Myo Report

[Guest guest]

Hello Group! Happy New Year! I wanted to update you on my Myo

that I had on 12/7. I was in the hospital for 2 days. I had 3 large

fibroids removed (2 grapefruit size). People think that is soo hard

to believe since I only weight 103lbs. They were on the outside of

the uterus but when the doctor went inside he had to cut the on the

inside of the uterus. He said that he wouldn't know this until time

for the surgery. Since that happened he said that I would have to

have a C section in the event I want to have kids. Prior to having

the surgery I was taking Lupron which worked to shrink the fibroids.

I had hardly any blood loss. The surgery took about 1 1/2 hours. I

was on a morphine pump the first day. The cather came out on the

second day and I was able to get up and walk around (slowly). The

pain was very uncomfortable when I had gas! Boy did that hurt. It

did ease up. I went in on Friday and was out on Sunday. I was

prescribed Darvecet for pain. I only took one since I had the

surgery. I was driving a week later. The surgery went well with one

exception. When the doctor removed the 3 fibroids, he said that

there were approximately 100 tiny ones left the size of his

fingertip. He said that he has never seen anything like this. He

also stated that he wanted to do a hysterectomy when he first saw

this (however, we didn't discuss this so he was not authorized to do

so). Now the problem is the 100 plus fibroids that are left inside.

Has anyone ever heard of this before? They aren't giving me any pain

and neither did the other ones prior to my operation. We are going

to wait until I heal from this surgery before making any decisions.

He doesn't know if they will effect my ability to have children. I

am 35 and don't have any yet. I have already had the stitches taken

out and the incision is barely there. I go back in 2 more weeks for

the next follow up before returning to work. I just wanted to update

the group. It wasn't as bad as I thought.
