Awful first night post-op
Had my laporascopic hysterectomy yesterday morning- uterus, tubes, and cervix removed but kept ovaries. The pain is much more severe than I expected. The doctor told me I would go home same day but I was in agony, showed in my vitals, and had to stay in hospital overnight and haven't been discharged yet. I was up every hour having to pee, pain meds wore off so fast so I was constantly calling nurses for help to bathroom, ice packs, pain meds etc. I'm just so confused as to why this is so painful because it was laporascopic, and they have me on dilaudid and oxycodone. Did my surgeon maybe downplay what recovery was like? I'm kinda feeling like I'm just weak compared to other women who have gone through this. :(
Anyone else experience something like this?
