Guest guest Posted May 14, 2004 Report Share Posted May 14, 2004 Dear sisters, I will have my Myo this coming Wednesday and I went for my pre-op today. My doctor discussed the option for my incision. She will examine me when I am under anesthesia( because I could not stand the pelvic exam even with one finger, I am not married), then decide what kind of incision I need. Ideally, I will have a horizontal cut. But if she finds my uterus is big and my fibroid is high (she says I have a 20 week uterus), she will cut vertically. But if I insist to have a horizontal cut, she can do it at the outside but she will cut my abdominal muscle inside (actually, I don't quite understand this cutting). She said that I would feel uncomfortable longer. Does any of you have this experience of cutting the abdominal muscle? Any experience about vertical cut/ horizontal cut outside with abdominal muscle cut inside is appreciated. Of course, I wish I can just have a simple horizontal cut!

Guest guest Posted May 16, 2004 Report Share Posted May 16, 2004 Hi there, Do not worry about the type of incision because the healing process is the most important. If you take care - that is do not lift anything after the operation until everything has healed you will do fine. It is because most people begin their regular routine too soon that they have problem. There are many types of operations that require vertical incisions and still heal well. Good luck! Please let us know how it goes! " L. Wong " lwong9764@...> wrote: Dear sisters, I will have my Myo this coming Wednesday and I went for my pre-op today.
