Surgery on Sept 2nd
Hello!
I am scheduled for my surgery on Sept. 2nd and I'm getting pretty nervous now. Reading all of your posts and thoughts is really helpful though!
I am keeping my cervix, ovaries and tubes. My doctor recommended the uterus to go because of three very large fibroids. I really don't mind at age 47 I can do without periods, it'll be okay with me .
I've had two children, but never had a major surgery. Yet, I have seen this doctor at work on my own daughter though...that reassures me somewhat.
Anyway, I'll keep checking up on everyone's progress and keep you all posted on mine.
Thanks All...this is a great site!!

Re: Surgery on Sept 2nd
Goodluck I'm scheduled for an abdominal hysterectomy on September
8th. I'm nervous too. I'm having it done for fibroids too. I've had problems with my cervix in the past so they're taking everything except for my ovaries. I feel blessed that I have three beautiful boys already. Keep us posted on how it goes.

Re: Surgery on Sept 2nd
Thanks for responding!! I had to do surgery screening tests today which provides clearance for surgery from my primary care physician. EKG, xrays, urine and of course more blood tests! At this point I'm losing all inhibitions...LOL...by the surgery date I'll probably be numb. (smiles!)
Anyway, did your doctors speak to you about having reserve blood on hand just in case they need to do a transfusion?? I'm supposed to do it, that I'll be glad to provide! :-)

Hi Girls! I'm new here too and I am finding this a lifesaver! My TAH is scheduled for Sept. 8, also for fibroids...it's comforting to know that we are not alone Strength in numbers!!
