I am so glad I got my hysterectomy. I had fibroids that were so large I looked slightly pregnant. I did a partial so I still have the cervix and ovaries. I was my doctors last surgery before she retired. I was 46 at the time and this was my first invasive surgery so I was scared as hell but the team I had was amazing. The last thing I remember was looking at the lights on the ceiling when they wheeled me into the surgery room and next thing I knew I was waking up in the recovery room. I was there two days. Recovery wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. Wearing a belly binder really helped and walking down the stairs backwards helped during those first couple of weeks. I actually felt almost back to normal after 3wks. No more periods. It didn't change my sex life. It actually improved it because I didn't have to worry about my period coming on whenever it wanted. I had ridicoulsly heavy periods and I was anemic due to the heavy bleeding. I had to wear overnight pads and super abosorbant tampons that I had to change every 4 hrs. It was like a crime scene honey. It was crazy. I'm no longer anemic and no more ruined vacations hoping my period won't come on. I love the freedom that not having a period brings.

I am happy I had my hysterectomy. No more children, excruciating pain, and cycles.

It was a real blessing to come across this vlog, my wife just found out she had fibroids a week ago, and currently discussing with doctors on the next step. If you haven’t already, I’d love to hear from Stanley on how to support your spouse/significant other during this process. Thanks, and blessings

OMG!!!! THIS IS ME WITH THE IRON. I lose so much blood that I had to go to the hospital and have a transfusion. I passed out in a store with my husband which scared 😨 so bad, the ambulance had to come to the store where we were. My cycles were HEAVY HEAVY

I'm so glad, I came across this video since I just had my hysterectomy 3 days ago. This info was great and going to check out your other video. Thanks!

Another awesome video. It’s now 12.15am here in the UK and I’m still watching your videos, binge watching 😄 thank you once again. ❤

Came over from the Cruising videos. Thank you for your candor, so many ladies go through this procedure without the Sister or Sista Talk. Its really needed. I got a partial 12 years ago (They left my ovaries and cervix in). Then I had one ovary removed six years ago due to tortion. Your insomnia was probably lock-down related. I had it at the beginning of the pandemic as well. Thank you again! God bless you and your Hubby. ♥

This has been very helpful for me. I'm 7 weeks post OP. Had a TAH and you provided answers to all the questions in my head, especially regarding the high stomach. After listening to you I feel awesome and I'm confident that I'm going to be just fine. Thank you❤

I had my partial hysterectomy in 2017. I am 53 years old now . My recovery took 8 weeks. I had pain every day . But when I finally healed it has been good. I still have my sex drive and enjoy is better now. No regrets

Hey Sis. My one year total abdominal hysterectomy anniversary was September 21. I had no bleeding post op. I feel great kept the ovaries so hormones are still intact. I had about four months of insomnia post op. My quality of life is greatly improved. Thank you for helping me prepare for my surgery with all the information you shared.

I initially was watching your Cruise information videos when I heard you say that you didn't have kids and you no longer had the equipment. So, I first subscribed to your channel then I looked at you list of vlogs and found your hysterectomy journey videos. I had mine back in 2016 and everything you experienced, I did too. So happy that you made these to help others. I had a full hysterectomy but my doctor left my ovaries because she said, "You have ovaries of a teenager. They are beautiful". 😂. I had the same bladder issues and I was so happy when that cleared up. I also have a high pain tolerance and only needed the Motrin. Funny thing was when I woke up from surgery and the medicine pump they put in my hand, I though it was to call the nurse if I needed her. I never used the pump. My pain level did go up the second day and they gave me Norco but that was the only time I used it but I felt the Motrin worked better. I was sent home with a prescription for Norco and Ibuprofen but I only used the ibuprofen. I send the Norco back to the pharmacy. Again, Thanks for these vlogs.

Congrats on hitting the 1 year mark Lynette! Thanks for continuing to share your journey! You look beautiful and them locs are flourishing daaaaaarling!

Thank you so much for sharing your journey with us. It has helped me prepare for questions for the Dr. I am set for my laproscopic procedure on 6-20-23. I had part of my pre-op today and durring the internal ultrasound they found a large fibroid, that maybe my culprit. Never heard that word directed towards me before. Again I thank you for sharing❤❤

Girl, I could literally hug you. 😭

I related to a lot of what you’ve experienced especially with the hollow tunnel and getting to the destination and not realizing when you arrived, lol. I am 8 months post-op today. My fibroids weren’t that big when they went in. Not only did I have fibroids I had endometriosis and that’s why my periods were so painful. I feel so much freedom now and my mind is so much at ease knowing that I don’t have to stay in the house my first two days of my cycle and I don’t have to go through that pain anymore. Thank you for sharing your experience with us. It helped out more then you know.

