Re: Hysteroscopic Resection Sched 5/4

April 28, 2004

Hi,

Many women say they feel like no pain after their resection, light spoting. Many

go out to dinner and resume normal activity as soon as the meds wear off.

I had a lap (gall bladder removed) and it wasn't a big deal. I did go home and

eat dinner. The incisions ARE covered by bandaids. I had 3 incisions. My navel

scar is inside my navel and you have to really look for it. My lap scars seem to

be thicker than my myo scar which is a fine line.

Neither of these procedures should scare you, they're not bad at all. I had my

gall bladder and myo surgery within a year.

Still ask for something to settle your stomach in your IV during surgery. Why

risk the meds upsetting your stomach.

Hello Ladies,

Thank you all for your great information, especially Sonja! I had my

second opinion with Dr. Chetkowski and he was wonderful, very

professional and informative. He answered my millions of questions

with clarity and patience. He suggested I have resection surgery to

remove my one submucosal fibroid. He doesn't think my intramurals

will pose a problem (with ttc). He does want to perform a diagnostic

laparoscopy at the same time to help with the procedure and check the

health of my tubes (there was a question after my HSG that I had a

blocked tube). After the surgery he said ttc for 6-12 mo. If I'm

still having problems ttc...then he said we'd consider a myo. Why not

be conservative? It makes sense to me. As excited as I was to hear

the news...now I'm really nervous! I know it's an outpatient

procedure...but what can I expect? They mentioned Laminera (sp?), a

seaweed like subtance they give you the day before to start

dilation? Have any of you had that? How will I feel after the

surgery? When can I resume regular activity? What about the

laparoscopy? He called the incisions " bandaid wounds " . Do I have to

worry about scarring under my navel? Any information would be greatly

appreciated!!! Wish me luck! And hopefully after all this, I'll

finally be able to get preggers! We'll see.
