MY FIBROIDS & HYSTERECTOMY STORY MY PATHWAY TO WELLNESS AND HAPPINESS 

You're, welcome! I know that, anxiety, that you are feeling. It overtakes your mind and you feel, super scared, alone and cofused, wondering, if you are making a good decision. All you have is, what-if questions, bogging you down. You got me laughing, because, I can hear you telling your doc, not, to touch your ovaries! lol That fibroid, that was sitting on my ovaries was so annoying. I know what you mean about constantly having to use the restroom. I've answered some questions and gave a few tips to viewers, in the comment section. Whenever you feel up to it, read through them. It'll help you, because, you are going to need some help. Just to give a few, I'll give you 10. 1. No stairs! 2. No reaching! 3.No lifting more than 5lbs, even, a gallon of milk! 4. No chinese food, such as, fried rice! 5. KEEP LAXATIVES AROUND ALL THE TIME, SUCH AS, prune juice and suppositiories (I used both). You're going to be constipated. 6. Learn, how to get in and out of bed, because, your abdominal is going to be hurting. I used my legs, first, then pushed my body up, to get in and out of bed. 7. SIT DOWN, SIT DOWN, SIT DOWN SOMEWHERE! Our bodies trick us, to thinking, that we feel better and it's really not. You have to rest and relax, as much as, possible. 8. Keep plenty of pillows with you at all times, even, in car rides. Your body is going to feel like something is going to fall out and it hurts when we sneeze, cough and laugh. Press the pillow against your stomach as a security net, even, while sleeping. The pillow will be your friend. 9. Have your friends and family around you as much as possible. You're going to need constant help, at least, the first 2 weeks. 10. Eat healthy, clean, non greasy, foods. Little things, like that, causes, setbacks and they are not fun:( Alot of the things, you will learn naturally, but, it is a process and takes a long time.Once you've healed, you will feel so much better. It took me about 2 full years, to heal. I had the old school bikini cut surgery. Happy Wellness and Health to you:)

HealthyHairJourney72 Thanks for sharing! Very helpful!

HealthyHairJourney72 mine is sitting on my bladder also and I’m ALWAYS PEEING! My surgery is next Tuesday and I’m scared!! Hysterectomy with fibroids and uterus

You're welcome 😊

8 years later I'm watching. I'm actually recovering from surgery I had last week.

dweakley1

How are you since your surgery?

Wow

Don't skip the ovary awareness plz...

I’m at that point now; partial hysterectomy or continue with pain, etc. I was having issues at age 34 and requested an ultrasound; two small fibroids. No suggestion to monitor them through ultrasounds, I just discussed it with my doctor for six years and endured issues. PCP and OBGYN suggested hysterectomy because of my age now 40 and I have two children. I have five fibroids now and partial hysterectomy is scheduled for next month. I’m still skeptical regardless of the issues. I’m just praying for peace of mind with my decision. Thanks for this information.

You're welcome! I'm happy you are getting rid of those painful blood suckas. There's no need to live in pain and misery. Happy Wellness to you. 😊

Thank you

Yes, you will need a support system and a team. Actually, you need 2 people that can help you for the first two weeks, because, the surgery will be hard on your body and you can, possibly, go into a depression. Plus, you won't be able to drive, if you use a car for transportation. The simpliest things can set you back in your healing process, such as walking up and down stairs, washing your body, especially your butt or picking up a gallon of milk. I hate that you will be on your own, but see if you can talk to doctors, neighbors or an ex-friend, that can help you. The good thing is, the laparoscpic procedure is not as rough as the old school bikini cut, as far as, recovery time, but it is still a big surgery and takes your breath away. Child, you gonna be a little winded, tired, drained and in pain. Getting in and out of bed for the first few days is a beast, because your abs and stomach area will be tender. Please, reach out to somebody or reschedule your appointment until you do. Thank you for commenting. 😊

