Because of my PCOS and endometriosis, I suffer from chronic pain and anemia which has led to significant weight gain (more than 60 lbs, 20 of it in the last 3 months). Now I’m going for a full hysterectomy in April and beginning hrt shortly afterward. I would appreciate any advice and/personal experiences. Thank you!

Had uterus, tubes, and cervix removed last Tuesday. Bowel movements are very uncomfortable and the gas hurts like hell when it comes out. I am still eating a soft diet and taking stool softeners

I had my surgery early morning yesterday, and has not been able to eat since coming back. The vomiting stopped after a few hours with the help of zofran, but I’m still feeling nauseated 30+ hours after discharged from surgery center. I’ve urinated and passed gas. Just feel really bloated, nauseous, and tired with sharp pain around my belly button and a slight fever. Is this normal after lap? How long does it take to feel better enough to resume normal diet after laparoscopy?

Last time the gas build up was awful and trying to get up and down was too. But if you have anything or item that helped you let me know so i can add to my list to get!

I had an partial hysterectomy on 2-2 this year( I still have my ovarys and they removed endometrial tissue) but I took off my hormonal patch last week and now I have my ‘menstruation’ well it still hurts in my belly and the area around my anus. Even tho they told me they removed all the endometrial tissue successfully I don’t really believe it. I also have a menstrual migraine. Any tips? Specially for the migraine that makes everything a lot worse😅. And what was your experience after surgery and… read more

Sorry for yet another question but has anyone else experienced spasms after laroscopy. Sometimes involuntary gasps, kinda like eith thr hiccups but it happens just once before it's gone. Sometimes I feel it before it happens but I cant stop it. It started right after my surgery

Can anyone tell me what to expect after my first laparoscopy? Pain, bleeding? What’s the recovery time? The normal time to go back to work? Will sex be painful? I’m on constant birth control so I’m not sure how that will work post op, if my dr will keep me on it or make me get my cycle...also I have breakthrough bleeding now for almost a week and my surgery is in two days...can I wear a tampon for the surgery? I’m so overwhelmed this is my first surgery and it’s coming up quick! Any tips??

My digestive issues are currently under control. And I hope they stay that way, but I’m curious if anyone has experience with this device?

It tracks both SIBO and other food intolerances.

I have my first excision surgery one week from today! I was wondering what your essential recovery items were? I ordered a pregnancy pillow to help with sleeping and some loose nightgowns to wear the first few days. Anything else that really helped you feel better? Any particular snacks that helped? Thank you!

I was wondering when I will be able to get up? I have a old dog who needs to get out early and a couple of times
