I have to undergo an open surgery due to fibrhoids in 10 days.It is through open surgery and not a laprascopy.I want to share after effects of hysteractomy as I have a fear of gaining weight and other problems after the surgery.Any one can share their opinions here please?

So you have to undergo that procedure? I have 2 friends who have undergone that procedure already due to same problem as yours...fibroids. They have so far been doing good. I hope you pass through the surgery well and good my friend. I will pray for you. God bless!

My hysterectomy was due to cancer, so I was very anxious to have it done. The only difficulty I can recall (it was back in the 80s) was when I had to go to the bathroom. That was really painful for a few days. Other than that, I found that if I walked a lot, almost all the pain went away. Abdominal surgery makes the body form a lot of gasses, and walking breaks that up, so it's a great relief. I'll be praying for it to go well and heal quickly. Good luck!

I had a hysterectomy when I was 27 and I am 59 now. The operation is a lot better to have now and I got over it quite quickly. You will have to take it easy for a qhile and not do any heavy lifting but you will feel much better after having it. I know I did. Please do not worry too much about having the operation it was the best thing I had done.
