Guest guest Posted May 4, 2004 Report Share Posted May 4, 2004 I am so glad there is a group like this! My name is Ruth, I am 33 yrs old and have a fibroid that has nestled itself at the top of my uterus and in the last month doubled in size.From 4cm to 8cm Last month the doctor was in the wait and see method, after he ordered an MRI and saw it had grown he immediately scheduled me for a consultation where we decided to do a myomectomy and I will be going under on May 26th. I am very glad we have sources out there online to help us to discover the truth about these nasty things and educate us. My doctor has been very supportive and I can only say that I feel lucky as before I could even ask, he told me that he was going to have a fertility specialist assist with him on the surgical team. My fibroid is at a precarious spot, and he is trying to conserve everything to help me to be able to conceive in the future. I am looking forward to shorter periods, no more ab pain, bloating and no more peeing every hour. I had thought I was the unusual girl with the " humming bird bladder " . Now I know that I am not alone. I am blessed, I mean BLESSED with a sweet, supportive, caring husband. I am currently trying to lower my sugar intake and my caffeine,as well as work out. Common sense is that muscles heal faster then fat so I am working out & doing crazy sit ups every day to strengthen my abs for surgery. Any other helpful advise, stories of pre-op and post-op? Thanks to all who posted recovery myo surgery stories....knowledge takes away the fear! Ruth Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
