Re: Re: Upcoming Surgeryg-Need Advice

Habon,

I have to agree with Elana. RUN!!! My doctor is doing the same exact thing. He

told me I needed to stay on the Lupron, because of the risk of a hysterectomy at

such a young age. On my last visit he told me that if he tried to do the myo

that my fallopian tubes would have just ruptured. Now after listening to the

women in this group, I've learned that he is a F***ing insecure LIAR. I hope

that I did not offend anyone.

I just wish that he would have sent me to a Dr. that was expirenced in myo . In

the beginning my fibroid was 10cm. He did an exploratory lap, to make sure that

it was indeed a fibroid and not something growing on on of my ovaries. Needles

to say there were complications with that surgery. Anyway I'm sorry I'm

starting get off the subject. Just remember RUN!!

RUN! Given what you have described, I say RUN FROM THIS DOCTOR as fast as

your fibroid-filled body will allow you to!!!!!

There is NO RUSH to do the surgery right away. You are 29 years old and want

children. IF this doctor messes up and does a hysterectomy, you will not

have another shot at the surgery. TAKE YOUR TIME and shop for a doctor that you

FEEL COMFORTABLE WITH.
