Default Have to have surgery

I'm a little over 2 years out from by-pass surgery, and have been having major "women" problems for the past year or more (ok men, you can stop reading now if you want to). I am scheduled for a hysterectomy next month. My GYN did say that he's seen alot of patients after WLS who have problems and have to go this route. Has anyone else had one post-surgery and how did you do? Is there anything extra or "special" that I need to do or know? He says I'll only be in the hospital 1 day, but I plan to take 6-7 weeks off work.

I don't know if I'm looking forward to being off work or not having pains more. I think it's a toss up.

Alt Weight Loss Surgery Insurance
Yes, you can often get insurance cover for your Weight Loss Surgery.
Our own Craig "Big-T" Thompson has been there and done that, and he's written an e-book about it.

If it's just hysterectomy, you probably won't need all the 6 weeks.
Now, if you ask nicely, your surgeon may take off some extra skin in the local area when closing up, though it's going to be done lap, that won't be possible.

Don't rain on my parade Doc, LOL. I want the full six weeks--the last 1-2 will be a vacation for me

I hadn't thought about the extra skin idea. Let me see what can be done.....

I had a hysterectomy 12? years before WLS surgery. I am just"chiming" in to tell you I have never regretted. I had "problems" my entire life. I was done with throwing up and passing out every month. I jokingly say "I would sell hysterectomies door to door". Take off all the time you can, but becareful not lift anything (groceries..) your muscles are cut or sore. Don't push a vacuum for a while either. You feel pretty good within 6 months, but in a year you are FANTASTIC,
