Vlog | Preparing for Surgery - My Myomectomy Experience
Вставка
- Опубліковано 26 сер 2024
- I wanted to share this vlog in case there is anyone out there contemplating having the same procedure, or preparing to have this procedure in the hopes of easing some of the anxiety I had going into it. As of the date of this upload I am just under a month out of surgery and feeling good about the decision I made to have this procedure done.
I am having a myomectomy tomorrow and how you describe your anxiety and wanting to cry is exactly how I feel today. Just started to cry while writing this
This is me right now I have mine in 2 weeks 😢
I promise you guys I have no regrets.
How are you how it went?
@@datnursenicky3022 it went really well. It was robotic myomectomy, and the fibroid was outside of my uterus. They didn’t need to cut into my uterus to take it out. So, I recovered very easily and fast. Didn’t experience much vaginal bleeding. I mean I had pain in the surgical area and I was walking very slowly for about a week or 10 days. Felt like myself more towards the end of the second month. It was very much worth it.
@@gizemcavuslar6218 glad you get relief of it and recovering pretty well. My biggest one 11 cm is outside the uterus thank God, with few smaller ones and an intramuscular one. I will be taking these out soon...my doctor want me to take Oriahnn but instead of stopping the bleeding it makes me bleed I am concern because both my ob/gyn said I should continue taking it until it’s use to my body. Did you have to take anything to shrink yours?
LaTawnya you are amazingly honest and beautiful. Don’t ever lose hope of having a children or becoming a mother! Tamryn Hall had a baby at 48 and she calls her a miracle baby. I glad all went well with your surgery, sending love, prayers, and good vibes your way! I’ve had 2 kids via C-section and a breast augmentation. All those surgeries had me nervous but God is greater than all our fear and doubt. Keep posting updates about your middle school journey. Thank you for making videos and representing women, especially women of color!!!
Thank you for such sweet words. I will continue to work on staying positive and optimistic about having a family of my own someday.
I am thank God that my surgery went well and that my recovery continues to be smooth. I will keep sharing my teaching journey with you all for sure.
I’m so glad your surgery went well! I can understand being nervous. I’ve had 3 c-sections and was terrified with each one! I think it’s more of a control issue or lack of control that makes me nervous. Also happy to hear you love your new school! I can’t wait to see how you’ll decorate your room! Happy Sunday! 😊
I totally agree that it is the fact that there is an element of control that you have to surrender. Also, for me it was the unknown since I had never had surgery before.
There is nothing like the feeling of being in the right school, with the right age level, teaching in the right subject areas. Good success to you in middle school!
So true! It has been a while since I felt like I was right where I needed to be. Praying that this feeling lasts forever.
So glad to see that you are well on your way to recovery! You have been on my mind. On May 16th I celebrated the 2nd anniversary of my hysterectomy (cancer). Thankfully, I have a clean bill of health and didn't need further treatment. Although I had it done by minimally invasive surgery, recovery was not "easy". Your body will truly tell you what it wants to do. Everything you experienced before the surgery was perfectly normal and common to the experience. Anxiety and tears spring up from a variety of emotional sources. The "nesting" is both soothing and necessary. My house was the cleanest and most organized it had been in a long while, LOL. Looking forward to more good reports on your recovery in the coming weeks. Peace and blessings!
Congrats on your clean bill of health! That is great news! I felt like mentally I was all over the place in the couple of days before surgery. I think I was also subconsciously keeping myself busy in order to avoid thinking about the surgery too much. Thanks for watching and the sending your blessings!
YT4Me57 it’s almost your 3rd anniversary of your hysterectomy. Hope your health still well. Every day we have is a gift
Can you believe it’s already been a year almost since your surgery? What a journey you’ve been on. Glad you made it through the other side 🙌💪
Anne hard to believe, but I’m thankful it was a success. 💛
Thanks a lot for this. I've been waiting 3 years thanks to the pandemic and private healthcare refusing to treat in the UK because it's now too complex. I should have the surgery this year. My womb is like a 24-26 weeks size now. I'm just trying to stay as fit and healthy as I can and hope I get to keep my womb.
