myo was june 2 in Santa

[Guest guest]

Hi,

I had my myo on Wed June 2 which means tomorrow it will be two

weeks. I cannot believe how well I am doing and feeling. I thought

this was going to be like a c-section but this was totally different!

I attribute my success to mostly my awesome Dr. He really went the

extra mile in so many things, for instance:

1. He had those leg massagers on my legs to prevent blood clots

2. I got the morphine button

3. He took out all the scar tissue from my previous 2 c-sections

4. He tied my stomach muscles together that were starting to

separate and could have led to a hyrnia (sp?) so I got a mini tummy

tuck!

5. He had a catheter inserted in my incision that dripped a numbing

medication for three days so my incision didnt hurt at all. And by

the time he took it out I didnt feel much pain at all.

I was up walking the first day. I am trying to take it easy, but I

went to the movies this past weekend and out to dinner. I can bend

over and squat. I have so much energy that I have to tell myself to

stop and sit down. I even mopped my kitchen floor on Saturday (june

12).

I also did a lot of excersising for about a month and half before the

surgery and I think that helped alot too. I walked 2 miles a day 6

days a week and lifted light weights so I would be strong.

This is not to say that I would want to do this again, but it was

just alot easier than i expected. My Dr. who was recommended to me

by a gal here in the group and who was recommended to her by Dr.

West, and he is supposed to be the best in the west and I can attest

to it.

BTW I only had one fibroid but it was the size of a giant melon. I

only lost about 6 pounds though. I hope and pray you all have the

same success I have had, and I hope my recovery continues at the same

pace.

Overall two things were key, great Dr. and exercise before hand.

Love to all,

ps

I live about 2 hours away from my Dr. but he was worth the drive.

Anyone in the L.A. area wanting a good myo Dr. let me know. When it

comes to your health dont settle for a mediocre Dr.
