Vsg after laparoscopic hysterectomy

[Jayhawkfan74 0]

I just had an laproscopic hysterectomy at the end of March. I have scheduled my vsg to be done end of May...too soon?

as long as your surgeon knows then it is fine. I had a hysterectomy last August and my sleeve in February, but the delay was due to something else. I know someone who is having both done at the same time.

I am not sure which surgery was my favorite, they are both life changing in so many positive ways!

I was also told during my hysterectomy that I had alot of scar tissue. Do you think that will jeopardize a successful vsg?

[Christinamo7 4,041]

I do not. because these things are in completely different areas. Because I have an ongoing lymph node issue in my abdomen my surgeon took a look at the lymph nodes and "vaginal stub" before he went on with the sleeve. maybe I had a slight amount more soreness from his look around, and it added a half hour or so to my surgery but was very worth the peace of mind because he felt everything looked great.

I wouldn't worry about it.

Thank you for the information.

I had a hysterectomy a few years ago. Zipper cut incision. When I had vsg surgery couple mths ago dr. Said she had to remove a lot of scar tissue while doing the surgery. I have had no complications but my surgery lasted about 3 hours because of this.