@@NeziNappsakaNezi I wanted to follow up with you regarding my procedure since you were so kind to respond. So my procedure in August was canceled 2 days prior to my surgery date because the hospitals stopped performing elective surgeries due to the high amount of Covid patients taking up all of the hospital beds. I was eventually rescheduled for Oct 18th. So I had my laparoscopic procedure 4 days ago. The doctor removed a fibroid the size of a grapefruit (I asked for photos) so I could see for myself. I had my left ovary removed and kept my right. I spent the night in the hospital and was released the next day. 3 days after the surgery I had ZERO pain, and no longer needed pain pills. I have no issues walking, driving, sleeping etc… I have a bloated belly from the CO2 gas but that will subside with walking. I was told the gas in my stomach would travel to my shoulders and cause pain but nope. None of that has happened. I was nervous because I still don’t have (live in) help during recovery but I didn’t need it. I’m barely spotting and can’t wait to be cleared to go back to the gym because I feel fine. I truly believe the laparoscopic procedure is so much easier on the body because it’s minimally invasive vs the old school bikini cut hysterectomy (which my mom had) which took her MONTHS to recover from. Had I known I was going to be feeling this damn good I would have done this years ago instead of suffering every month! I’m so grateful to God that he blessed me with a wonderful surgeon and a smooth recovery. So many nurses in the hospital had the same procedure done and kept saying I’d feel fine within a week and 4 days later, I feel fantastic. Thank you again for documenting your experience. It really helped me move forward with deciding to have my procedure. ☀️💛

Alright, girl. Hugs!

OMG! I'm glad you got that taken care of. That sounds very serious. I hope you are feeling better, now. Happy Wellness To YOU.

Yes! The first few days are the worst. I felt like death. Oh, that is great news...having a great support team, especially, from your husband. You heal, better, when you know you are going to be alright. I'm happy for you:)

Ooh,that's scary! I got my cysts checked out, recently and my gyn said mine was normal. Hope, she was right.

No, I felt normal. Now, last year, my hormones was popping out of control. My surgery was in 2009, so, I don't think my hormones was crazy because of my hysterectomy. I'm getting older and closer to menopause. I think, that's why, I was so crazy. I nipped that craziness in the bud with some wild yam supplement pills. They worked like a charm and I only took them for 3 days. Don't worry about that. You'll be fine, especially, since you kept your ovaries.

OMG I'm 39 as well with no children. I already had my tubes tied because of health reasons so I'm gonna opt for the partial hysterectomy. Please update on your recovery

I pray you're doing well and have a healthy, speedy recovery! I'll have one Oct. 1st.

Hi Nfinite MissConnception! Thank you for your wishes! I’m doing 100% better after my surgery. I have no regrets after during it and feel so much better and a lot healthier. I pray you have a great surgery on the first. Take care!

Symone Kennedy Hi Symone! Recovery turned out better than I thought. No regrets what so ever! ❤️

@@Lisa____Mota That's great news. Your stories are encouraging. My surgery date is in November.

Wowzers! That fibroid blew up that big in one year? Dang! Those blood suckers ain't no joke! I'm glad you got that taken care of, because, it was only going to get worse. Good for you:)

NeziNapps akaNezi thank you!

I have a melon size plus 3 smaller golf ball size I'm scared any advice?

Kimi

hi , i just had an abdominal hysterectomy done on oct 15 due to a large fibroid. R u having any pressure issue in you abdomen .? Like it just feels heavy especially when you get up? Hows the recovery coming along? Yes..trust the Lord

@Bern Milan YES, you need a stomach binder or postpartum belt to support you internally. It helps tremendously. My recovery is coming along good. I was creep stepping for awhile☺️ and struggled to get out of bed. I’m 4weeks post op and finally mastered how to get out of bed without it being painful. Happy recovery, and take your time.😇

I’m having one in another month…i been doing alot of research. I dont want kids, dont have any, but need it for my own sanity. This pain is horrendous, and i’m tired of bleeding crazy. My husband good with it, and he supports me. I don’t think I could have done any of this without his support.

You know, you made me smile, repeating after me, right? I forgot, I said that. lol But, yeah! People, have a problem with hysterectomies. Shoot! I had a problem with it, at first. After researching and weighing out some things, it was the best decision. I'm like you. I don't want to be uncomfortable. I'm hoping, you don't have any regrets on your decision. I'm thinking you feel, much better and if so, good for you. Happy Health and Body and stay blessed, as well.

Do you want children?

Monique, same here, multiple surgeries and all, but u know what, I've decided I'm tired, better just take out the uterus.. I've been waiting it out for 2 years, but I finally told my doctor I'm ready, doing it soon, I'm 33, no kids and I honestly never wanted biological children

I'm 35 and trying to get mine scheduled. Haven't wanted children for nearly a decade and advised people to adopt/foster. Always got a "but it's not yours" "but what if your husband wants one" "but, but, but". I was TIRED. My pain grew from heavy periods, to multiple hospital stays for multiple infusions, to polyp growth, to the growth of MULTIPLE fibroids. I was mad at everyone I'd ever tusted and a life and all the money and time I'd spent. I'm only angry that I postponed my own life, my own wellbeing, and my own quality of life because of what everyone else had told me, including doctors. I CAN'T WAIT to have a hysterectomy because it still sounds better than the hell I've been going through for 25 years. I wish you well and hope you find peace with YOUR body and YOUR health! ❤️

Ladies, thank you for sharing. I have 1 son and I didn't want anymore but it was such an emotional decision to have my lady parts taken. Im a social worker and there are so many children needing wonderful mothers in their lives. So if you decide to want children please consider adoption or foster parenting.

