Re: Upcoming Hysterectomy 2/23 - petrified
Marcia , thank you so much . That’s great advice . I’m going to really try to do that . I have no woman friends or family around . But I do call family out of state . Think a female here for support would really help . This website is great and so glad I found it .

Re: Upcoming Hysterectomy 2/23 - petrified
Your story sounds like mine. I was 51 and had several fibroids that my OB and I were monitoring for about 7 years. In the spring of 2019 I started noticing pressure on my bladder and my abdomen was distended but I hadn’t gained weight. A checkup with my OB showed my fibroids had grown and we decided a hysterectomy was needed. My OB informed me that the fibroids had grown so much, that he would not be able to remove my uterus vaginally, I would need an abdominal hysterectomy. I have never had children so I was scared to death, but he assured me my life would be so much better. I had it done September 2019 and was so happy I did. I am an anxious person and that morning I was unusually calm. Please don’t chicken out, you deserve to feel better and put this behind you. I kept my ovaries too, he said he wouldn’t know until he got in there and looked around to see how healthy they were, but he said he would do whatever he could so I could keep them. I wish you the best and you deserve to feel your best, you can do this.