Hey so sorry to hear this. Im in the UK too, did you go Private? London Gynaecology Clinic is really good, Mr Pisal is very good for complex situations. Also Mr Stephen Quinn at St Marys Hospital in London, he's an expert & St Marys Hospital in Paddington is a specialist fibroid centre in the UK you can be referred there. pls look into it if u havent already. Wishing you well❤
Hey! Glad to hear from you! Fibroid embolization is the procedure you were discussing. I have to have that in lieu of a partial hysterectomy. Unfortunate choices to make. I'm so glad you have the opportunity to save your fertility.
I had to watch this vlog 2x before commenting. I saw the time stamp and had to clear my schedule so I could get comfortable lol. I admire your honesty. I'm glad that you're currently on the mend. You're a true talent. Thank you for sharing your journey with us. I stan. 🙌🏾
Lol! Glad you found a comfortable spot to watch. Thank you for the kind words and words of support.
Give thanks for a successful surgery, La Tawnya. And thank you for being transparent about your anxieties and misgivings. Truly. I think this kind of openness is what we need more of in the world to cultivate understanding and tenderness amongst each other. I think historically speaking, we've been conditioned to 'keep it together', because we're afraid that people will pity us, dismiss our genunine concerns, or think us a bother with our worries that we rather struggle and suffer in silence than face the possibility of deprecation and rejection from others . . . It's wonderful that you already you feel like where you're meant to be at your new middle school. Wishing you a continued smooth recovery, and an exciting transition from 3rd to 8th grade! (By the way, the urinal sample story was hilarious! 😅)
Thank you! For what ever reason, I feel comfortable about sharing my true thoughts and feelings about things. I think I do it because I know others are feeling the same things and I know there is comfort in not feeling like you are the only. Thanks for your kind words and thoughtful input. I agree with much of what you said. We have to allow ourselves not to have it together every now and then. Thanks for watching!
I'm so glad everything went well and I pray that you continue to recover nicely. Looking forward to your summer videos!
Thank you and I will see you soon!
So glad it went smoothly and you are healing up!
Thanks friend!
Thank you for sharing your thoughts and experiences. I pray for your recovery to be swift.
Thank you!
Thank you so much for sharing your story. I have my surgery next month and I feel so anxious about it. Watching your story makes me feel better! Thank you 💜
Omg the urine sample story had me cracking up. LOL I hate having my blood drawn and doing urine samples too! I feel you!
Lol! I was mortified on so many different levels.
@@SmartieStylelr I totally get it! I learned at a young 24 to accept health stuff... that happens when you have cancer. I never accepted the blood and pee parts. Lol
Me too
I’m glad your surgery went well. I lived fibroids and polyps for years. I had 2 surgeries to scrape out my uterus but my doctor didn’t feel the need to remove them. They finally started causing so much pain and heavy bleeding that I ended up having a partial hysterectomy.
I'm so sorry for you! I'm finding that many women are going though the same thing but for whatever reason we don't talk about it so we end of feeling alone.
I hope that you are feeling better now.
Missmeliss how are you doing now? Sorry you had to go through the partial 😢but i know your stronger then you think you are 💪 one day at a time
Thank you for sharing your journey. I am so glad everything was successful and you will be going to a great assignment next school year.
On another note, I have also made the decision to no longer attend church. As an African American woman it is a VERY lonely decision, but for me it has been the right choice. I am a faithful Christian but I have chosen a different journey. Would you ever be interested in doing a vlog or post about that topic? If not, that's fine. I know it can be a sensitive topic. Either way, I'm glad you're ok and I hope you enjoy summer break!
I am not African American but we have stopped attending regularly recently as well. If I had kids I would probably attend but as 40 somethings with no children, we find it hard to connect with others and truly feel more fulfilled watching it online and going to sit on the beach to admire God's creation.
I have never thought about doing a video on that, but it could be interesting. I know the idea of people attending church online has been a popular topic of discussion lately.
What Christians must understand that we are the church or the body not the building. It is much better to be added to be added to that one body ( Acts 2:47, Ephesians 4:4-5, Colosians 1:18). Also in Hebrews 10:25- it tells Christians to nog forsake the assembling of ourselves together as some do. So although online service may be popular it is important to see what the word of God has to say about the subject. - Church of christ member.
2 hour surgery is no joke! Give yourself time to heal. I hope you feel better once you’re all healed. Prayers for you 🙏🏻
Yes, I do have to remind myself that I had major surgery. I think that I tend to underplay it and the recovery process at times.