Thanks for this video Lynette. Your vlogs through your surgery helped me so much. I am 4 months post op and doing very well. I did not have fibroids but did have the heavy break through bleeding (so I can totally relate to what you were saying). It turned out I actually had cervical cancer and by the grace of God it was contained inside my uterus and they were able to remove it all. I had a laproscopic total hysterectomy (my cervix, ovaries and tubes, and lymph nodes were removed as well). So far I am doing pretty good but I do think I have some minor sleep changes that I didn't even realize until your video. I also went through an emotional period right after surgery where I felt like I was damaged. I have since gotten past that and I am now enjoying life without "aunt flo". It's crazy though because I find myself still carrying pads for protection, my head hasn't quite caught up yet, but I will get there☺️. Thanks again for being so transparent and facilitating a dialogue, it has really been helpful for me. By the way, you look great and I love your hair.

Wild! I've been watching your cruise videos for about a year now and never ran across your Hysterectomy vids until the other day. I am 7days post op from a total hysterectomy (ovaries left intact) and I feel great so far! Your vids have been extremely insightful and informative! I thank you for having this conversation. Love, Peace and Blessings 💜

Hey I usually watch your cruising videos and I came across your hysterectomy videos I just had one yesterday because I had uterine cancer I’m 34 your videos helped me a lot I’m in a lot of pain but it was the best decision I waited a year and a half just couldn’t take the pain anymore but god bless you, you helped a lot of women going through the same thing ❤️💪🏽

Thank you sooooo much hun for this video. Look into D-Mannose as well for UTI’s. It’s all natural. I take a tsp in water every day. Love the shirt!

Hey Lynnette….thank you for this update….I am a few days past a year since my total hysterectomy (my ovaries were taken as well) and I didn’t really know what to expect after having the surgery. While I feel relieved to have the fibroids gone and that pain is over, I did not anticipate the emotions of feeling empty, so I am so grateful for you sharing your journey. I am taking it day by day. Thank you again! Blessings to you and Stanley.

Omg I found y’all about a cruise and came across this I have a fibroid and thinking about getting this surgery thank you for sharing

It will be my second week coming this Thursday. I'm glad I came across this vlog

I also had a hysterectomy with removal of my left ovary in 4/2018 I had a mask & cystic on my Lt ovary, with would irruption sometimes with ER visit every-time. Thank God it was benign. Also my uterus had the reverse form of endometriosis / fibroids were growing inside the uterus. Prayers. I have no extra bleeding or spotting after the surgery 4 years later. The right ovary still releases hormones which keeps me from going into menopause. Age 47. When I first found out I had a little meltdown after that I was OK because I knew it had to be done. I’m blessed I have 2 children 26 girl and 23 boy 🙏🏽🤗

I just love you guys, you always make my day. Thank you Lynette for all you have done for women afraid of H surgery. I was more afraid before, better after. I cried to my HR manager and she said "Don't cry Brigitte. just think no more periods." I felt better.

Just stopped by to show some love so grateful for you sharing your hysterectomy journey I finally did my laparoscopic hysterectomy I’m 3 weeks out and still in shock to having it done. My emotions are all over the place I’m so happy and just taking my journey dat by day💕

Thank you so much for your vlogs! YOU helped prepare my anxiety prior to my laparoscopic hysterectomy, not the doctors or any one else. Idk what is was about your video that made the difference, but I am so thankful it did. I am on day 11 post-op. Very little pain so far. Never had the gas pains in shoulder and was more worried about that more than anything. I bought everything you suggested on the pre-op video as well. I have yet to feel the exhaustion everyone warned me about as well. I feel great! Like maybe too great because I also am starting to have the insomnia. Hopefully that will calm down soon. My energy is better than it’s been in years. Who knew an angry uterus was to blame all these years?! Thanks again! You give me hope for when I am able to be intimate again with my husband as well

Thank you so much for this video! It’s been six months since my full hysterectomy and I can relate to so much of what you discussed. Having fibroids on the uterus was awful and bleeding all the time is not anything I’d wish on anyone. Thank you again for being open about this. You helped me get through the surgery and I’m glad I can follow your journey. ❤️

This was such comprehensive and well done. I appreciate the level to which you shared. Continued good health!!!