Monique, same situation here. Even down to the name…lol…Monique…i have no kids, have been dealing with endometriosis since age 12 and I’ve been on birth control and lupron since 12. I am scheduled for a hysterectomy next month. I’m praying that you are well!!…we are in this together!!!

You're welcome and thank you for you comment:)

Thanks for sharing

I grieved without knowing over having tubal ligation...... in two days I’ll be having a hysterectomy. I pray I don’t have any emotional pain this time around.

You're welcome. I'm happy I could help. Happy Wellnes To You:)

Amanda Rhindress , how was it? How do you feel now?

Patricia Greenlee it’s frustrating when they don’t reply.

Same Amanda.. I had four the size of tennis balls and by god the past three years were hell because of it. Was very sick, lost a lot of weight due to being so sick, lost all appetite for food made me feel sick after every meal.When it came to that time of the month I was having periods that sometimes went for a lucky 3-4 days to 1-2 MONTHS straight. And because of this as well with the loss of so much blood every time I ended up in hospital 7 times over 2 years having to get blood transfusions and iron transfusions as well. At one stage I had lost that much blood over a six month period that I was rushed into hospital by a ambulance by my private doctor, was feeling not so good at work one day, left work and went to see my private doctor he took blood tests and sent me home to rest, half hr later he himself then came to my house and said I have called a ambulance you need to go to hospital right now before something bad happens.. I was like “ok but I feel fine now” he said “ my dear you are not fine you blood levels are not right at all and you are a very sick girl right now!, And with the amount of blood that you have left that is running thu your body YOU SHOULD NOT BE ALIVE!”.. he said, your body as gotten that used to of this and somehow your body as worked out how to go into overdrive and has kept you alive!.. I was gobsmacked 😳. That’s where they had found the fibroids when all the tests where happing. So all that happen and thousands of more doctors appointment and specialist appointment over the two years, see cancer doctors because my blood wasn’t right, the stress of just everything and having to deal with being a single mother of two boys, having a bloody period that was killing me, me going to specialist appointments and breaking down in tears telling them to just give me a hysterectomy already so I can start living normal, so my boys had their mother back and not so sick all the time.. so it’s been 11 months now since I had my hysterectomy and I am on cloud nine AND FEEL AMAZING!!! 😊👌🏼.. has been a massive life changer for me and I’m so glad that I did it.!

I’m thinking about doing it. Is it painful and how old where you when you did the surgery? I’m 41

Yes, it is painful, but in the long run and after you heal, the pain goes away. I had my surgery at 39 and I'll be 50 years old on October 4th and feel great. I have no regrets, still, to this day.

All of my doubts in relation to this fibroids in my body are all eradicated, thanks a lot to the effectiveness with this fibroids treatment plan t.co/sXj7KJoTdC Of all the fibroids guidelines I`ve go through, this is the one which has genuine and trusted treatment. It`s been 90 days ever since I followed your protocols and I`m now absolutely free from fibroids. .

I don't regret it and my surgery was 10 years ago.

@Black Raspberry That's cold and insensitive.

@Black Raspberry first show me the statistics of all women who had hysterectomies regretting it. Why do you care to bother these women in the first place? You don't know their diets so changing diets have nothing to do with it. Lots of women choose to be childless so either your projecting your own issues on this woman or your jealous of childless women. Live your own life leave people alone.

@Black Raspberry Its our choice to have it done. So if you don't like it than don't get one very simple.

@Black Raspberry So worry about your life and leave other people alone.

Hi, Janet! I appreciate you, as well. Thank you for commenting a sharing a little of your story. I'm happy you are doing okay. You're welcome:)

Happy all is well. If you don't mind sharing what all did they remove? And what procedure did they take was it through the vagina or the old-fashioned way? My Dr wants to perform mines via vagina & I'm freaked OUT.

42? You mean 32?

