Seriously this. Try everything else first.



This is such a cruel and thoughtless post from someone without direct experience. Some of us didn't have an option and I'd rather be alive to see my kids grow up than die of something that could have been contained.

Like many of the PPs, I had this exact robotic procedure done in my early 40s because of high cancer risk. The evening and day after the procedure was really rough compared with past c-sections (and I'm in very good physical shape). My particular hospital stay was horrible (washington hospital center) because of incompetent nurses and numerous disruptions at night, but I wouldn't have been able to go home same day. Two full days after the surgery was much better. Plan to sleep and rest in bed for the first three days. After three days, I bounced back very quickly. You may wish to start on hormone replacement patches immediately following, but that's a personal call to make with your physicians.


I'm sorry, how on earth did you come to the conclusion that I have had no direct experience?


DP but you shared nothing but a comment designed to scare OP, with no additional details or nuance. OP obviously does not have an option so your post was unhelpful.
