Just curious about your comments. It really didn't bother me but I did get a few phones calls afterward from "well intentioned" friends.
He has an article posted on his website titled " The # 1 surgery women don't need. Hysterectomy"

Re: Did anyone see Dr Oz show yesterday?
Why are women listening to MEN about a female problem? I don't know. My doctor who is a man said there is no real reason to keep it when it is causing you problems. In my case I was done with it, no more kids for me just a lot of pain and bleeding.

Re: Did anyone see Dr Oz show yesterday?
Dr. Oz again???? Good grief!
During my initial recovery he did a show about the unnecessary surgery and had his audience full of women who regretted their decision. It had quite a few gals on the site all stirred up and upset. Making them question their decisions. I was quite irritated with that man at the time and still am to see his is still harping on this issue.
Please understand, this man is not a GYN. He is not your doctor. He does not know your case, your body or your situation. If you made your decision with much thought and consultation with your doctor, and you made it based on what you believe was right for your and your health, then do not listen to this TV doctor and stand firm in your decision.
I hate it when TV doctors get people all stirred up and worried about things, especially when it is not even their specialty.
Be at peace sisters. You made this decision because it was right for you. Don't let anyone make you feel like you made a mistake.

Glad I missed it!! I would like to know what he recommends then for adeno. I was bleeding so much and then the pain started. I bed bound from exhaustion. That's just not living. My friends and family needed me.

Re: Did anyone see Dr Oz show yesterday?
IMHO a reputable dr wouldn't perform the surgery without good reason. In my case, my dr explored every method of treatment and the only option for me was a hyst.

Re: Did anyone see Dr Oz show yesterday?
First of all I think he's a cardiovascular surgeon or something.. and a tv doctor! I could really care less what his opinion is of my surgery.. id prolly ask my dentist what she thought first! I agree that we all have been through enough that our doctor recommends one, and whatever the tv says does not change that. I wonder if he complains that viagra is the most over prescribed pill for men? It does irritate me because you know somebody watched it and could be thinking we just ran down to get a hyster for no good reason.. but on the other hand.. who cares! And btw.. its his exact mentality that keeps women like us suffering for so long! My family doctor told me for years that there was just nothing more we could do!
