Uterine Fibroids: Pre/Post-Surgery Experience 3 of 4

This is the FIRST part of a detailed account of my experience after my fibroid surgery. Feel free to ask any questions that you have below. I will be doing my 8 month follow up video very soon, so I'll try to answer any questions you might have. Thanks for watching!

[@livingnactive]

That was such a helpful account of your fibroid removal surgery. I just had a myomectomy and found a lot of parallels with your experience. Glad you had a positive outcome in the long run. Giving thanks here too! Take care.

[@bellabluu1279]

I just had my surgery a week on Monday and I must say I'm sorry your experience was bad. My experience was amazing! The surgical staff was so hospitable and answered every question I had. I had a private room and was constantly being checked on. I was really happy with my whole process. I made it awake to the OR and remember asking the anesthesiologist assistant who gave me a sedative, "did you just give me something?" AA: "yes" Me: "this stuff is awesome" lol! I was made to walk the second day and was very dizzy but the pain wasn't so bad. The catheter removal was not pleasant but it wasn't as bad. and I had a bit of a delay in my being able to urinate. it's been a week since, and I still have a little issue. with the actual flow to start. I can't wait to fully heal. Glad the outcome of your surgery was successful.

[@jonesyjo1865]

Thank you so much for your video. I had my myomectomy last week on Oct 6th and I could identify with your experience. I had tried an embolization in Feb 6th and that experience was 10x worse than the myomectomy.

[@Iceis_Phoenix]

I had two surgery for one 6 centimeter fibroid. I was in terrible pain. I feel so much better. no pain after my myomectomy. I am blessed. I was treated very well. I was given hot tea and juice and very caring people.

[@rondas7772]

Opulence Phoenix thanks, I'm kind of scared about the after pain

[@desariec]

that is just outlandish what them hospital nurses was not doing for you, just glad you had a good outcome in spite of it all, gotta soon have this surgery myself, i already had a polymectomy.

[@confused_teddy]

Having this surgery in a week,thanks for the heads up!

[@Chaya4lyf]

Found out last week I will need surgery, thanks for sharing your experience, its very helpful.

[@melissadubar1679]

thank you so much for posting this. my surgery is scheduled... and I am freaking out. this was a very honest realistic take, and it has been very helpful.

[@lyfeunexpected]

I'm so glad this was helpful for you. How did your surgery go?

[@melissadubar1679]

It went really well! All your tips were right on time and I feel 100% better now.😀

[@soserene6107]

Omg so glad my experience was nothing like yours! I had very little pain after surgery. Agree with the laziness of hospital staff, maybe understaff and overworked.

[@hellishqueer]

Thank you for this. I plan on getting this done soon because my fibroid has been extremely painful. This sounds scary, but I think it'll be worth it to not have to deal with my fibroid anymore. It's been really interfering with my life.

[@lyfeunexpected]

Good for you! I definitely have no regrets. Let me know how things go for you. :)

[@meshelltaylor72]

This video was so helpful. Ijust started my process in seeing a specialist for my hysterectomy. I'm on my 3rd doctor's visit, this for tomorrow 9-06-2016 is to receive an iron infusion. My scheduled surgery will be appointed the same office visit. I plan on asking lots of questions and taking in as much info as possible. Thanks so much for sharing!

[@lyfeunexpected]

Once I start/finish having kids, I definitely plan to get a hysterectomy as well. Please share your experience with how that goes over for you. Would love to know.

[@nikkinikki1857]

I loved this video because she told me what to expect I have been looking for a video but a lot of women get side tracked looking at themselves or going off topic grrrr

[@lizanderson3474]

omg thanks for this video! I wouldnt have thought about not being able to move to that extent without severe pain. Also didn't know the specifics like the catheter and not being able to eat.

[@micabanton7721]

Thanks for sharing your experience!! It really helped!! :)

[@flanmaryj]

Thanks for the video. I'm looking i to my options.

[@erikafountain4757]

Thank you for sharing your story

[@gr8grl92111]

Thank you for these! My surgery is next Monday.

