Plums, apples, cheeries and walnuts. Wowwww.

[@Aj-kr1or]

My cyst was the size of a grapefruit and end up taking out one of my ovaries but three years later I got pregnant naturally with twins three years. good luck on your surgery

[@chellyd878]

Darling Wahima, I applaud your openness and transparency. God bless you and I pray for restored healing and abundant health. ❤️❤️❤️❤️🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾

So belly story about how everyone thought i was pregnant and it was an ovarian cyst with 2 liters of fluid n it: i was 16 years old in high school, and was always bullies and people made rumors i was pregnant and a “slut” and then i went to the doctor and they said i had a cyst of my ovary i had had for years, growing to the point where it had 2 liters of fluid n it. They did the same type of surgery where they made a small incision n my belly button attached to instruments and a camera and were able to save both ovaries. N short...i feel ur big belly pain and cyst or no cyst my belly is still my biggest insecurity. Wish u the best wah!!!

[@Kre8iviT27]

2 liters worth of fluid in a cyst? Yikes!

[@stewpeas4741]

May God go before you and may His will be done. Hoping for better health in every way. Bless you.

Amen!!!

Wah, here's a hint for abdominal surgery, hold a throw pillow over your stomach when you need to move around i.e sit up, get up, turn over. That should help a lot. In the hospital we use to tape a blanket into a rectangle for abdominal surgery patients.

My mom used to say that “All you can do is your best”. I ended having a Russian Tennis coach saying “That is ridiculous, you can always do more.” My mom was right.

[@msrosie3480]

By the time I saw the video (Friday) you had probably already had surgery. I pray everything went well and hope for the best outcome possible in your journey.

[@AlxndrTheeGr8]

You have to say something before the end of February girl!!! That’s ok. I’ll stalk your IG for a sign that all is well 🤗🌹🌹

[@primekarich8755]

You are totally entitled to feel that this is NOT fair. Dont let anyone tell you otherwise.

[@pauli7457]

Praying for you!⭐💖⭐

[@beautynscience2010]

Wishing you all the best and that the surgery goes well!!!

[@quasimodem5260]

Big of you doing this public; you don’t have to. I’ve known more than a few going through this kind of thing, one wonders how your own body doesn’t seem to be your friend at times.

[@valentina905]

Girl may God watch over you and heal you. I had 5 fibroids the largest was 18 cm the smallest was 5 cm. I have pics of them once taken out. They were Massive. You can do it! I will continue to keep you in my prayers.

[@valentina905]

And now I have a healthy beautiful 2 year old. Stay strong and dont give up hope! 🤍🙏🏿

[@thegeorgianna]

Prayers up 🙏🏾

[@tamcar04]

You got this mama....I'm praying everything goes well with your surgery

[@MsLiberianLady]

Wah I pray everything goes well and in your favor .. this is major but I am hopeful it’s going to be a smooth procedure. And your makeup is so pretty btw

[@WahimaLino]

Thank you so much!

[@quasimodem5260]

The whole thing of fertility is so incredibly overwhelming...and often not given it’s due. Seems only those closest to ourselves know, as if it is a secret, and we all have a story. With my childless friends it takes years before I ask whether it is by choice or not when I know so much about all of their struggles. I have been told that at one time someone who was struggling to have a child couldn’t look at me when I was pregnant; I wished we could have discussed it earlier. I just thought she hated me at the time. There is a lot to discuss. Nothing made me happier than realizing the support of your dad was with you. You are taking hold of your life and steering it as much as any of us possibly can. You must be on the recuperation trail, one hurdle down.....

[@bedeliadumaurier444]

Yeah, this makes me sad. It is not fair. How did anyone feel/palpate your abdomen during an annual exam and not feel these masses? That’s some « below the standard of care » practice BS. It doesn’t fix anything now, so I’ll pray this procedure will make your uterus a favorable environment for a baby to thrive and develop. Just showing your pre surgery MRI is enough to start the conversation. I am certain, someone has been moved to see/find out if there’s an issue and seek treatment. Thanks Wah. ❤️🙏🏻

[@chantalm3044]

Best of luck for your surgery, sending you light from the U.K. ✨ 🤍

[@asamoahselina8760]

Thank you very much ❤️❤️❤️

[@lepetitecherie]

Praying for you, sister.

[@ikealove9197]

Happy I found your channel you’re not alone I had a myomectomy in May to remove the fibroids got to the starting to stem part and have fluid in my uterus tried another cycle my estrogen was too high so I just said stop all medication we’re going to do this naturally and I’ll see what happens

[@aprillynn249]

I’m just wondering how the OB/GYN didn’t comment on anything whenever they did the annual internal exams. I had a cyst the size of an egg and my doctor felt that.

[@joyous1011]

Oh my Wah 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽 I have 2 fibroids that are both less than 2cm ,I cannot imagine 10!!! My whole heart is with you ❤❤❤❤❤ Although this news is beyond upsetting, I truly believe everything happens for a reason. You WILL have your miracle baby👶🏾👶🏾 Sending so much love and light my dear 💞 Prayers for a successful surgery ❤

[@OkaasansTarot]

I've had a hysterectomy before also and learned about my fibroids after complications from my IUD. I will be praying for your quick recovery and successful procedure!

