I have had orthopedic surgery since being diagnosed. I took a lot of extra steroids around the surgery. Just make sure someone is paying attention to your steroids, and giving you stress dosing, and following you so you keep getting it while you need it and taper off it when you don't anymore. Last time I was in the hospital with severe infection and sepsis, the idiot doctors would not give me stress dosing and I had to take it on my own. Be proactive and make sure you get what you need. Then you'll be ok.

Vanyel's advice is on point as always. I have had a complete hysterectomy and did great...very fast recovery with only about three pain pills total. On the other hand, I had a rough time when I had a fatty tumor liposuctioned, a much less serious procedure. Unbeknownst to me, my sodium level must have bottomed out, because every time I stood I almost passed out.
When I was finally able to go the the doctor after being homebound for several months, he discovered that when I stood, my bp bottomed out. The cure...maddening simple....go home and drink a couple of cups of boullion, eat lots of salt, and double my prednisone for a couple of days. That did the trick. Sure wish I had realized it sooner.
Good luck. You should do fine.

Thank you both of you.My endo and gyn are working together to make sure all meds are regulated properly.My husband and mom will also be there to make double sure meds are given at times.

I don't ever let them give me the "happy" pre-surgery meds until I see them administer the pre-surgery steroids. After being assured in advance that everyone was aware of the process, no one knew what I was talking about during pre-surgery prep...TWICE! That is why I'll never let them do anything until I SEE the steroids going in.

I would find out about the tapper that your endocrinologist is going to do before surgery this way if the directions aren't given you know you know the plan.
If you are in the hospital record what times you get your medications and when they should be get them again. Going from pre op to surgery to post op sometimes medications get held up. That is also true for pain medications if it is almost time to get your pain medication and they are about to move you as for it before they move you. I have had to wait for a few hours when I went from surgery to floor because it was change of shift and then what was done down stairs didn't make it to up stair.
I recovered once quicker than what they thought I would with really great care at home. I have major sinus surgery. Another surgery the surgery site took a bit longer to completely heel.
