vestibulectomy

last minute pep talk please!

Aw thanks Alana! I really enjoy talking to you here.

Ok pep talk....You're going to do GREAT! I swear! You're going to walk in there, they'll put you in a gown and then you go to sleep. The anesthesia is awesome btw, best sleep of your life. It'll feel like you blinked and it'll be over.

I'm sorry I'm responding so late! I hope you see this before you go into surgery! I know you'll be fine! Try not to worry so much if you can. I don't know how I managed to not pass out before I went in...I'm always a panicky mess, haha. I'll be thinking of you tomorrow! If you can/ feel up to it tomorrow let me know how it went! I'll be anxious to check the forum!

Good Luck!!!!!

I saw it thank you so much I'll let you know!

Home!

Did you pee a lot after surgery

Did you pee a lot after surgery

How did it go ?? How are you feeling ?? And yes I did pee a lot after. I made the stupid decision to not go before surgery... Big mistake haha. I peed like 100 times haha.

He thinks he got all of it. I threw up after but it's more muscle pain and one stitch is mimicking vv which im not gonna lie id really annoying. Yeah I thought I had a uti because of how much im peeing but I guess it's normal. Originally it looked like I got shot but the blood is going away. Im able to sit pee and eat and walk by myself to ths potty so I guess im ok. It feels more like muscle pain than anything tho

See it wasn't so bad . I'm glad you're able to walk and sit and mostly feel comfortable. The stitches are so annoying but it'll get better. The more you soak them the fast they'll dissolve. They'll start to get itchy in a few weeks, which sucks. Your I've pack will be your best friend haha.

He doesn't want me soak for a bit. Probably not til my two week he just called me lol

Oh great! It's good that he keeps in contact with you.

Yeah it is. I ended Yup being allergic to drug but realized after I spoke with him thankfully dads a doc so he wrote me new. Then I thought I pulled a stitch out but I guess I didn't. Good news is the bleeding is already spotting but now instead of vulvodynia pain I have surgical pain n how long til it goes away? I'm scared to poop too Lol (I'm on softener but I threw up and it hurt so bad because of those muscles)

Im afraid to poo

Alana - if you can bear it drink lots of prune juice. That should help keep things running smoothly if you see what i mean!

Lol I def see what you mean! Im taking stool softeners but im still afraid lol did you get one too? Omg the painkillers are making me so loopy haha

No Alana i haven't had surgery (my vvd is more generalised so it wouldn't work for me) but i got very bunged up in the early days of my vvd when i was taking loads of painkillers.

Good luck with your recovery. Feeling loopy sounds fun?!

Loopy is terrible I can't do anything but lay in bed. But for now that's all I need I guess. Yeah im more afraid that it's gonna hurt I could go now but im scared to

Aw sorry hun - in that case loopy is NOT good. But laying in bed, although frustrating, probably is what your body needs right now. As for 'going' - might be better to go before it builds up even more? (the things we talk about here lol!)

Alana,

You should be good to go. Prune juice is so gross but I drank it after my surgery to help. I also ate prunes and took a fiber supplement. Don't be scared! It'll be just fine. Just try not to push too hard, haha. I hated those pills they made me so stupid. I only took them before bed for the first 2 days. That pain you're feeling should go away with in 2 to 3 weeks. It really depends on what toe of healer you are. Like I healed petty quickly. If you want to feel less loopy you could take naproxen or Advil. It's strong enough to help the pain if its just that muscle ache feeling.

Yeah I switched to Advil I think im gonna poo soon but im still scared. 2 to 3 weeks what the?! And I've been walking a bit it gets easier but damn this is uncomfortable lol

Like I said it just depends on what type of healer you are. It could be less than that. And good, you should go poo haha!

I still can't poo lmao ugh! I stopped taking pain killers tho

Aw , you will don't worry. The pain pills can constipate you.

Did u have pain that felt like vulvodynia pain at all Im flipping out because it started feeling like that again

Not really, but everyones healing experiences are different. I've read from other women that they had vuvlodynia like pain after surgery, but it went away. I'd say it's perfectly normal to still feel some of the pain. Don't stress about every pain. It's most likely going to go away within the next few weeks.
