- recovery from diagnostic HYST

[Guest guest]

I've never had one so I'm not sure that I am the best

to respond to your questions about recovery. BUT, I

believe you said that this would be in the hospital

under general anesthetic right? Being under general

anesthetic can take a while to get over. It usually

knocks me out for a couple of days. I would have it

done on a Thursday or Friday and plan to " lay low " for

the rest of the weekend and possibly return to work on

Monday if you're feeling up to it.

Another quick comment - in my last message I talked

about having a diagnostic hysteroscopy and then being

referred to Dr. Vilos. I meant to add that that might

be necessary if it's the only way you can get a

referral to Dr. Vilos. BUT, there is definitely

something to be said for having a diagnostic HYST that

can be " converted " to an operative HYST if they see

some scarring. Otherwise, you have to go through

being under general anesthetic twice and have to have

your cervix dialted to insert the hysteroscope

twice...it's a lot of wear and tear on your body - and

it's more time. Perhaps you can go see Dr. Vilos for

your first hysteroscopy and then, depending on what he

sees, he can " convert " to an operative one if he needs

to so you only have to go through it once.

Just some thoughts.
