My Hysterectomy Changed EVERYTHING! Here's My One Year Post-Op Update

My friend pls go do research on taking statins. They are not good for women. Cholesterol is not the enemy. We need it. Pls pls go out and do research on cholesterol. Many good doctors out there on the subject. Most are against women taking statins. I say this in love.

I had a hysterectomy about 15 years ago and kept my ovaries. I had a fibroid which was casing heavy blood loss and pain. It felt like the best thing ever to not have that problem every month. I’m 73 now

Hi Renee. I had a " forced " hysterectomy at 45 yeaes old, I'm 72 now. At 45, I started spit bleeding between periods. Had a uterine biopsy and it cane back as cells showing atipia, which are definitely precancerous cells. I could have wound up with full blown cancer at anytime 1 year or 20 years from then. So my wonderful Ob-Gyn did a lapriscopic hysterectomy at 45 years old. I never had to go thru menopause thank God. Right after leaving hospital I went on a low dose of estrogen. Stayed on it for a few years then my primary doc took me off. I've done completely fine ever since never any menopause symtoms. I DO NOT have MUCH SEXUAL DRIVE though. I did lose my husband 13 year's ago, so who cares. Haven't dated or had intimacy with anyone. If I get the urge or some drive lol, I just get out my MR. ELECTRIC haha😅😂

I had a hysterectomy 27 years ago at age 29 and it is definitely a game changer!!! 🎉

Greetings Renee! I had my hysterectomy when I was 47 and it's been 20 years now. It really is a relief not to have all those issues from the extreme bleeding, etc. anymore. Congratulations on making it through the journey so far! Love and blessings ♥️🙏

Prior to deciding to have my own hysterectomy, I started searching for hysterectomy stories here on YouTube. Especially after I tried an ablation and it failed. That's how I found you and your wonderful channel!! I was also afraid that a hysterectomy would hinder intimacy, but it did the complete opposite. It is sooooo much better, especially as I don't have to plan around a very heavy and intense period any longer. I chose to have everything removed except my ovaries, and I'm very happy with the outcome. Mine was also a robotic surgery with 5 tiny incisions. Best decision I ever made!!!

Really glad to hear you're doing so well😊

It’s hard to believe it’s been a year. I’m on HRT with estrogen patches, progesterone at night 200 mg and testosterone. ❤

I want to thank you so much for posting your experience. I found your video by chance 3 weeks ago after being sent home from the hospital after a total hysterectomy and bowel resection all done robotically the same way your surgery was done. I was not given any information for after care, post op info, nothing. So grateful that I found your videos when I did! You eased my mind by sharing your experience and the info you got from your doctor. You should get an award for the films you shared.

Now that summer is right around the corner, I thank you for the suggestion of the waterproof patch! They’re in my cart ❤

How kind of you to update! Thank you1

Thanks so much for the update, I had my own radical hysterectomy three months after yours for very similar reasons.... your videos truly helped me so much in keeping a positive outlook. Ditto loving not having a period ever again and woohoo for bladder control. ;)

So informative, Renee, and it wasn't a long video. It flew by because all of the subjects were pertinent and important. Thank you so much for this. I went into chemically induced menopause during and after my chemotherapy for breast cancer years ago when i was 40 but it seems more so that now while at the age of a more common age of natural menopause (i know that some go thru it earlier than later), I experienced the high cholesterol issue when diet wasn't a contributing factor, nor exercise. I too went on a very low dose of a statin, reluctantly, and it also reduced my levels to normal. Seeing your video made me feel better about some things that were happening. Thank you for your videos.

Thanks so much for this update video. I went through menopause naturally, so it doesn't really impact me personally, but it is good to know and share with friends and family of the female persuasion. I referred a friend facing a hysterectomy to your videos and they really helped her a lot.

Your channel continues to be inspiring! You are a must-watch for me. Thanks so much for sharing your journey! (BTW...cute sweater set!!!)

Thanks Renee, very important to talk about these things. I've suffered my whole adult life with Endometriosis, got help many years ago and have been fine. Not had a pariod since I was in my early thirties, I'm now 53. Went off the meds 6 months ago and no Manepaus symptoms 😊 well not yet, let's hope it stays that way! Great video, thank you for sharing. Have a great weekend! 🌞🐾🦴💛

My Dear Renee, You are truly a blessing to U-Tube.. You did such a wonderful job discussing this personal and very important subject. Renee, It was so eloquently and most of all accurately demonstrated. Thank You....🌻

Can't wait to watch this! On Tuesday I'll be 6 months post hysterectomy.

I found you through your hysterectomy videos. I had mine last year at 48 and followed a lot of your advice for post-care! I feel great since mine too and had no issues. Thank you!

I found you during my research for my exact same procedure for the same reason - also started growing out my gray hair at the same time! I’m six months behind you but soooo appreciate feeling less alone and scared because of your videos❤ Thanks girl ❤
