Question:
I had a full hysterectomy - 1/95. Are there any concerns that I should not have RNY?

I had a radical hysterectomy in 1/96 due to cancer and I came through my surgery on 5/11/99 with flying colors. You should check with your doctor first, but my doctor didn't have a problem with it.

Him I had a partial hysterectomy in 1985 (with open abdominal incision) and had laparoscopic Roux en Y Gastric Bypass last year. The doctors can be more hesitant to perform the surgery via lap if you have had previous abdominal surgeries. The biggest risk is running into adhesions or scar tissue.

I had my hysterectomy in 1982, and I had no problems. My doctor had no concerns. So I would say that there should be no problem. Good luck.

I had a full hystie 1981. Distal gastric bypass (Tacoma, WA) 1994. The only difference is that when my husband catches me, I'm thoroughly SAFE! Of course, now that I CAN run, I don't! I'm quite fond of him.