OMG!!! You have calmed my anxiety level from a 10 to a 2. I have watched soooooo many diff videos in this and yours is tue best so far!!! I have my surgery in a few months and this would have been my 2nd time cancelling it out of fear for pain, keloids(I keloid easily and they are painful) and me not feeling normal anymore. God bless you and thank you again!

Lynette watching your journey was probably 75% of the reason why I went through with getting my hysterectomy as well. Since 2015 I had been diagnosed with a large fibroid. I had never had any of the typical fibroid symptoms. I had normal periods lasting about 4-5 days and heavy bleeding was every now and then. But what I did have was the urine frequency, distended stomach, pain, and pressure feeling like something was sitting in my canal. It was so bad closer to my surgery I could not lay on my stomach because it was so painful. Doing squats, sit-ups, or any exercise for that matter was a struggle with the pain and pressure I felt from this large mass. I wasn’t ready to have the hysterectomy because I did want kids but being 43 not married my time clock was getting shorter and shorter by the day. Then when the doctor had concerns about organ crowding and my kidneys being affected I had to weigh everything. So after watching your transparent journey I said ok you need to do this as this fibroid is going to get bigger and bigger. I had my surgery Dec 2020 laparoscopic removal. My fibroid was also 5 pounds it had also stretched my uterus to 17x the size it should have been. I’m so glad I did because I feel so much better. I’m also struggling to lose the weight but not having the pain and the discomfort is the trade off I’ll take any day. So thank you for sharing your journey and your encouragement because it really helped me to commit to getting mine done.

Ayyyeee so glad you are better. This story gone help some people.

Thank you for doing these videos. I'm 36, never wanted kids but have had heavy bleeding and fibroid problems for the past year. Scheduled to get a total hysterectomy by end of the year. This makes me feel a lot better knowing what to expect. Thank you.

Lynette, thank you so much for your candid videos. I watch your vlogs before my surgery. They were so helpful and really informative. My story is/was similar to yours into why at 47 I had to have a total laparoscopic hysterectomy. I'm now at 4 weeks and 3 days out from my surgery on 2/4/22, and I'm feeling pretty good. my incisions are sore/ tender and I too had to have am incision to take my uterus out because it was too big. It weighed over a pound. They said it was the size of being 3 months pregnant. Whew! I do get tired quicker but I'm feeling better everyday. My body tells me when I'm doing to much and need to rest. I have to constantly change from sitting, standing, laying down too. The insomnia I had was from the strong pain med they had me on., tramadol. I was chatterbox the day of my surgery and 2 days after that. I would sleep in cat naps, Thankfully I was able to manage the pain with Tylenol and ibuprophen, and didn't use the tramadol after that. Again I just want to tell you how much I appreciated watching your vlogs and am glad I had a good resource to have going into this. God bless. Thank you! Susan

Thank you so much for talking about taking iron afterwards. I am on iron daily and have the heavy bleeding. And the having to go to the bathroom a lot. Ughh.. I am planning to have surgery in the next few months and your first video is one of the ones I have saved to ready myself. I think yours was the most complete as to the day to day and that made my decision less stressful. Again, thank you for the transparency.

I've watched all your videos and they have been EXTREMELY HELPFUL. My surgery is in about a week, I'm feel more prepared and am currently ordering some things off your site. Can I tell you nobody else is as honest, real and transparent as YOU. Thank you so much and God bless you

Thank you for your videos & your candor! I've been doing my research, since I'm having a hysterectomy very soon. I've never been diagnosed with fibroids bit I have endometriosis & I do have that heavy uterus feeling, if that makes sense; and the crazy part is I had a surgery about 5 years ago to lift my uterus & put it back into place, but its time to just evict it all together. Thank you again for your videos & sharing your journey.

So grateful for this video 🙏

Thank you for your video. Your videos on this subject were a life send this year. I had a hysterectomy in August due to hyperplasia, fibroids, and cysts. Despite the heavy hemorrhaging and a rapidly growing uterus, the first doctor refused to the surgery. Several months later, I found a doctor who would do the surgery and a month later I had the surgery. It was determined that the growth of the fibroids and my uterus resulted in my ureters were almost blocked therefore my kidneys were not fully emptying into my bladder. I am still anemic and fatigued, but I am so happy not to have the hemorrhaging. I have noticed that the weight loss has stopped. I agree that the bladder issues. I didn't have to go to the bathroom as much as I had previously. Love and blessings to you from South Dakota.

