Re: How to prevent needing another myo / Meetup guests?/More meeting?

> Carla, are you willing to share with us the names of the medical

guests who will be at the MeetUp? Also, I'm not sure I'll be able to

make it to the MeetUp, but I was hoping that Carla and some other

folks who come in from out-of-town might hang around for the evening.

Is that a possibility? I was even hoping we might have some meeting

with Carla either a day or two before or after the MeetUp. Are there

other folks who can't make it Saturday but would like to try another

meeting with Carla?

Well, Dr. Stanley West has definitely agreed to attend and an

interventional radiologist will also be there.

As for my schedule....sorry, but it's booked solid. I'm only in town

for a couple of days but have numerous business meetings scheduled

which will keep me running. I've blocked out 1-6 on Saturday for the

Meetup at the DT/UT Cafe but beyond that, I have other committments in

NYC that has me locked in. Sooooooo......I STRONGLY urge any/all of

you who can attend this event, to definitely attend it!

Also, we need at least 30 people to show up to break even on this.

Otherwise, NUFF will end up paying off the caterer out of our limited

funds -- reserving the meeting space/food/beverages is *fixed* and not

negotiable in price.

In addition to our guests, I will also be bringing some of our

handouts for everyone, a few door prizes -- including an LL Bean Bag

from Biosphere Medical that was donated last week -- and some of the

merchandise from the NUFF store...

I probably won't be back to NYC for another year or so after this

event....so, it's THE event to attend if you live anywhere near NYC!!!!

Also, for those of you who have figured out the Meetup site and their

messaging board, maybe some of you can look over the list of cities

and identify those in the NYC vicinity and post meeting messages to

their individual boards about this meetup in NYC??? Anything to get

the word out....

See you on Saturday!

Hi ,

Please share your " best surgeon " information or key knowlegde in that

area and inform the rest of us who these gifted surgeons are.

Thanks JanG

> Several of you have recently asked how to prevent needing a 2nd, or

3rd myomectomy. Nothing will really prevent it, but having a really

good surgeon perform your operation makes it more likely that all the

fibroids currently there are removed. Often women here have posted

that their doctor removed some of the fibroids, but were unable to

remove all of them. I've never heard of that happening with the best

surgeons.

Well I guess isn't keen on revealing her best surgeon info but

I'm still interested and waiting for that post.

I know I had the best surgeon.

Please do not forget that there are women with fibroids that don't

cause bleeding,/pain, or disfigurement but can be dangerously

blocking other areas of her anatomy from a surgeons view. My sole

reason for having a myo had nothing to do with fibroids.

I still have a few fibroids but I have my uterus, ovaries, cervix

and all that is good in the world because I'm alive and kept my

needed parts. Parts I need, parts I expect other women can do

without. I'm not at that stage in life.

I had a wonderful doctor and consider him to be excellent and the

best surgeon for me. My doc was one of 3 who would do my precedure

after a most extensive seach. I had huge fibroids.

My Dr. who may have left a fibroid or 20 behind may have saved my

life. I thank him in my prayers daily.
