TAH/BSO upcoming - I don't know what to expect! (endo patient)
Hi to all you!
I have been suffering painfull periods from the time I first had a period, but like everyone else, thought it to be normal. About 3 years ago, after talking to my OB GYN about the pain and symptoms I was experiencing, he advised me that all my symptoms indicated "Endometriosis" and the only way to confirm this diagnosis was to have a Laparoscopy. I had the operation, and as he suspected, I have a severe case of Endometriosis!!! During the operation, I had lost alot of blood as he tried to clear away of it as much as he could, my bowel was stuck to my womb. Since then, I have found my symptoms to worsen, and my fear of having a colostomy bag (If my bowel is stuck yet again, only worse) have decided to proceed with the Hysterectomy. It's now 5 weeks to go until the op date, feeling very scared, unsure of where i'll be as I'll have to go onto HRT.

and
If you're feeling very scared, you're pretty normal. We all understand. It sounds like you've really been through a lot and I hope a hysterectomy helps you.
Welcome again! I hope everything goes well!
s, Deb

TAH/BSO upcoming - I don't know what to expect! (endo patient)
My TAH is scheduled for 9/17, I am somewhat nervous, but I trust my doctors completely. I somehow feel better having abdominal versus vaginal, something about it being a visual reminder to myself and especially my husband that do nothing means DO NOTHING. I have had 2 laparoscopies, one for endometriosis 30 yrs ago, tubal about 10 yrs ago. Although I will have the abdominal incision, it eases my mind that the doc will have a live look at what's in there and remove any scar tissue leftover. Keeping my ovaries, they're 52 yrs old and still healthy.
Good luck sister

Hi! My TAH/BSO is scheduled for 9/15. I am so anxious - the waiting is driving me crazy. Luckily, my hubby and family is being really great about everything. I wish I could stay calm like them. I think I'm just so ready to have it done that I'm counting the days. Plus, I'm anxiously awaiting the next arrival of Aunt Flo right now, which makes it worse. I was hoping to have the surgery before I got that monthly visitor again.
