i posted a previous question but got no replies.....had anyone had an abdominal (open) Hysterectomy and was awake with mild sedation? I have to have one soon and i am really worried about it. I dont want to be put to sleep anyone at all have any experiences or know anything about it i would appreciate a reply
Well that sounds a bit discourging....did you have surgery or are u going to have it? couldnt really tell by the post. I am sorry you had to wear a pee bag? I havent really heard anyone complain about anything like that so i wasnt really worried about that part of it. But thanks for letting me know it can happen. I sort of have no choice but to have my surgery so i will pray that i dont have any prolonged problems.....
I never had to wear a "pee bag" and all of my pain is gone. I am 3 weeks post op with no pain whatsoever. Did you already have the surgery or are going to have the surgery? The date you posted was 11/8/08 which would make it next November?
hi i to had a complete hysterectomy in 11/8/08 i still have trouble they dont tell u about the pain you have but everybody different i have to wear a pee bag on my side for a long time the told me it would be for a couple of days that didnt happen good luck

I had my pre-op yesterday for a complete abdominal hysterectomy on Wed. 2/27/08. To my shock the anesthesiogist recommended a regional (epidural) instead of general. He said that is the preference at his hospital. He promises I will be calm and sedated, but responsive. He also promises I will have no pain post-op due to the spinal. So, all in all, I am happy to be going this way. I'm a bit nervous to be awake, but thrilled that my pain will be managed right after surgery. I know the pain will come as it wears off, but they can keep the epidural in for 24 hours, so that should help also. Roshelle, I will post again after my surgery to let you know how I did. Please everyone, keep me in your thoughts (and prayers). thanks.
I guess it depends on the surgeon. Mine absolutely said no.