I'm glad that it went well and I wish you a healthy recovery. God bless your mum, brother, family and friends who are by your side.
I am lucky to have the family and friends that I do.
I’m so glad you’re sharing your story.I’m having my surgery I the morning. Best wishes to you
So glad to hear from you and that your recovery is going well.
Thank you!
I am so glad your doing got!😊 I can’t wait for future vlogs
See you soon!
I remember using Neosporin Scar Solution Sheets (I think that's what they were) once I was all healed from my surgery and my stitches were removed. So much of what you experienced reminds me of what I experienced. Glad that you are recovering well!
I will have to look into those, I have been using the Aquafor and a scar oil that I found at Target. Hopefully, it does the trick.
The reel of Riley and Genesis was a joy. They are adorable. Glad to know your surgery went well. Continue to follow doctor's instruction and you will heal well. God Bless
Thank you!
Yay! Glad to see you are doing well after your surgery and also a long vlog... just the way I like them!!
Good to be back. Hope you enjoyed the vlog!
Thanks very much for sharing Your journey. Thanks to God your surgery went very well successfully and you’re recovering very well. I will be going for Myomectomy surgery Next month October and I was just looking for some tips And what to expect . Your video was very helpful , Stay bless and thanks Sis.
Glad to know that you’re doing well! 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
I am thankful to be doing well and to have such a great support system.
Thank you for being kind enough to share this with those that may have to experience it. You did great with this video and your advice, and so glad for you that you got this taken care of!
Thank you! I am happy that you found this vlog a little helpful. Have a great week!
Hey! I will be thinking about you and praying for you! My birthday is this Friday and I’ll be turning 18! 😊❤️ ❤️Aaron
Thank you and Happy Early Birthday!
Wow, can you believe you’re almost a month post surgery! Happy that you’re recovering nicely. Here’s to getting stronger each day!☺️
I know! The weeks have flown by. Just glad to start feeling like myself and getting back to my normal routines.
My surgery is scheduled on the 23rd. I have 3 to 4 weeks to prep for this. I do not feel like even that is enough time. Leaving for a vacation in 2 days...not packed uet because of anxiety regarding surgery. Glad this video is on here! Hope there are more follow up videos to determine what are best forms of mental preparation as possible! I will appreciate any tips & etc! Thanks!
i had the shrunken down procedure and it didn't work. if it does it doesn't last. i really regret it. i got laparoscopic fibroid removal on dec 31 2020 and i don't regret it. my surgery was at 6am and everything went smoothly. i have 4 incisions.
i agree. i am not ready to get a hysterectomy and this felt like the right decision. no more back pain, bloating, frequent urination, etc.
*Nothing can compare the joy in my
heart for being free from this terrible
disease fibroids, for 2years I suffer
from it not until I saw a review on
how Dromocure on UA-cam Cured

Thank you for your transparency. I’m feeling everything you describe as I prepare for surgery I’m August. It’s very scary and I feel like I have so much to do to get ready. Thank you for being candid.
You will be fine. I’m so happy I had the surgery.
So glad all is well and your experience was as positive as it could be! I am excited to follow your journey to Middle School as well!
There is so much unknown about next year, that I think it is going to be fun to share with you all.
I had this surgery and it is so surreal how you experience so much of what I experienced. The nesting an the aniexty was overwhelming. Just so you know I had a baby 6 years later. By the way the pre-op story was pretty funny.
I literally felt like my mind was racing a mile a minute and there just was never enough time in the day. Glad to hear things worked out for you!
Glad to hear you are doing well. Thank you for sharing.
Thanks for watching!
Im so glad you are doing well on your recovery. Hugs 💕
Thank you!
Thank you for sharing..soon I will have mine..❤
It’s great to know you are doing well! I’m happy you got to visit your new school and meet your 8th grade team! It must have been fun seeing your former students. I had a similar experience seeing some of my former students when I attended a meeting at the middle school this past fall. 😁 Take care, rest, and keep being you! 💖
Thank you! It is such a great feeling knowing that your former students are happy to see you!
Glad to hear from you!!! Please continue to take your time to heal and feel better!!!
Will do, thanks!
Thank you so much for sharing this. Your hair, skin and eyebrows are lovely by the way.
