Hi Jasmine,

I'm glad that you got the responses that you wanted to help you make

your decision. I really think that you will be happy that you did

it.

I also wanted to say " Way to go!! " with the weight loss. It doesn't

sound like your dr is giving you much credit for what you have

already accomplished. I'm still really surprised with his amount of

concern over your weight. It just doesn't make sense. One of my

coworkers is having surgery next week. She will have a lap to remove

a cyst from her ovary. It will be done under general anesthesia and

she will have 3 incisions for the lap. She is 5'3 " and a little over

260 and her ob has not been concerned about her weight for this

procedure. I would think that her procedure would carry similar

risks as the lap/hys for resection.

Wishing you tons of luck with your surgery!

Hi Jasmine,

I am so happy for you that you were able to decide to do the surgery. I don't

get to read every day so I missed telling you how happy I am that I got

resected. I had many early mc and I now have a new hope that when I am pg again

it will be for good this time. Also congrats on losing weight. I know how hard

that can be. It seems as though your Dr is unneccesarily scaring you. I hope

not. You are doing great!!!

One thing I wanted to share is that I did not have the lap with the hyst and now

I really wish I had. I still wonder if I have endo or anything else I should be

worried about. I also did not have a follow up hysterogram(I think that is what

it is called) to make sure it was gone. My Dr did it during the surgery and I

got to see a picture briefly was I was still groggy from the anesthesia. It

would be more comforting to have had those two things. Just a thought for you as

you move foward:)

Sending you good vibes,

Kim

Wow, I'm so grateful for all of your answers.

(m/c, ttc mentioned)

It has been so helpful to hear from ALL of you. I was so excited to

go in for the surgery and meeting with the doctor had totally knocked

the wind out of my sails. It has been so helpful to hear all of the

input from all of you who have had the resection and also those of

you who haven't.

I spoke to my regular ob/gyn yesterday who has suffered 4

miscarriages but doesn't have an MA and she really feels that I

should have the surgery, no questions asked. She basically echoed

the opinions here that the risk of having something go wrong with the

surgery is so small and the chance of something going wrong with any

future pregnancies is so large. I do find it so much more helpful,

though, to actually hear from women who have had the procedure done

instead of a doctor who's read about it being done (my reg. ob/gyn).

As of today I'm planning on having the resection--now let's keep our

fingers crossed that the doctor doesn't scare the heck out of me at

the pre-op appointment!

Oh, and one more crumby thing, he says it will be ideal if I lose 5-

10 lbs. before the surgery One more thing to look forward

to...not! lol Diane, I think it's great your doctor isn't giving you

a hard time about weight, will he call my doctor? I'm 5'6 " and

weight 178. I've gone down from 204 over the past year which is

super hard especially with the PCOS! I'll give you my doctor's

number!

Good luck to all of you who are planning on getting the surgery,

those ttc, those who are currently pregnant, and the rest of you as

well!

Thank you so much XOXOXO

Jasmine

hi jasmine!

i'm glad all of our input has helped you out--and you are going

forward with the resection. my dr's have all been telling me to

loose weight too--but its been an ongoing thing!! i've dealt with

weight gain/loss my entire life and it never really gets me

anywhere. I'm 5'10 and weigh 250. because i'm tall i seem to carry

it all so well--and to be honest i'm one of those people who have

adjusted to the way my body is and i am happy with the way i am.

Yeah i can stand to loose about 50 lbs--and I ma trying but if it

doesn't happen oh well! that's how i look at it! I just had to let

some of that weight stuff out--I'm sorry! Best of luck with your

resection when you do have it done--I go for mine 3 weeks from

tomorrow(7/9/04). I'll keep in touch.
