Thanks in advacne. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DaisyAmy 561 Posted December 4, 2015 I had to pause my sleeve surgery to have a total hysterectomy for uterine cancer. I actually lost about 10 pounds after bc I was just not hungry. Plateaued for a little, then started heading slowly down again (I'm still pre sleeve). Best of luck to you. Have you checked out hystersisters? Great forum!

vsghyster 2 Posted December 5, 2015 Thank you Daisy Amy, I shall check it out. If you don't mind me asking did you have any complications after the hysterectomy? How soon after the surgery were you able to exercise? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DaisyAmy 561 Posted December 5, 2015 I actually ended up with some nerve damage in my legs after. I was on the table for about 5 hours (much longer than normal) and the way they sort of hang you upside down for the robotic assisted surgery stretched my nerves. So, I was in PT for a while after. Most people can get to walking pretty quickly after, but you are restricted to only lifting a milk jug for about 6 weeks or so. I developed a fever between week 1 and 2 and felt pretty bad. Some antibiotics and I was fine after. Other than that, it's pretty typical recovery. Very wiped out. I'd say I started to feel like myself at about three weeks out. Now, I am just thrilled to be considered "no further treatment" and am not missing my monthly visitor one bit!! The hot flashes kind of suck, though. ???? I really do encourage you to check out that other forum. It was a godsend for me (same name there). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
vsghyster 2 Posted December 5, 2015 Congratulations Daisy Amy on the all clear. Sounds like you have been through the mill in the first couple of weeks, but I am glad the rest of your recovery has been smooth. I had a look at the hyster sisters website. I found it quite informative and I shall register.Thanks once again. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DaisyAmy 561 Posted December 5, 2015 (edited) A little, but mine was out of the norm, and really, I didn't care what the recovery was like as long as they got it all!!! I'm sure you'll have a much easier go of it. Glad you're going to join! I still check in from time to time there.
