I had my robotic hysterectomy on Dec 30th, and spent one night in the hospital. I experienced not much pain, but plenty of discomfort especially the abdomen and lower back. The surgeon said it went very well and did not see anything new or alarming (not her exact words; I was groggy). I did not require any pain killers other than Tylenol every four hours. I started passing gas the day after surgery, and from then on it's been constant and noisy! I was surprised that they put me on a blood thinner (Eliquis) for two weeks to stave off clotting. I've really never had a problem with clotting, but they must have seen something in my pre-op blood tests that required them to prescribe it. I'm eating morsels, but not real meals. I have no problems peeing and have had two slightly uncomfortable but not strained BMs and only took Senna once, and showered multiple times. I am not having any noticeable discharge. I took one Oxy the night before last mainly to help me get some sleep but I don't think I'll need it again; it leaves me feeling foggy.

Now I'm starting my fourth post-op day, and I came down the stairs by myself, made my own breakfast, and cleaned up the kitchen a bit. I'm still pretty fatigued and need to rest frequently and wouldn't dare to lift anything heavier than a book. The five 'portholes' are still bandaged and starting to get itchy.
No additional information like the surgical report or final analysis has reached me, so I don't know what my Stage is yet or if I'll have to have any additional therapies. I have my post-op in about nine days, and I doubt I will hear anything before then.