Your fibroids will be back. The only way to rid fibroids, permenantly, without surgery is menopause, hysterectomy or death.

Thank you so much:)

Hello! You are, so welcome. Have you been suffering, from, your fibroids? Have you seen a difference, since, you changed your diet? If so, that's great. I am happy, that you are finding your pathway. Much success, to you. Thank you, for listening to my journey:) Happy Health and Body:)

Yes, I canceled the hysterectomy because I felt a difference in my symptoms after doing a strict cleanse and eating a vegetarian diet. Thank you for the good wishes and much success to you also :)

Great! I'm happy to know:)

How is the dietary method working? Really curious. It's been 4 years. Did you end up having to have a procedure done? If so, how did it go?

L. Gillard I know what you mean, with having all of those mixed feelings. I spent 2 days in the hospital. The doctors tried to make walk around, but, it was too painful in my abdomen. So, they sent me the head RN and she forced me to get out of bed, but, she was sweet about it. lol Also, they won't let you the hospital, unless, you have a bowel movement or pass gas. I ended up passing gas, so they let me out in 2 days.

hi, I am about two weeks and days out of surgery. this thing is rough. I had a a.few hiccups. after surgery my blood pressure and hemoglobin dropped. my doctor was very concerned and wanted to.keep me a blood transfusion. The day after surgery my blood count raised a.few points but my BP was still low. I refused the transfusion because my blood counts has always been low my entire life. A week after discharge I was advised by my doc to come the office for blood work to check my blood count. that week I tripped up on my iron intake and geritol. blood count increased to a satisfyingly number for my doctor. a major problem I had the first two weeks was making a.bowel movement. it was awful! what we're some things , if any, you did to ensure bowel movement? was the there a particular diet you went by? this things is horrible. I took dulcolax and when it kicked in I was miserable; pain, pain and more pain but never a bowel movement! my bowel finally moved but it was the most painful thing I have every experienced. I was glad but each movement is painful! Any suggestions...

L. Gillard hope you are fine

L. Gillard how big was your fibroid?

@@l.gillard1030 How are things for you now? That sounded rough!

No complications or continued pain?

Thank you so much 😘😎😊

Girl, when I read your comment, I was shocked! I'm so happy you are in a better place, today.Thank you for sharing, as well.

NeziNapps akaNezi Thanks so much 💜💜

@@Zbraze6 Did you have complications? How long did it take to recover where you were back to your usual self?

lockergr hi it took me 5 weeks after a week 1 was able to cook a little and shower ... not much else I went back to work after 5 weeks but I sit all day

Zbraze6. It's great to hear your feeling better. I have a question, was the procedure done the old-fashioned way or via the vagina. My doctor wants to do mines through the vagina and I'm trying to find women that had it done that way. To tell me what it's like.

I'm definitely reading your comment and here to listen to you. I know exactly how you are feeling, although, I had those feelings 11 years, ago. I'm happy this video has brought a little comfort to you. Taking care of our bodies will let us have a better, productive, healthy, life. Especially, if we have children, because we need to be there for them. Fibroids are some mean blood suckas that drains us, causes pain and hidden away, alone, until we feel better and that's no way to live. If you are interested, I have a few tips underneath this video, in the comment section, as a, REPLY, to another commenter. I have it PINNED BY NeziNapps. Thank you for your comment and compliment.

You're, welcome! Yeah, the juice box will still be juicy! lol If you keep your ovaries, things, shouldn't dry out. My doctor told me, our vaginas get wet on it's own, naturally and the ovaries help it even more. Are you having your ovaries removed, too? If they are healthy, tell your doctor, NOT, to remove them. Our ovaries tend to keep us, balanced, in our everyday life. There are other options to having a hysterectomy. I had a couple of friends who opted to have a procedure done, where, the doctor stopped the blood supply to the fibroids. I forgot the name of it, though. The only thing is, the fibroids come back after time, unless, you go through menopause. Just talk to your doctor about other options or get a second opinion. The hysterectomy is the only way to stop blood supply, permanently, to fibroids. Menopause, stops blood supply to fibroids, too. I'm sorry you don't have any support, because, you will need it. Talk to your doctor about, counseling or after-surgery-support or support groups. Also, you will need assistance at home. NO HEAVY LIFTING (A GALLON OF MILK IS TOO HEAVY) AND NO STAIRS! Women, don't believe me, when I tell them this and they be wondering, why, they still bleeding, excessively. You have to REST AND RELAX or you will heal super slow.