[@devonisakson300]

[@WahimaLino]

Thank you so much!

[@Deidre1588]

Praying for you! I'm 35 and found out I have fibroids last year. I think the pandemic made things worse. I have an MRI in March. I was a little hesitant to watch because I was already triggered but I want to send you love and support and well wishes for a speedy recovery.

[@Hope_Rich-Ly]

Wishing you all the best. All will be well and at the end you will have your beautiful baby.

[@WahimaLino]

Fingers crossed!

[@keyshaA]

Thqnk you for sharing this journey with us. Praying for a safe surgery and recovery 🙏🏿❤.

[@shayshaybsn2444]

🙏🏾🙏🏾 prayers & positive energy to you Wah! I have 2 friends that had the lap myomectomy. One is still healing for her yr but the other healed up & was able to get pregnant right after her yr mark. She has a healthy baby boy who is one now 😊 I pray the same success for you.

[@monelwookie1]

Here to support and pray for you wah!!! You will make it through this 🙏

[@tiya.feneice]

Sending you prayers and positive vibes. In 2016 I found out I had about 10 fibroids, the biggest was about the size of a newborns head. I never saw my MRI and I'm so glad I didn't because honestly that was shocking. Thank you for sharing this journey with us!! Hopefully you have had your surgery and on the mend to your happy ending. You deserve it all :)

[@kynettasugar666]

Good luck in your journey and thanks for the education. I'm an expert in trauma and this can be so traumatic. Thanks again for your openness.

[@prettyprincess94602]

I had fibroids also. The difference is I had already had my children. I was in my 40s when I had to surgery to remove them. Once they got in there they realized it was worse than they thought. I had a partial hysterectomy. I’m praying for you because I know you want children.

[@bethgriesauer3825]

I really hope everything went well with your surgery yesterday. It must have been a big shock to see your MRI, but the body really does have an amazing ability to heal itself. If the uterus can carry up to 6 or 8 babies and shrink back down to normal size, it can heal from apple-plum-cherry-walnut fibroids.

[@telinhajp]

OK, I'll be sending you good vibes and positive energy on Friday, 12th, for your surgery. All the way from Japan 🗾! You can do it! Love you, Wah! ❤️

[@lostnspace001]

Wah I wish you all the best on your journey. When I heard I had a fibroid in 2010 I was told it was one big one. After that my period got worst and my anemia was bad. I tried to get pregnant the natural way but it didn't work. I had a myomectomy in 2013 and was told there were alot more than 1 and the surgery lasted longer than expected. I also found out that both my fallopian tubes were blocked. I tried to get onto IVF but my chances where under 10%. Eleven months after my myomectomy noticed the signs of the fibroids were back, heavy periods and my pica. I went for a scan and they found the fibroids but there were too much to count. I knew they might come back but not that fast. I can feel them and I see when they grow as my belly gets real big when its time to have my period. Now Im 45 and had to work through my issues on my poor planning and missed opportunity to have a child naturally. I would suggest once you have the myomectomy, I am not sure if anyone told you or you've already done your research but please change your diet to reduce the chances of the fibroids coming back. I think diet as well as stress has a lot to do with those fibroids growing as they feed off estrogen. I am cheering you on your journey and hope for the very best.

[@fusher5274]

Love the head wrap, Wah! Sending positive energy your way!

This is a beautiful community. I hope the surgery and your recovery both go well!

[@sbettieross1490]

Hi Wah👋. Wishing you luck with your surgery tomorrow. I never had children (my choice), but I have had laparoscopies, laparotomy, and hysteroscopy with D&C. Mostly all related to out of control ovarian cysts. I do have some fibroids. It sounds like you have a wonderful, thorough doctor, who will do everything to preserve your uterus, which is very important. Easy communication with your doctor doesn’t always happen, and you have it. They (clinicians in general) have to inform you of every possibility, however remote the possibility of occurring. Take care of yourself and rest as much as you are able today. Sending lots of love and prayers for a smooth surgery and recovery tomorrow 💕💕

[@bellebarbie8025]

Hoping your surgery went well. Girl I'm just as nervous but excited with you going thru this journey. Thank you for being so open with us. Waiting (not so patiently Lol) for your post op video. Girl we're totally rooting for you and hoping for smooth sailing from here on!👍🏽

[@FMFCS07]

You’ve got this Wah!! By now your surgery is done and I hope you’re recovering nicely :). Have you considered the “abridge” app? I use it for my grandparents who are aging - but for anyone going through medical stuff it’s a great app. You can record medical conversations (in case you forget or are emotionally overwhelmed at the time). It helps you remember and define medical terms and share your care with others if you need/want to. May be worth checking out given you’re documenting this process. Anyhow - I’m so stoked for your journey and can’t wait to watch you become a mama! Best of luck ❤️

[@mistressmandyz]

I so appreciate your honesty about your belly struggles 😩 I want to live in the future when I can love mine, too, but with a knarly case of diastasis recti after my two kids, I am so far from that 😔 Good luck on your journey! You'll make such a wonderful mom.

[@someblaqguy]

Oof, never ask anyone if they're pregnant or "how far along" they are. 😬 I made that mistake when I was younger and boy was I wrong. Turns out it was fibroids one and the same.