Good Morning! 🌞
Thank you so much for sharing this with us. ❤️
Hello!
I have my surgery for a myomectomy on Feb 3. I’m nervous as this is my first surgery. I was told I would be in so much pain so that to be expecting it. 😭 I’m also nervous about the anesthesia and recovery time. By the way your house is beautiful!
Vee Plopez how did your surgery go? I’m having mine tomorrow
wizwifey10 mine is not for another week. It’s on February 3. How are you feeling?
Vee Plopez how did it go? I am hoping u are doing fine.
So glad your surgery was a success. Thank you for the video.
So good to see you and hear that your surgery went well and you are recuperating nicely! I know when I had a hysterectomy, I had the most pain from the anesthesia settling in my body, specifically my shoulders. It was very strange! Sending hugs 🤗!
Wow... luckily I didn't have much of an issue with the anesthesia aside from having the worst taste in my mouth afterwards. Thanks for the hugs!
I am glad you are recovering well!
Thank you!
Glad to see your surgery went well! I have been searching for other creators who have gone through this surgery since I am set to have mine in a couple of weeks! If you have any tips on recovery, then I would love your help! Happy Healing, Sis!
okay- Gowns an loose fitting clothes...I should have thought of that. Thank you! :-)
Riley's so cute!!! What breed is he? And Genesis is fabulous as always!
I love Riley. He truly is the sweetest. We were told he is a mix between a Pomeranian and a chihuahua. Genesis can't help, but to be a little diva I guess.
Thank You so very much for sharing. I've put off my surgery for one year. This video really helped me to prepare. God Bless.
Awesome! That is why I chose to share. I know I watched videos prior to going through with the surgery. I am so glad this helped you. I can honestly say I am glad I did it and it wasn't as scary as I thought it would be.
I'm glad to see that surgery went well as well as the recovery. I assume they didn't need to do a hysterectomy since you didn't mention it (thank God). Please take care of yourself and even though you said you're supposed to somewhat push yourself, don't do it too much. Sending many prayers for a quick (as quick as can be) recovery!
No, thankfully everything went well and I did not have to have a hysterectomy. I am learning there is still a limit to pushing myself. Thanks for checking in and the well wishes!
So so happy everything went well! God is good! 💕
Thank you and yes he is!
I am glad everything is going well, coco butter is good for healing scares , while your recovering you can design your new classroom 😊.
I've ordered stuff for my new classroom already.
I am so happy for you on so many levels! Ecstatic that your surgery went well! Loved that you felt happy and excited and peaceful in your future building and your future team mates.
I feel the same way about urine samples!! Like can I have a black non see through baggie please!😂
Thank you! It feels so uncivilized to just be walking around with a bag of bodily fluid for all the world to see. Glad I am not the only one that thinks this.
Glad your recovery is going well 🙏🏾
Thank you!
I'm so glad the surgery went great. You were in my prayers. So happy you're up and moving around. Take it easy and have a wonderful memorial day weekend!
Thank you. I am feeling good. Hope you have a great holiday as well!
I just found out that I have to have this surgery and am waiting to find out when and the process I have already started these wanting to cry moments I’m definitely scared but I think I’m finally ready
Hey girl, you look great 👍🏻 hang in there .
Thank you!
Okay, so I just have to stop right here and say, "Ma'am, no...we're not doing that." You have me DYING in the Starbucks right now.
Lol! It was so bizarre. I felt like I was disrespecting my elders, but I had to let her know that just wasn't going to happen.
I don't think I heard you say but did you just have to stay in the hospital the one day? Thank you again for being so transparent. This is really helping my nerves.
I ended up having to stay in the hospital for 2 days, but I was well taken care of.
I'm so glad your recovering, and feeling better. Thank you for taking us along on your journey. This was very honest and informative.FYI- caucasians can get keloids as well. My husband's family gets them. I never knew that there was something to be done, to prevent them from forming.
I am happy to be feeling better! I am constantly slathering my incision. Hopefully, it does the trick.
