1st. I agreed and it was done 07/13. Yeah my p/s date.
I got really sick went to ER & had emergency sx. My colon was perforated, I got a very bad infection & my top layer of ab muscle & fat had to be debrided. I was told if I had waited any longer...I'm THANKFUL 2B here! I called my GYN's ofc 3dys after returning home & explained the pain, bruising, heat surrounding my wound & that I still hadnt had a BM 2 her nurse. She sd since no fever it sound like gas and to get miralax & gas x. To watch for fever n go to any Er if I got 1. I went 2 closest ER the following day, they ran plenty test gave me a script for 10 norco n told me to f/u with gyn n a few days cause there was nothing he could do for me. I was worse the next morn, went back to ER where I had LSH they performed emergency sx. I've been thru HELL this past month! I now have a HUGE gaping hole from navel to flank on 1 side, another 3" above BB to top of pubic area & an ostomy. I was on a wound vac 3wks. My surgeon finally took me off as it was pure torture. The wounds were closing well at 1st, then center wound reopened & got wider. Dr sd it was negative pressure from vac. So now I'm responsible for cleaning &dressing these huge wounds which terrifies me. I'm glad to be alive & home. I know I have a long recovery ahead of me. I'm in pain every day but I do exactly what these doc's & nurses tell me. I also know I will need my TT now as I'm so disfigured. It looks like a huge chunk of my gut was cut out. I asked a question about this is the Dr's forum & was told to wait a year after I completely heal.
I finally got the strength to update as I've been weak, in pain and depressed.
PLEASE ladies...pay attention to your body when healing. I never got a fever & I listened 2 my doc nurse even tho I felt something wasn't right. Then 2 be turned away from the hospital SMH. I KNOW someone is praying for & watching over me

Changed Mind
Hey Ladies, yeah I changed my mind again. Suppose to go 02/19th for partial. I canceled today. I don't know why it's so hard to part with my uterus. IDK, maybe because that's where I created my children, or I'm afraid I might get put into meno & I'm not ready for that yet. My biggest reluctance is I've heard too much of the bad and I'm afraid of the dryness side effect. Either way I'm going to try these castor oil packs & keep using these detox tampons.
Laura sd the partial won't effect my TT. Oh well I'll know on my next yearly if my fibroids have shrunk or not...Back to cosmetic focus.

Her: "you're no longer anemic"
Me: "YEESSSSSSSSSS! What's my count?"
Her: 13
So...I've thought about it and I'm going to go through with the laparoscopic supracervical hysterectomy bka 'partial'. I'm keeping my ovaries & cervix. I had a long discussion with her, I've slept on it and decided this will be the best choice for me. I've weighed the pros & cons, + this procedure has the quickest recovery & it's considered an outpatient procedure w/a 24hr observation.
I just started my vitamin regimen but will have to postpone 2wks b4 surgery. I'm not worried though cause she said all my vitals are great. So I'll resume after my 3week check up with her.
I know this is not a cosmetic procedure but I'll still update about it because someone may be struggling with this decision or experiencing some type of feminine issues like myself.
Surgery is next month and I've already started my prep for it. Lol just me