Thank you, so much. I will find out about other options too.I'm in my 40's so hopefully menopause shouldn't be far away. but they did do test and told me I'm not ready for menopause just yet. I actually have an appointment today with doctor so Thanks.

Also, ask about the Laproscopic method. Ask lots of questions. You're welcome and have a good day:)

@@77deerose Hey Deerose, what did you end up deciding and how did it go. I'm 41 and trying to sort this all out as well.

Oh, Shantel! I'm happy this video has brought you a little comfort and calmness. I remember those feelings, you are feeling. The fear of the unknown can be so scary. You're right! Fear, can keeps up stagnate, in pain and behind, but, at the same time, sometimes, we are just not ready to face it. When you're ready, you'll make changes. I have some tips, PINNED BY NEZINAPPS, as a reply to another viewer, posted at the top of the comment section below this video. Those tips will help you heal better and faster, once you get home. You'll need a team of people (somewhere around 2 to 3) to help you in your healing process for the first 2 weeks. You can not do this alone, unless, you want setbacks. Setbacks are not fun, but, sometimes, it happens. It's part of the process. I appreciate your comment and Happy Healing To You:) xoxo

Tiffany Martinez i recommend healing from a Reiki healer🌸

What did you decide on, and how did it go?

I had the bikini cut 10 years ago. I’m still having health issues after my blood vessels were damaged. Have a good think about it.

Capt. Steph You're welcome. Happy wellness to you😘

I had mine done at the same age, you are so blessed to have already had children. The depression of knowing noone will ever call me mommy is so real. I wouldn't wish this on any woman

+MaM TV You are so welcome. Happy Healthy Healing to You😘😊

You're welcome, Felicia! I appreciate you sharing your story. Happy Wellness to you.

You'll be fine. I can't tell you not to worry, because, it's natural to do so; I worried, too. It's a new healthy journey and you'll adapt, as time goes by. Just remember, you are still a woman and can't nobody take that from you. I have some tips for your post operation, if you're interested.

How are you feeling?

Tenecia Patterson ...things ended up going left field. I didn’t respond well to the anesthesia, so the procedure was stopped. I was told that my heart rate slowed too much and scared the surgeon. I’ve since decided to just deal with my symptoms and reach menopause on my own at some point.

@@e.hunter-davis3105 Oh, no! That sounds terrible. Thank you for the update.

You're welcome, Karen. I'm doing fine. It's been 10 years since my surgery. I'm going to do an updated video, soon. Thank you:)

Hi Khaleelah! Your sister will feel, much better, in the end. I'm happy, she's on her road of wellness and happiness. When your body feels good, you feel good. Thanks, for sharing your sisters path to happiness:) You're welcome..

Oh, you are so welcome. I hope things went well, on Wednesday:)

I am the same age as you and having to make the same decision. Did your fibroids grow back? I was told to get the hysterectomy, but my fibroids are smaller than yours. I have three of them. How do you feel about your decision?

Get another opinion! There's multiple options out there if you still want to keep your fertility. Research as much as you can before you decide what to do.

Hi, Pammy! You are so welcome! I remember that scary feeling, but, you'll be fine. You're going to feel much better in the long run.

I have it pinned under, PINNED BY NeziNapps and it's the first comment at the top. Happy Wellness to you:)xo

You'll be fine, even through these times, but I don't blame you for worrying. The hospitals have stepped up their safety measures and you know what to do, to stay safe. Hopefully, the people in your life, that has to take care of you the first week or two, takes safety precautions, as well. I'm wishing you the best, through this wellness journey. Happy Wellness and Healing. You're welcome. 😘😊

@@NeziNappsakaNezi thank you so much😌❤

Annette Melnychu

Any other complications? How long did it take until you could function like before you had surgery?

Update: my surgery went well. The doctor discovered a polyp attached to my uterus. Yet, my uterus wasnt a mess. He (Dr.) removed the fibroids, polyp and shed my lining without complications along with placed an IUD inside my cervix then sent my tissue off to the lab. When I came back for a follow-up the result came back from my tissue and it was negative (no cancer). In which, I knew it wasnt because I felt like the doctor would've remove my uterus during surgery if it was the case. Anyway, I'm so thankful that everything came out okay. Thank God! Amen.

Felisha Morton I'm happy you found this video helpful. It's good to research and listen to other people stories and that's why I shared mine. I'm proud, you are getting yourself taken care of. You will feel much better, sooner, than later. Happy Healthy Healing:)

Hi, Shania. I'm sorry about your depression, from, dealing with this situation. Have you made some decisions, yet, on what to do? I went through the same thing and decided to get rid of them problem, permanently.

