Hysterectomy and acid reflux
Has anyone out there had experience with their acid reflux subsiding after hysterectomy? I was scheduled of a hysterectomy on 1/22 and back out at the last minute. I have very large fibroids and a very, very large uterus, but I'm pretty much asymptomatic. My only physical complaint is occasional acid reflux, which my doctor says will be helped by the hysterectomy. He was very upset when I canceled the surgery, and I'm wondering if what is said about the hysterectomy helping the acid reflux is true or if he was just trying to persuade me to go through with my surgery. You see, I live in an area with a greater population of under 100,000. My doctor, by his own admission, performs three hysterectomies a week. That sounds to me like an awful lot of hysterectomies for a town my size... I don't know whether or not to believe him.
Thanks for any feedback.

Hysterectomy and acid reflux
Dear April - I suffered with acid reflux before my surgery due in part to my uterus being so enlarged. I have to say that since my surgery the acid reflux has been greatly reduced! I only have it once or twice a month now at the most. Good luck! Hallie

Hysterectomy and acid reflux
Based on the information in your signature, my uterus is about the same size yours was. I'm struggling with this decision, so I'm glad to know it helped.
