I'm 25. I had a 10lbs tumor and left ovary and appendix taken out on 9/2 and had a total abdominal hysterectomy on 12/1. Anyone have any advice on what to expect. Ive been so emotional the past few days. Also i've heard about weight gain. Any tips/advice is appreciated.

    advice
    sorry to hear you have been through so much at such a young age. I would not worry about wt gain focus on getting stronger and keep a positive attitude. i hope your tumor was not ca, i would make sure you are moning your bowels daily and watch for incisional hernias. also follow-up visits with md. good luck on your journey and keep us posted.....val

    emotional
    Anyone would be emotional after two surgeries in a couple of months, even without the question of lack of hormones. I agree not to worry about any weight gain but to concentrate on recovery for the present.
