Got a hysterectomy 🥳🥳🥳
I (21M) got a total hysterectomy yesterday!! I decided to go through with it at the beginning of the year after experiencing DAILY cramping with my nexplanon implant. I didn’t want to trade it out for something that goes ‘up there’ because I’ve heard of the horror stories.
My experience was amazing. I went to a local obgyn that my mom knew and they were super supportive. I didn’t need any mental health letters for my insurance or from the obgyn, so all they needed to do was schedule the surgery.
The surgery was ≈$23k and my insurance covered about $20k. It was $3k out of pocket and I am very grateful as my parents paid it for me. They have also been super supportive in my transition.
I was really nervous before the surgery but they put something in my IV to help with the anxiety and DAMN IT HELPED.
Immediately after surgery I’d say my pain was an 8/10, but felt the same as my birth control cramps, just more swollen. They were very helpful with all my questions and I was really happy to have an all female team helping me so they would better understand the pain and whatnot.