Subscribed to your channel because I love the way you documented your myomectomy story, but I’m sad that you didn’t give a final follow up video regarding recovery. Like 1 month or two months after 😢
Thanks for subscribing and sorry I dropped the ball there. After recovery life got really busy with me traveling and setting up my classroom for the year. My Finland Vlogs and classroom set up videos could be considered my post surgery videos. 😅
@@SmartieStylelr You're a workout junkie like me so i wanted details regarding you returning to exercising, foods you ate, etc. But thank you so much for your response. That was very sweet of you :-)
Alley Cat I had to take it pretty slowly at first. Walking on the treadmill at a slow pace at about 6 weeks out. At about 6 weeks out I went back to a Orangetheory but couldn’t row for a while. I also had to do modified ab work. Diet wise, don’t feel like I had to make too many changes there, if any.
I'll have the surgery next week. I'm nervous 😞
Thanks for sharing I appreciate you, very informative I'm so not ready for this surgery but I'm out of options and I'm starting to have pain in my abdomen area so I no I'm out of time plus gynecologist told me I'm definitely a candidate for surgery 😰😢🥺😔 please pray that God will give me a peace about it!
Prayers sent your way. This was best thing I did for myself and I have no regrets.
Thanks again for sharing 😊
thank you so much for sharing
Very informative. Thx for sharing...
Thank you for sharing this 🙏🙏
I am going to find out this Wednesday if I need the abdominal myomectomy or if I can get the robotic. My gyn dr said that I would need the abdominal but I am going for a second opinion
I am worried about the location of mine and what surgery i will be able to get done. Maybe thats why my current gyn said I would need an abdominal myo
It's a year plus later how are feeling? Do you feel better again?! I am considering a myomectomy.
Hi sis I had my myomectomy surgery for 1week and now I’m feeling well thanks to God so how long can be taken for recovery thank u for sharing
Hi, did you have to take off your nail polish before surgery? Thanks!
how many fibroids you have and location of the fibroids.
Having mine in a few weeks
Hi Miss Robinson hope your feeling good, yesterday I sprande my ancle it hurted now i have crunches and a boot.😥😥😣😭😭 .From Nicky
Oh no Nicky! I am so sorry to hear that. I hope you are doing ok.
Thanks😀
❤❤❤❤
I’m wondering if I can run my hundred mile race afterwards- yes I’m serious😩
Maybe, after you’ve properly recovered. Several weeks/months later.
I’m at “fibroids fairytale.” What do you want for lunch tomorrow? I’ll postmates it to you!
too cool for middle school lol! Gotta love my sense of humor. How sweet of you. I enjoy Waba Grill. 💛
😊😊😊❤
Good morning!!! Turned off amjoy to see you!!!❤️
Hope you enjoyed the vlog!
After surgery, you looked different - in a good way - like relieved and rejuvenated. Systemic enzymes are good for reducing scars, but it's also a blood thinner, so ask your doc about those. BTW, I found your episode of Mental Samurai on YT for $1.99.Here's your commercial segment! ua-cam.com/video/yLemW_e53C8/v-deo.html Glad everything went well!
You did a great job on the game show! I was on the edge of my seat shouting, "Flute!"
Thanks so much! I don't really watch much TV and had never heard of it but definitely checking it out now!
@@budezone I could not see it for the life of me. I was doing so well too!
I was relieved after surgery. I think both physically and mentally. I will look into the enzymes and ask my doctor at my next appointment. If you have OnDemand and Hulu you can find Mental Samurai there. Sorry you had to pay for it, but thanks for being such a great supporter!
@@skittles7306 If you have OnDemand or Hulu you can find it there. I think I was on Episode 7.
Thank you for sharing your info. I'm going to drop off my fruit basket next week. 🤭🤞🏽
Praying for a successful surgery.
@@SmartieStylelr thank you MUCH
Hepburn is crooked and giving me anxiety 😳😂
Oh cousin... I'll fix it tonight.
Do you have any fibroids outside of uterus?
If I remember correctly, I believe the doctor told me that I had one on top of my uterus.
SmartieStyle Thanks for ur information
Oh u didn't talk about surgery day that much ?what happened when you woke up from surgery and what happened when they took you back 🤷♀️🤦♀️
Blame it on recovery brain. When I woke up, I was obviously groggy and out of it most of the day. I had a weird taste in my mouth. The doctor said it was probably from the anesthesia. I slept A LOT. That is how I spent most of my recovery in the hospital: sleeping. When they took me back the prepped me for surgery and my doctor prayed with me and asked if I want pictures. That’s all I remember. Overall, surgery day was long, but smooth.