[@BLUJAI100]

I can’t believe they didn’t use a sheet to slide/transfer you to the other bed. That’s usually how they move you after surgery

[@rahulrah3876]

There are a few tips for relieving fibroids at home Avoid exposure to pestides in food and other and pollutants Make sure you consume enough fruit and vegetables. Take vitamin C Use herbs which cleanse the liver including milk thistle (I read these and why they work from Kadyn Home Remedy site )

[@darqchild69]

I'm so sorry to hear about your post op experience. I did not trust any of the surgeons in my area so I went out of state for the open myomectomy. I remember my throat being so dry due to the tube they put down my throat. I was downing water like there was no tomorrow. Luckily they inserted the catheter while in surgery. Like you I had no appetite, but I ate lightly like chicken broth and jello. Moving around was hard at first, but got through it. Things got a little better day by day.

[@lyfeunexpected]

Thanks so much for sharing your experience. May I ask where you decided to get your surgery done. I might have to have another one in the near future (smh), so just curious.

[@darqchild69]

I reside in Connecticut, but traveled to Maine for the surgery. The gynecologist/surgeon's name is Anne Rainville. I liked her because unlike the other doctors I have seen, she is interested in saving women's uterus, if it's possible. Please keep in mind that because several fibroids were left inside because of where they're positioned, but I no longer have heavy periods and palm sized clots.

[@starlenekelly7222]

I feel you sister , I had 5 or more fibroids remove . I was conscious after they gave me sedatives. until i was strung up..am happy I did.. am 12 days post op...

[@kgab4127]

Totally crazy they made you move yourself!! I was moved by two nurses and there was no way I was going to be able to do it myself. Sounds like they made a really dumb decision and I understand why you are upset about it! xox

[@cynthianinson7919]

Thanks for the video

[@DrBeeSpeaks]

Me too yes...I remembered nothing....I woke up in my private room. I didn't even recall the "recovery room" I don't even think I went there....lol I had really good drugs though. They moved me from one bed to the next (in my private room). I woke up with a catheter. I had a great team of doctors and nurses.

[@starlenekelly7222]

Netta2. me too. i knew i was in the surgery room . them back in my room no pain , just knowing there was a incision there. I was treated really nice had nurses 24-7 and i walked a few hours after surgery....am 12 days post op..recovery nicely...

[@sonya-brownskin]

I had my surgery on Sept 11th 13. U are so on point with the whole experience. I am 3 month post op. I am experiencing a lot of cramping doing ovalation time. It feel like knives? Are u experiencing anything like this?

[@traac3112]

Thank you

[@crystalwhite8418]

The scraping of the mouth probably happened during tracheal intubation. I was told that it was a possibility during my myomectomy, but thank god it didn't. We had very similar experiences. However, I think my experience was a little more pleasant.

[@seaseaseah9901]

Thanks for sharing....13 Fibroids bless you man bless you! Ive had a dermoid cyst removed 10 years ago and now I have a fibroid that has grown twice the size ...so back to he operating table again :(

[@lyfeunexpected]

How did your surgery go?

[@seaseaseah9901]

It went well but...guess what another came back after two months. I am having a check up in Jan to see whether it has decreased in size fingers crossed!!!

[@DuWop78_kc]

Please notify when you post your fourth video; I don't see it. Pray all is well.

[@arthurccy-3873]

here's several suggestions for treating fibroids at home Avoid exposure to pestides in food and other and pollutants Ensure you eat enough fruit and vegetables. Make sure you have enough vitamin C Use herbs which cleanse the liver such as burdock root (I read these and why they work from Kadyn Home Remedy website )

[@DrBeeSpeaks]

Also they gave me something for nausea prior to giving me anything in my IV.

[@1980tricia1980]

Oh my I'm glad I didn't watch this before my surgery I wouldn't have did it 4/5/17 the staff was wonderful but I had a laparoscopic supracervical hysterectomy and it was out patient went in at 5:30am 2 hrs before surgery was home about 5pm

[@MissJhane]

I am getting a laparascopic myomectomy. I wonder what is the difference with a regular myomectomy?? Do you know the difference? I see this is an old video

[@annomaly751]

Jeanica how did your laparoscopic myomecty* go? Hope recovery wasn’t too bad.

[@kjr6372]

Let me tell you, I had a myomectomy, and when I got to my room, 2 persons moved me from the gurnee to the bed. That was pain beyond pain. I still remember the guttural sounds that I made. I also remember the look on my mom's face as she saw me in pain. Not good. Also, why, why, why must they have us wake in recovery to all that pain? I felt like I was being gutted alive! Seriously. That pain was just plain bad. I can't talk about it to this day without contorting my body as I remember. That was 2010. Now in the next few weeks I go for the UFE, as fibroids are back. Oh well.

