Septate Uterus Resection Recovery Time

[Guest guest]

Hi Ladies,

I'm new here. I was diagnosed with a septate uterus back in January and had

surgery scheduled for May 14th but due to a shortage of nurses in the OR it was

cancelled and I found out yesterday it is rescheduled for June 25th. I was happy

it wasn't much longer of a wait.

I am also having a lap at the same time to make sure there are no other

problems. My question is what is the recovery time for all this surgery? My DH

and I have rented a cottage with BIL and SIL for a week starting the day after

surgery. I've told DH that I don't think I can go the day after but hopefully

will feel well enough to go 2 days later. It might be good to be on vacation so

I can rest and relax, just feel bad I won't be of much help to SIL in the

cooking and cleaning department! Also DH won't be able to be with me during the

surgery, it just happens that it falls when it's the busiest time of his project

at work My Mom can be with me though, but DH feels awful and wants me to

change the date. It's not that easy, surgery time is very limited at my

hospital, it's not like changing a doc appointment.

Sorry I've been so long winded, any advice on recovery time would be greatly

appreciated!!!

Thanks so much, I look forward to learning lots from all you ladies!!

Kirsten,

I would ask your doctor about when you can go, but my experience was

such a breeze. The day of the surgery was a little tough because of

the gas. I highly suggest buying gas ex for that day. I had no

other pain and never needed any pain medication. I am not saying you

won't be sore, but I am sure if it's ok your with doctor and you are

up to it you could leave the next day. Loose pants will be much

needed but otherwise it's not that bad. I think you'll have to see

how you feel the next day.

Good Luck,

Joann

Personally, I would have felt fine enough to travel the day after

surgery. General anesthesia did not make me sick and the worst pain

I had was a sore tummy (as if I had done sit-ups) and some cramping.

Bleeding was light.

Definitely day three following surgery, if you are like everyone

else, you will be up to enjoying yourself and helping SIL in the

kitchen. The only thing that would not be a part of your vacation

would be doing the wild thang with your DH. But who wants to do that

when BIL and SIL are sharing the cottage anyhow ;-)

Good luck with all!

Hi -

I think that everyone is different and perhaps recovery time is

related to the size of your septum. Personally, I didn't feel all

that bad. I did get sick (nauseated) after the anesthetic, and I did

have bad gas pains for like 2 days. On the 3rd day, that was pretty

much gone. My belly button was slightly sore, but nothing major. I

had light spotting for 5 days (very minimal) and some cramping

because an IUD was inserted to prevent scarring.

I was really tired...that was the most significant result of the

surgery. I think if you're careful and resting as much as you need,

you should be fine. Sitting upright is probably the most comfortable

b/c of the gas (it shoots up into your shoulders when you lie down).

Hope this helps,

Grazia

The surgery is a breeze. I had just the hyst for a septum and it was out

patient. I slept the whole day of surgery after I came home and actully felt

very rested the next day. There was very little pain nothing that advil

can't cure. I had some light bleeding for 5 days or so and that was that. I

would think as long as you are packed and not driving you should be able to

go and have fun. Just don't expect to swim because you have to use pads not

tampons. - Liz