Thank you, Diana and you're welcome 😊

Thank you, Shane! I'm doing fine! I hope you are, too and appreciate that you stopped by, again:)

Wow! You had some aggressive, fibroids. It's really something, how, they can alter your life. Your doctor was sort of different. Most of the times, they try to encourage us, to have the surgery. You were not playing. Get'em out of me, NOW, is what you told her. Good for you. You are right! You gotta sit still, after, having a surgery, like this. You will have some major, setbacks, if you don't. Thanks, for sharing your story. I appreciate, it:)

Are you still happy you had your uterus removed? I have to decide myself.

BLESSED Ms Lady That's a good idea. Take care of your body.

I had it. Real heavy prolonged bleeding. I used bittermint tea, 1 ounce.....its really bitter......and bye to that problem. This was after my myomectomy. Never did hysterectomy.

How did it go Leigh Ann? Those are HUGE fibroids! I think you are making a wise decision. How did it go? Did you have it? How are you healing? I have multiple and have to decide what to do. I'm so torn. Don't want kids, but some women have such issues after the surgery.

Hope u doing well, keep us posted

I'm happy this video has brought, comfort, to you. I'm like you. I'd choose my health over anything else. Thank you for commenting. 😊

You're welcome, Phyllis. Happy Wellness to you.

You're welcome and Happy Wellnes to you:)

Hi, Andrea! You are very welcome. I am happy to bring some comfort to you. I really appreciate your comment and compliment, because, it lets me know, that I've done a great job on answering some of your concerns. Hugs to you! Happy Wellness To You:)

Hi Tracy! You are so welcome and thank you, for listening. First, I would like to say, Happy Birthday in advance. Secondly, I'm happy to know, you are taking care of your body. Having a fibroid removed, as big as yours, will make feel a whole lot better. Those things suck and drain the life, out a woman. As long as, they leave your ovaries, that juice box will continue to provide, all the necessary juice. Make sure you talk to your doctor about your ovaries. Tell him, if they are healthy, Don't Remove Them! They provide estrogen and balance in our lives. If he does remove them, you will go into menopause. Remember, to have lots of help from family and friends, don't walk up stairs. If you really have to walk stairs, walk down them or up them, backwards, sit down somewhere, no reaching, carrying heavy stuff more than 5 pounds, don't eat Chinese fried rice. My step mom warned me about that, and I ate some, like, 5 weeks after my surgery and baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaby, I thought, I was dying! OMG! I had to drink prune juice and use suppositories to get that stuff to move. Keep Laxitives, handy. Drink lots of fresh water. Eat healthy, as possible, because, you want your bowels to move, smoothly. You will be in alot of pain, down there. Don't need to strain yourself. You will learn, what and what not to do, while recovering. Just follow the doctors orders and SIT DOWN! It takes a long time to recover. Don't need any setbacks. Also, take as much time, off work, as needed. They are going to try and send you back to work, fast. Okay, I talked your head off, enough. Happy Healthy Body. Muyah!

***** Thank you, my Beautiful sister! I appreciate EVERY WORD you shared with me! I was telling my daughter yesterday how I was concerned with just 'what' type of pain will I experience since they're not cutting anywhere near my private areas... what's going to take the recovery so long? So it was awesome to hear from you addressing some of my concerns. - - - The doc told me upfront that he was leaving my ovaries for the reasons you shared. (Except he didn't mention the 'juice box', just the menopausal thing. - - - I live on the second floor of my apartment and there are quite a few stairs so I will remember to go up backwards and be careful not to go up and down often. Yikes! - - - My daughter will come home from the air force to assist, my 19 yr. old son lives with me, and then I have many friends that are saying they plan on being there for me as well. {{BLESSED}} - - - And I don't have a traditional job. I'm a speaker for a company and will have to take some time off but, the doc told me about 6 weeks. I also have my own business creating videos and stuff so he said I can continue to do that because I'm able to sit. - - - - Since I'm a veteran, I'm going through the V.A. hospital and they are so great here in San Diego! - - - So again... THANK YOU and BLESS YOU for the words of encouragement and advice! I'll let ya know how it turns out ♥

