To clarify, my surgeon said that I was a candidate for the robot, and we discussed all options. My surgery was scheduled for Dec and we decided to choose the appropriate procedure at my pre-op appt before the surgery.
Rewind to a few days ago….me feeling lightheaded and passing out. I had been bleeding pretty profusely for a couple of days (which was normal for me), but the dizziness was new. I went in for an exam and since I had seen her last, one of my fibroids had prolapsed and I was severely anemic. Hello blood transfusion and “emergency” surgery!!!
Had a vaginal hyst, with cervix and uterus both removed—no incisions, no robot!!! Procedure was “textbook” (her words). I was home less than 24 hours after the surgery and feel great. A little soreness, but otherwise doing really well!! Have been advised to do no vigorous activity for at least 4 weeks, maybe six. I think I will take advantage of the opportunity to just give myself some downtime, then hit it hard at the turn of the new year!!!
Again, my thanks for the info y’all have provided!!! It certainly made this process easier!!