Thank you so much for sharing your experience. This is helpful for so many women. Blessings to you and your hubby ❤️❤️

I love the transparency. Lynette! Thank you, for taking us on this journey with you and keeping us up to date. Thank God, you are doing well. Blessings, family 🙏💜

This vlog is so helpful …. Thank you 😊

Thank you, Lynette, for sharing. So many women, especially black women suffer from fibroids problems. As someone who myself suffering from fibroids which has lead to infertility this topic is so needed to be discussed more openly. Again, thank you 😊

I’m so thankful that I ran across your channel for preparation. It was a breeze. I’m 43 as well and had the same issues as you… in fact, I had a hemoglobin of 3 when I was hospitalized so…. The hysterectomy was not a choice. I’m about 9 weeks out. I haven’t had a chance to be sexual but I can tell you two weeks after the procedure I was feeling more sexual than ever. So I don’t know if I lost any feeling. Lol. For me, keto and 18-6 IF has allowed me to lose 20 pounds and still going. But I’m very strict in my keto. I don’t use substitutions for bread or processed food. I cook every day and I’m loving it. But every woman is different. My metabolism was slow so I had to be militant. So far, this is the best thing that could’ve happened for me. Full of energy and no cycle to hold me back. It’s up from here. Thank you for sharing your journey. ❤️

I follow ur cruise videos and just found out im gonna need a hysterectomy. When I found this channel I thought I looked familiar. Excited to see how ur journey was. And to see how mine will go 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽

Good video! Very informative!

Thankyou for being transparent.

Girl I haven't seen you in awhile, Lynette!! Looking great!

I am glad I ran in to your channel...I am going through it right now, I had been bleeding over four months now consistently and it's a struggle for me and my husband... there's no sexual relationship between us all because of the bleeding, I feel uncomfortable going anywhere! Right now I am waiting to see a fertility doctor to see if am a candidate for IVF or not.. one thing for sure my husband is very supportive..Thank you so much for sharing..

Hi thank you for your story. I have been watching your cruise videos and happen to come across this video of something I am struggling with. I decided to try the UFE procedure.

So glad I ran into this video. I'm 14 days post-op from my hysterectomy. I'm looking forward to the light at the end of the tunnel.

I can relate to all of this! Only difference I had the UFE it was the best decision ever. I’ve also considered a tummy tuck. This was great info

Thank you so much for the engaging, entertaining and informative videos. I am scheduled to have a hysterectomy Dec. 16th. After watching your videos, I am ready. I look forward to following you and your husband as I love your relationship!! Lastly, your hair was always on point!! Please share your styling secret while going through your hysterectomy journey.

I'm 56 and had my hysterectomy when I was 28. The empty feeling is real. I was also told I didn't need paps anymore. Now, recently, found out I do need them. I still have ovaries and some times get the ovaries cramping. My stomach has a buldge as well. Weight loss is non existence. I'm now taking estradiol. So make sure you keep up your calcium.

I was meant to come across your videos! Thank you for your transparency!! I'm going through this decision right now...and I feel you on the iron!! Mine was so low that I had to have multiple infusions! I currently have three really large fibroids and I've seen going back and forth with this decision, because there wasn't anything out there to really tell me what's going to happen with other then medical videos. Thank you thank you! I'm now on the fence between full or partial, and pray I don't have to take it all, I'm walking around looking like I'm 5-6 mths pregnant....lol I still thank you for this!

Lynette, you have really been on a journey, I went through the fibroid tumor years ago, 67 now and mine was so huge the doctors thought I was pregnant, but I decided to have the full hysterectomy, ovaries & all b/c one of them was iffy. I was so glad not to have a menstrual cycle, my oldest daughter has had complications from fibroid tumors and my youngest has also, if ever diagnosed, I would advise you to have them removed, if course do your research, it is quite an experience, peace and wellness to you, and lastly I enjoy your and Stanley's coverage on Queen Sugar & The Huntsville show 😉

Thank you so much for this video.. I’m having my surgery next month and I need all the details.

Thanks I feel alittle better knowing this

Thanks so much for sharing your hysterectomy journey. I had a full hysterectomy a year ago January 21st, my doctor took everything I battled with fibroids as well and it was better for me to take everything. I’m 53 years old next month I turn 54 and I’m the same with the stomach and the fat over my incision I still have the inching it’s horrible some days are better than others. But, what I did not know is that the insurance will cover for a tummy tuck?! I have to look into you this.