Alright, Beautiful! That makes me happy. I do have a concern about, those stairs, though. The second floor? Not good:( I wish you can stay with somebody, for awhile. You'll be fine, I know. My pillow was my friend. I kept it on my stomach, the whole time; even, when I went places. It feels like something is going to fall out. I had the traditional, bikini cut, hysterectomy. Yeah! Doc's, always, tell you 6 weeks, but, believe me, they are programmed to say that. I guarantee you, you will need more time, than, that. You will, also, feel good through your shut down, 6 week, period. Don't let that fool you. You are not healed. You are healing! lol Honestly, it took me about 1 year to feel, %100, better and I didn't stop cramping, bloating, the whole PMS symptoms, for 3 to 4 years. My body didn't realize my uterus and cervix was removed. It was so weird. They were very mild symptoms, though. 5 years, later, I still, bloat, irritability, back pains, but, very mild and barely there. Everybody's, body, is different. My one friend didn't experience those things, after, her surgery. In the end, you may get bored, have crying spells and think, you can move around. Just allow yourself to heal and have lots rest, cable, fun things to do in bed and your team be there for you. You'll be fine:) Okay, I did it, again. I talked your head off. I'm sorry:( Nezi

***** LOL!! I sure appreciate you 'talking my head off'! I would love to actually talk to you over the phone or video for a few questions that I don't want to post publicly. Hey! Maybe we can do a Google chat or something?

That's cool. I don't know how to do it, though. If you know how to do it, then, we can schedule a day to chat. That sounds like fun.

I had fibroid surgery in January 2018 it regrow again in 2020 March but shrink it naturally with dromo herbal Medications🥰🥰 his channel ru-vid.com/show-UCZJJR-LpB1SVD09hQkt1-GA

You are so welcome and thank you for sharing. Happy Wellness To You!😘😊😎

did you have a vaginal or abdominal hysterectomy? Did you feel pressure when getting up from bed or a chair?

I had it vaginally, yes for awhile I felt like something was going to fall out.

Thank you! I wish you the best on whatever, you decide to do. Happy Wellness To you:)

Yes

+iGoBy V HI! You're welcome! Good luck on your visit. You have plenty of time to make your decision, if you wanna do a video or not. RU-vid will be here, when you are ready.

You are very welcome. I remember feeling those same feelings and concerns. That's why I made this video, to help you and other women, facing this situation. I'm glad to be of help. Happy Healing To You:)

Good luck with your recovery! I just had an abdominal myomectomy 2 weeks ago. I had nausea and shoulder pain from the anesthesia too. It was the worst for the 1st 5 days. But each day gradually got better. Time really does heal all wounds.

Hi, Kati! I know that fear, that, you are having. It's overwhelming! I do have some recommendations. Click on this video and read the comments. I pinned some suggestions to the top of the comments. Also, you can read, more, further down the comment section. Happy Healing To You:)

How did it go Kati? What did you decide on? I have to choose as well. It's overwhelming and the more I search the more emotional I get.

I don't quite understand that question, but, your vagina stays in tact and your cervix is removed. The vagina is on the outside and it's nowhere near the cervix, which is in the inside. I think your asking, once the cervix is removed, what do doctors do to close the hole, that's left open? To answer that question, my doctor sewed it shut. She didn't want that space to remain open. My doctor told me, back in the day, doctors would let that space stay open and let the body close the hole, naturally, on it's own. She didn't like that idea for her patients. I'm glad she closed/sewed that space for me, because after my surgery, it felt like stuff was about to fall out. She created a base vs having a gaping hole, that use to be a cervix. I hope, I answered your question.

Imma need you to STOP SPAMMING MY VIDEO!

ConnectedToMeNow Hey, lady! I know you are probably getting ready for surgery, now. So, maybe you will see this message in a day or two. I'm very happy my video brought some type of calm to you. Yes, you will be fine. You have a long journey, as far as, healing and stuff, but, I guarantee you, you will feel 100%, better. Please! Just remember to rest and take your time with doing things. Your mind will make you believe you are healed, sooner, than you think. It's very easy to have setbacks. I'm happy for your decision, to finding your way to wellness and happiness and you are, so welcome:) xoxox

How are you today? How long did you have pain post procedure? How long before you were 100%?

