Guest guest Posted February 5, 2004 Report Share Posted February 5, 2004 hi, i had a myomectomy several years ago and at my last gyno visit the doctor could tell their back! my stomach is large/bloated, i have no waistline. i can't even see my pubic area when standing up or sitting down! i'm only 38 and never had any kids and always had a nice waistline. now, i'm about to start dating/seeing a new man which i haven't been with anyone in a long time and is very embarassed/nervous about my figure. i'm thinking about getting the embolization to get my stomach down. the last doctor i saw said that when the uterous gets so big , it pushed the other organs up towards my breastbone which makes it look really fat. my bra doesn't lie flat in the front against my breastbone. is anyone having this problem? how soon do you notice a change in your figure after an Embolization? thanks ave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 6, 2004 Report Share Posted February 6, 2004 Ave, First of all, are you having fibroid symptoms such as heavy bleeding or bulk symptoms? I did a UAE 14 months ago to relieve the heavy bleeding, long period, clotting, etc. My stomach had grown too and I had put on some weight while dealing with the fibroid situation. But, I never would have done a UAE just to get my stomach down. And my abdomen never really went down after UAE, even though I got symptom relief. I started an exercise program and diet 3 months ago and lost 20 lbs. That got my stomach down. I know there are some women whose stomachs go down after UAE or myo, but everyone is different.
