pre-op this Friday
Hi ladies! What a joy it has been to find this site! I have been reading messages here for the last 2mths. while deciding to have the hyster or not. I have gained alot of information to help me make a decision. When I first went to my dr. I was not prepared to hear that I might need a hyster. I went for another problem, and after an exam he scheduled an internal ultrasound to check the possibility of a fibroid. Boy, was I in for a shock to hear I have a ovarian cyst that requires removal of the ovary. My dr. has been a dear. He has let me ponder many choices, but only one takes care of the cyst- an abdominal incision so he can remove it whole. Of course, I have multiple fibroids that cause me to be anemic. Like so many of you, I experience heavy!!! bleeding and cramps, with back aches and an altered lifestyle to compensate for the long periods. At first, I said I was not going to have the surgery, but after much prayer and hearing you discuss what it is really all about, I am scheduled for the hyster on April 1- and it is no April Fool's! Thanks for all the info about the pre-op. I am hoping to get to keep the right ovary if it is healthy. I agree that waiting is the hardest once you make a decision. I will post again after the pre-op, because I know I will have questions that you will be able to help with.
TAH with removal of left ovary(5cm cyst) and multilple fibroids causing 11 wk size uterus, anemic since 1984

Hi, I agree that making the decision to have a hyst can be a BIG decision and hard to make sometimes. It sounds like you took the time to make sure that it's what's best for you.
Best wishes on your pre op Friday, they're usually fairly easy.
Would you please go to your profile and add your surgery date? That way, you'll be included in that day's best wishes.