You are so welcome, Sharese. It's amazing how those fibroids can do, what they do. I'm just happy you are getting the treatment that you need, because, those mean things can hinder us from living our best lives. I appreciate you sharing your journey with me. Happy Wellness and happiness to you. 🥰😍😘

I understand, about, not jumping on the Hysterectomy Bandwagon. It takes us time to think things, through. You're doing the right thing, by weighing out your options. Just to let you know, though, fibroids are blood suckers and as long as, blood is supplied to them, they will continue to grow. Food will not shrink them, but, if you change your eating habit and see a difference in your problem, I will be so happy for you. Happy Healing to you:)

Thank you...

sighing... she's right. I did a full 360 degrees on my diet. Cranked up working out and ate more healthy than a diabetic. As of this date 9/30/16, my abdominal myomectomy is scheduled for Oct 25th. I am nervous. I was nervous. Mine is 10cm and about 14-16weeks. My God. My God. Scary isn't what Im feeling. Im producing more adrenaline than a tank of pure Redbull. sighing. God is my strength. Nezi thank you for posting your story. thank you. Karress, stay in prayer. Keep listening to your body. Notice the changes. Don't discount anything. If you dare doubt maybe.. or could it.. or feel indifferent include your doctor. You're not alone Ma. You're not!

@@khyla_art Wow Khyla, thank you for sharing all that. How did your procedure go? I want a myomectomy, but one doctor told me to get the hysterectomy. I have heard too many horror stories.

@@lockergr well actually you will be down for at least 6 weeks and moving slow with both. The hysterectomy, ive seen ppl gain alot of weight, bloating, and take a bit longer to get their wind and vibe back (my opinion). I did gain 40lbs and can not eat the same but all in all it was worth it.

Your welcome and thank you for sharing a piece of your story, too. I appreciate your comment and compliment:)

How did your surgery go?

Good luck to you ... I did a fibroid embolization a week ago and will do a myomectomy next week . Make me think if I should had done hysterectomy instead . Done once . Not 2 procedures and might have fibroids later still . Best to you Lynn ❤

Hi, Sonja! You are so welcome! You sound, like, you want to move your surgery up, sooner, than September or October (only if you can). I never heard of renal failure, but, it sounds super serious and you don't want to wait too long. Taking money out of your 401k sounds good, if that's your only means of staying afloat, because, ain't nobody, else, gone do it for you. Just remember, though, if you don't put the money back in, you will be paying interests, penalties and double taxes. Hopefully, your 401k has a clause, that states you can withdraw money, without penalties, for health issues. If not, I wouldn't worry about it, because, your health is way important and that's why you have money. SPEND IT! Happy Wellness To You:)

NeziNapps akaNezi it's gonna be like a loan. I will be paying myself back with interest!

Alriggght! You're good to go!

NeziNapps akaNezi after my surgery I will give you an update on how it was. Thanks again!!!!!

Oh, thank you! I would love to see how things are going. I don't know if you've seen my helpful tips, after, surgery. It's pinned in the comment section, as a reply to someone, else. I'm going to copy and paste it to you. You're, welcome! I know that, anxiety, that you are feeling. It overtakes your mind and you feel, super scared, alone and cofused, wondering, if you are making a good decision. All you have is, what-if questions, bogging you down. You got me laughing, because, I can hear you telling your doc, not, to touch your ovaries! lol That fibroid, that was sitting on my ovaries was so annoying. I know what you mean about constantly having to use the restroom. I've answered some questions and gave a few tips to viewers, in the comment section. Whenever you feel up to it, read through them. It'll help you, because, you are going to need some help. Just to give a few, I'll give you 10. 1. No stairs! 2. No reaching! 3.No lifting more than 5lbs, even, a gallon of milk! 4. No chinese food, such as, fried rice! 5. KEEP LAXATIVES AROUND ALL THE TIME, SUCH AS, prune juice and suppositiories (I used both). You're going to be constipated. 6. Learn, how to get in and out of bed, because, your abdominal is going to be hurting. I used my legs, first, then pushed my body up, to get in and out of bed. 7. SIT DOWN, SIT DOWN, SIT DOWN SOMEWHERE! Our bodies trick us, to thinking, that we feel better and it's really not. You have to rest and relax, as much as, possible. 8. Keep plenty of pillows with you at all times, even, in car rides. Your body is going to feel like something is going to fall out and it hurts when we sneeze, cough and laugh. Press the pillow against your stomach as a security net, even, while sleeping. The pillow will be your friend. 9. Have your friends and family around you as much as possible. You're going to need constant help, at least, the first 2 weeks. 10. Eat healthy, clean, non greasy, foods. Little things, like that, causes, setbacks and they are not fun:( Alot of the things, you will learn naturally, but, it is a process and takes a long time.Once you've healed, you will feel so much better. It took me about 2 full years, to heal. I had the old school bikini cut surgery. Happy Wellness and Health to you:)
