  • Hey Guy,
    I am back in action! lol I know it's been a minute, but I've had some adjustments to make. I'm beginning to feel more and more like myself which has been awesome. In this video I'm giving you all some insight into my recovery as well as next steps for us. Spoiler Alert, it's not what you think :/
    Thank you guys for all of the love and support. This has definitely been an interesting journey to say the least. One that I wouldn't wish on anyone...

    Thanks for sharing and well done on prioritizing what's important to you at this time. Your recovery journey sounds really positive and your positivity is contagious. My myomectomy surgery is scheduled for less than 3 weeks time and I'm hopeful that the procedure and recovery all goes better than my expectation.

    Thanks for sharing! I just had my surgery on September 17, and my experience sounds somewhat similar to yours. I was cleared to workout at about 4 weeks however. I have now since started jogging while wearing a belly binder, but I did start by walking for at least 15 minutes everyday at week 3. I’m still experiencing some numbness above the incision, but for the most part it has not been that bad of a recovery.

      I can't wait to get more active. Unfortunately, my laziness stretches far before my surgery date lol I've got a lot of work to do. I never thought about wearing a belly band! I have one meant for C-Sections and a new waist trainer. I might actually try that and see if it gives me the support I need. Well I'm glad to hear your recovery went well! I'm so glad we can just knock this off the list for 2020! Have a good week :)

    It's not that you are out of shape but it seems to be a part of abdominal surgery. I has a thing to practice taking deep breaths those first two weeks. I was so surprised at how shallow my breathing was post surgery. I would do my 15 minute walks 3x a day. When I pushed myself I would spot. I'm proud of you for pacing yourself and listening to your body. I was a little hard headed. Although I could move around it took a while to regain the core stamina to sit up. I had to gradually build back up to it in weeks 4-5.
    After 6 weeks I started walking 2 miles every other day then I gradually increased to 3 and then I started working on speed and improving my breathing again. I am still working on stamina.
    I completely understand putting your marriage first. I was cleared at 3 months. We did a Letrozole/trigger shot/timed intercourse cycle and it was a lot. Tons of appointments. We haven't been back to the doctor since and that was 2 cycles ago. Will be praying for you guys and hoping for the best!

    • @tianasmith8955

      Hey. I've never heard of having to get an epidural for a myomectamy! It must have something to do with where your fibroids are located maybe? Or the size? My anesthesia was through the IV in my wrist. I didn't realize there were options. You should voice your concerns. It might just be a personal preference of your doctor's and not necessarily a necessity🤷🏽‍♀️ When is your surgery? I'll pray for you.