This video is very helpful. I had a myomectomy 4 years ago. But I have one that remained on the outside of my cervix. At the time I didn’t want to have a hysterectomy because I felt like I would be less of a women. Now, I’m at the point where I just need to have it removed. I can’t deal with the discomfort anymore.

Thanks so much for sharing this! I'm in the valley of decision about my fibroids and your videos are comforting❤

I'm so happy I came across your video I'm having a total hysterectomy in a week and I have been very nervous about it. Thank You for being very informative I really appreciate it. I'm just so ready for the pain to go away my fribroid is sitting on my colon.

I felt so emotional after watching this.

Omg I just stumble across this my fibroid was the size of a grapefruit, i just had my surgery May 10, 2022 and ended up being admitted back in Wednesday from low blood pressure and hurting to find out I have air around my incision on the left side. Thank you so much for sharing.

This is crazy! I've been watching your carnival cruise videos, had a planned cruise with my ex fiancée that didn't work out and she went on the cruise, came back yesterday, and getting the procedure today. I was searching for videos on how to care for her post surgery

Thank you for the information you shared. There is a lot I have to consider.

Thank you so much for sharing your story. I am 52 and I just stopped having the worst, most heaviest periods right at about 2 years now. I suffered from crime scenes every month, at work, at home, it was the worst. I scared my mom so bad she thought I was dying. There was a trail from my bedroom to the bathroom and all over the toilet seat and bowl where it had run down, was a complete mess. I cramped very bad and I had very low iron. My doctor recommended losing some weight because he thought I would have a hard time healing after the surgery and could possibly have complications because I am overweight. So I suffered for years with heavy cycles, but only in the later years after I had gained weight did they start talking about hysterectomy. Then guess what, 2 years ago I went into menopause. My Dr. told me I would probably start menopause soon and gave me the blood test to check. Then he said we don't consider you into menopause until after you have gone a year without a cycle, So the count down began...lol. Baby, when I hit that one-year mark I was like hallelujah!! Yes, I totally agree with you, not having to plan a vacation around your period is great. I would suggest that women going through this, would do it sooner than later. I waited too late, my quality of life would have been so much better had I done it earlier. My dr. never suggested it. So ladies, you must advocate for your own health, especially if you have a male dr. They never had a period, so when you tell them you have heavy cycles they just don't understand. Speak up to the doctors about all the possibilities and benefits for you. Don't let them generalize you, because everyone is different.

Just got my referral approved for a total hysterectomy due to being high risk for cancer since my grandmother died of ovarian cancer and fibroids on our ovaries have been in the family for awhile. My mom had a hysterectomy after I was born due to fibroids and my second daughter just found out she has fibroids also. And I'm done having kids. At 45 I have 6, ranging from 26-3. I really enjoy how in depth your videos have been and thank you for them.

Ohmygoodness yes... I concur... All of the above... It's been years since my laproscopic hysterectomy but I can recall it clearly. I did lose lots of tummy weight but it never goes on flat flat ( in my drake voice). I felt lighter and I do sometimes feel as if my sex drive is not the same. I get there but the feeling is surely different, not as Intense. This video was great. It was like a mirror Lynette, thank you queen 👑

I'm so looking forward to where you're at. Just got out of the hospital for blood transfusion due to heavy bleeding. Walked in with hemoglobin at 4.9 (they start transfusions at 7, normal starts at 12). Multiple lg fibroids, hysterectomy is the plan but I need to be able to handle major surgery. So, iron infusions and hopefully surgery. I'm SO looking forward to where you're at!!!

Thank you for sharing your experience!! I've been following your Hysterectomy Journey and it's very informative. I go for my laparoscopic hysterectomy (partial) on the 23rd of this month and I can't wait till it's over. God bless you Sis and thanks again 💖

Thank you for sharing your journey. I was the opposite of you with my iron levels. It took five months for my iron levels return to normal.

Thank you for your transparency

I also had a hysterectomy in June 2016 because of Fibroid Tumors. I feel so much better. I used to have very painful periods and heavy bleeding. I also suffered from PCOS also Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome where there are cysts on my ovaries. I did keep my ovaries for the hormones, but the uterus is gone. I don't miss a menstrual cycle at all.

I just received a call from my Dr saying I may need surgery. So I went to RU-vid and God blessed me with your beautiful face and helpful information. I am looking at everything you have on RU-vid. You are so calm and soothing and sooooo helpful. Thank you

Yes girl so tired of going to the bathroom every 10-15 min 😫 51 days until my surgery

Thanks don’t know where I’ve been didn’t even know you had a Hysterectomy smh but glad you’re doing well and sharing your journey 👏🏽

Thank you for this!

