TAH: I'm a pms mess

55 yrs. old. Period until last month. Perimenopausal for yrs.
Recently dx with 6 fibroids and possible polyp. Biopsy this week. I feel like I have constant pms. Specific question: I get so bloated, look like I am pg. Cry at anything. honkerblonky, irritable. TIRED! Will be scheduling for hyst. hope to keep an ovary. Will this bloating stop? Am I going to feel better?

I am asking the same question bluegotn and it seems after this surgery even during recovery it seems most sisters feel better than they have in years.

I have been sleeping off and on every weekend and basically do not live anymore because of these guests in my uterus.

Welcome to the pms club!

For me, that bloating feeling is gone. My guess is it went with uterus. I had fibroids and a polyp in my uterus and a dermoid cyst on my right ovary (which was removed as well). I had my TAH on March 17 and I can honestly say that I have been feeling better than I have in a long time. I haven't been able to determine whether or not I have any pms symptoms anymore so I'm guessing in that case it can't be bad.

Oh Nap! I have found a hyster sister! And hey, I have one of those cysts on My r. ovart too. May I ask your age, if you have an ovary left or hrt? Were you done with your periods when you had surgery? I do think this is what I should do and all the friends I've talked that have had one feel better (though a lot of these posts look **** scary post-op). Also, I have a dog that looks sort of like yours, he is a lab/pitbull mix.

Thanks. It is so nice to feel this comradeship (now I'll probably cry over that!) I just want ME back, control of my bod. Some energy!

Hi bluegotn

All I know now is one fibroid was 7cm last year and I have a few smaller ones. I do not know what else is going on until she gets in there which makes me nervous. I do have sharp pains on my right side so it would not surprise me that something else is happening too. I also hope to keep one ovary at least. I just turned 41.

He is a seven month old 65 pound bulldog mix with possibly a pointer breed (we saw him point a few times) ??? We adopted him last november..

I have a biopsy scheduled this week. Did you have one of those? My doc also said she would have to look at ovearies once she got in there.
