Operation getting nearer!
Posted , 2 users are following.
My operation for removal of ovaries and tubes is on the 28th May. Had my assessment today. Been told I will have to stay in overnight as I'm having them removed by keyhole surgery (hopefully). Also been told il have to have a catheter which to be honest has really put me into panic mode now. Worried about anaesthetic, catheter, recovery and what if they decide they can't do it by keyhole? How sore are you after? How long before you felt ok again? I'd be very grateful ladies for any reassurance. Also - really dumb question I know,but when I leave hospital the next day, will I get into my jeans or would you advise to wear something else?

I had a hysterectomy 2 years ago by keyhole, I too was afraid just like you, I can tell you I was amazed at how I felt afterwards, the cathader does not hurt 2 bit, and I would say after 2 weeks I was well on to recovery, I advise to wear jog bottoms as ur tummy takes a week or so to get Bak to normal as they put air into ur abdomen, hope that helps and good luck x

That's quite all right, it's always good to hear from people who have gone through the same thing, I am the worst when it comes to worryin and pain,so I'm sure you will be fine.
