Sling & Hysterectomy for Endometriosis – Patient Experience

A recent patient took a moment to speak to us about her experience at the clinic.

Here’s a transcript of our conversation:

Marcie:
Hi there. This is Marcie. I’m a medical assistant here at Austin Urogynecology and we have one of our patients here who had a sling and a hysterectomy for endometriosis. How has your experience been with Austin Urogynecology?

Patient:
It’s been awesome. The staff is super friendly, super knowledgeable, pretty much got me in right away, got me scheduled quickly, and did an awesome job on my surgery. Got all my medications and stuff prior to the surgery so I was prepared whenever I went home. Everything’s been great.

Marcie:
Awesome. How has the post operative period been? How have you been feeling? You’re six weeks post-op now. Was it what you expected?

Patient:
Yes. The first week, I would say it was a little bit rough. You’re going to need the pain medicine for the whole week … hold on … but after that, pain free, back to normal activities. I take care of a three-year-old on my own and did that like three days post-op. I’ve jumped on a trampoline recently and I’m only six weeks and I didn’t pee so …

Marcie:
Yay!

Patient:
Everything is good. I’m impressed with the way that my scars are looking and I’m happy with everything.

Marcie:
Great. Well, thank you.

Patient:
Thank you.
