's Lap/Hyst Results

[Guest guest]

Ladies-

Well, that was an experience! Everything went so smoothly, it was

almost scary! After a long talk with , I sent my RE another

long fax on Monday, reiterating all that I wanted to accomplish with

the surgery, and my preferences if he found the need to resect. If

you ever feel you 'forgot' to tell or ask your doc something...I

recommend the fax method! That way I never have to say 'what if I had

mentioned.... " It gave me great piece of mind.

Anyway, back to my story...bottom line...I am a fused UD, the left

uterus is smaller than the right, but RE thinks it would still be

viable in pregnancy, but he did keep referring to the right side as

the 'good' side. He said that there were two distinct uterine walls

backed up against each other. With, surprise, no

communication....yup, no hole. My RE said he wasn't sure what his

partner thought he saw, but there was no perforation, no hole between

the uteri. Good news.

He liked the way my cervices looked, but the left one is all crammed

up in there sideways - he didn't think that would increase odds of IC.

Both tubes are clear, ovaries looked great. I had quite a few

adheasions in the right uteri - which he fixed with the hysteroscope.

He also found what he called " a little bit " of endo, which he cleaned

up.

I am thrilled that my OB didn't perforate my uteri and then not tell

me about it, but I am glad it gave my RE a reason to do the lap/hyst.

You ladies can imagine the weight that is lifted from my shoulders in

knowing for certain that I am UD and not a complete SU bicollis. So

many years of questions - and now I know for sure. I know my war is

far from won, but boy do I feel like I won the battle!

As far as recovery, they had to make 2 extra incisions (I assume to

get the endo) but they are tiny. I am sore and suffering from the arm

pain that comes with the carbon dioxide...but overall I am doing great

(as long as I stay on the couch) He said I could go back to work

Friday if I felt like it, but my boss said I wasn't allowed in the

building until Monday. Since they didn't do any major construction or

reconstruction, we can ttc after once cycle!!!

As soon as I feel a bit better, I am going to go back through the

posts and catch up with everyone..I got behind after my appointment on

Thursday- I lost a little bit of my mind <grin>. I should have plenty

of time to catch up in the next few days. :-)

Thank you all for helping me get here...incisions or not, I feel great

and I thank the ladies of the board for helping me find the knowledge

to get the answers!

Back to the couch I go!

Fused UD (for sure)