Thank u I’m 6wpo and feeling great looking forward to my anniversary!!!

Thank you so much for doing this ❤️

Hi, I'm just finding this video and it shed some light on the hysterectomy surgery. I've had a couple (the ablation and the uterine embolizatiion) and am still having fibroid issues. I wasn't even considering the surgery as I feel like l am closer to menopause (I'm 48) and didn't see the need. Now, I'm reconsidering for most of the reasons you've mentioned in this video. I don't have the heavy periods like I used to but they seem to come more often. I am also considering switching to another obyn since the one I have mentions the birth control option until menopause kicks in. There's no real need for BC's as I have a tubal ligation. Before I ramble on, thanks for sharing.

One thing i will say is having a hysterectomy seems permanent but temoving3the uterus only removes you from getring the fibroids. We have to find out naturally what caused them in the first place. It may show in another form since your uterus is removed.

Thanks so much for your very informative vids. I have watched them all. I am scheduled for my total next month. I look forward to vacation with no worries about “crime scenes “. I know exactly what you meant. I experienced it coming from Mexico😔😡.

Hey just want to say thanks for sharing your experiences with us. It is 2 weeks now since i did mine. So i just lie down and lusten to you and it let me feel good

Im so glad that youd video popped up because I go next month for my surgery. But you talked about the mouth guard, I'm interested in that. I was told that I dont need the machine but I have a deviated septum

Thanks for sharing & Yesssssss free at last !!!!!

Hi Lynnette Am glad I bumped into Ur vlog i have learned a lot My Surgery is on June 30th,am very nervous,stressed I feel like I should not go for it Am afraid to have a C-section

This was great. I get mine in January and I'm ready. It's so bad I'm ready for anything different.

What your saying is identical to what I’ve felt. I’m about 6 months post hysterectomy. I also have my ovaries still. My “battery” charge is at a minimum. It’s not what it use to be. I went back to the doctor… they - because I asked several doctors “your ok down there”. It’s NOT the same. Most of the sensation is gone. It’s mentally taken a toll on me during this COVID time. I CANT lose weight no matter what I try. I work from home as well. Thank you for sharing most women do not share their experience. BTW I’m 51 yrs. old and thankful that ALL the bleeding is gone. My goosh LOL

Your video help me a lot. Thank you.

I know this video is a year but it was recommended. I had a total hysterectomy in 2005 because ovarian sacs never had heavy cycles but I would have a cycle twice a month and Sometimes the Sacs ruptured. And the pain was excruciating My family physician suggests in my thirties that I would eventually have to have a hysterectomy So I decided to Go back to my gynecologist. She was awesome Explain everything that needed to be done and even stayed with me, when they put me under and were there when they woke me up I am fortunate did not gain any weight but went down to dress sizes. But the hot flashes were crazy.

Just had my surgery on 5/6/2022 and now I’m in post op and I just want the pain to go away from the gas. But I am concern where I would be in the next few weeks but I am glad you shared this video it helps. Me and you had the exact same issues and it make so much sense why I look like I was pregnant so now I know what option I can do to work on getting a flatter abdomen. Thank you for sharing!

Thank you for sharing your story.

Thanks for this information , yes we both had our surgeries 2 weeks apart, watching you got me through mine..and yes I now suffer with insomnia , I do not sleep. I read that insomnia is one of the side effects of having a hysterectomy .

Off topic, but your hair is so cute here 😊

Thank you for this. Just starting my journey with the decision making process. So many options, since they say are not right for me because, like you, I have an oversized uterus. I’ve been dealing with fibroids for over 25 years. TBH, I’m scared

Great information as always. I have been scheduled for surgery twice and had to cancel. Hopefully Jan 5 it will happen. I'm worried about the flood gate issues myself hopefully it won't be a issue. Thanks again

SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO helpful. TFS

Powerful! Been there!

Hi!!!! I’m having a hysterectomy in March and in looking for information in preparation, I must say your videos-hands down-have been the most informative. Like, I’m taking notes and everything ! I’m watching all of them. Thank you for sharing your journey so openly and candidly and with such detail as you did. You have truly been a blessing to me. Question…I already struggle with sleep and possibly insomnia and nothing NOTHING has worked. I think you mentioned sea moss lotion in the morning. Where do you get it and what brand, if you don’t mind?