[@annomaly751]

KJ R did you have the open myomecty or laparoscopic myomecty? Sorry hear about your hard recovery :/

[@JourneyToBabyALovStory]

Wow that's crazy how that hospital was. I made it to the OR awake :) and the hospital I was at was amazing. I woke up in my room with a cath, and I had a morphin pump.. the stockins they have on you itches like no bodies business lol.. If you didn't you should file a complaint against that hospital.. Well anyway im glad your ok...

[@tamaradavis732]

just did my surgery experience was not so goodand, in the recovery room didnt feel much pain, my wound was so neat until one part start leaking ..when the doctors looked at the leaking, it hurts so badly, because they had to open up my wound to drain the fuel out. ..now i have this open cut that i of to be dressing every other day, i am so scared ,really dont want to do this again...

[@lyfeunexpected]

Oh my goodness! I hope everything ended up going okay for you. That sounds scary.

[@annomaly751]

how’s your health now Tamara?

[@ReleaseAndBe1]

Did they give you staples? I am on the fence about surgery. I am trying the natural way to shrink them.

[@lyfeunexpected]

No, I had stitches. My mom had to get staples for a procedure she just had though and from what I saw,…I will never want to get them if I can help it.

[@latoyajames7955]

yes I had to drag myslef from one bed to the other with no help and all I felt was in so much pain. I was out of it to.

[@lyfeunexpected]

That is ridiculous. I definitely regret not complaining about that later to the staff. It just isn't right to make patients do that in my opinion. smh

[@jessybelle]

omg....that hospital staff doesnt sound good at Alll......Thanks for the info, was very informative and helpful, although it sounded like you through alot of discomfort. Thanks for your video.

[@lyfeunexpected]

Yes, I definitely did. I'm still glad I did it though. Best decision ever! lol

[@olubunmioluyede9613]

I am sorry for the bad experience. But I would like to comment on the pain medicine, if the pain medicine is ordered as needed, it is your responsibility to ask for it when it is due. How ever, the nurse can still come in and ask you if you need the pain medicine.

[@janazaimi8966]

Very helpful thanks a lot. I have to go through all you have but what is making me worried is that fibroids can easily grow again once you had myomectomy especially to those women who have multi fibroids which I have. I am so scared and doubtful .

[@lyfeunexpected]

I agree. You are so right. I still continue to deal with these fibroids girl. l don't regret having the surgery though because the fibroids eventually grow bigger and become more painful. Over time they start to bring about other issues, so I have to get rid of them. It definitely sucks.

[@annomaly751]

lyfeunexpected how are you doing now with your fibroids?

[@kimonatin9680]

I always tried avoiding operation while strive to reverse all the related symptoms of fibroids as surgical procedure is dangerous and scares me very much.

[@kimonatin9680]

[@kristenakrist1984]

Hey so sorry they didnt move you to the bed and that you had to do that yourself! I hope they dont do that to me. I am supposed to have an abdominal myomectomy probably after June.

[@godschild2012ful]

Me I was up all night and same thing for me. I saw docs and then they woke me up and said I was dine

[@annomaly751]

damn is the pain that bad? Poor thing. How ur health now?

[@keikeihunter3554]

With this process are you still able to have children?

[@weslyne2412]

they told me its part of the procedure the moving part

[@Peppermintmocha13]

What kind of post op wrap did you wear after your surgery?

[@chrism364]

La-Kia Kommeren has lease let me know when you find out

[@kkkkk6374]

What is Womezon Remedy and how does it work? I hear many people cure their fibroid issue naturally with this fibroid treatment.

[@EmailgroupieESLEducation]

The reason they make you move is because they lift people all day. If you can move then you move. If you don't move then they do it. I work in healthcare lol

[@sumanayashinsky7174]

Why didn't they give you pain medication ? That's brutal :O

[@chrism364]

Your very pretty Trust in God for everything. They put a breathing tube in I wonder if that’s how your mouth got scraped you can inquire if that was it

[@rudyvance7463]

What is Womezon Remedy and how does it work? I hear many individuals cleanse their fibroid issue naturally with this fibroid remedy.

[@emilyburke7255]

Avoid saturated fats, sugar, caffeine, alcohol and junk foods, all of which may contribute to estrogen dominance. I consider these anti-nutrients, which impact fertility negatively. >>>>>>>>>>>>>
