Fibroids

[Electionbug]

Visit your doctor and they will give you the best advice. I have had fibroids myself, and they are difficult to deal with. Hang in there!

So I just had my 2nd sonogram and I'm waiting for those results too. My OB said I might have to get a Myomectomy. Anyone ever had one?

I've never had a Myomectomy, but I know what they are. Are your Cycles, or the pain hard on you? You can expect to be out of work for about a month, that is if you don't have to lift anything more than 4 pounds at work. There are a couple of different kinds of Myomectomies. The less invasive one is called Hysteroscopic Myomectomy, where they go in through the Cervix, verses the belly button (Laproscopic Myomectomy). So there will be a few questions you want to ask your Doctor before moving forword. Write them down so that you don't forget.

A friend of mine had fibroids and had a hysterectomy a few weeks ago and was out and about after only a few days. It depends on the extent of the fibroids and surgery and everyone's recovery period is different. Don't panic until you hear what your doctor has to say. Maybe you'll be one of the lucky ones!

I know its been a long time since I posted this but I hope some of you are still around. I just had a laproscopic myomectomy with a mini laparotomy. HOLY CRAP it hurts lol. Its been a few weeks. My fibroids were HUGE. They weighed almost 2 lbs and my minilap incision is almost 3 inches long. I'm finally feeling better.. different but better.

Anyone else have this surgery? I had mine done by a robot. Technology is crazy

I just caught this thread. I've been dealing with fibroids for a couple of years. Been in a wait and see. Thanks for the update. Hope you feel better soon.
