I just had my UFE surgery it’s the gas and bloating is extremely painful. I was admitted in the hospital for 4 days. Finally got out today my blood pressure was sky high because the pain was so bad. They gave me motrin, colace, nausea medicine and Percocet. Let me tell you it has been hard for me to urinate and release gas it hurts so bad. I suggest you get up walk as much as possible try to drink apple juice it helps relieve gas. This surgery isn’t major but afterwards you feel like you dying! You have to be prepared for this procedure because it sounds simple but it isn’t. I repeat do not try to eat after it’s going to make you sick drink broth. Good luck to all the ladies getting UFE it’s better than having your uterus taken that’s first thing they recommend I fought to keep mine. Now my next step after this is conceiving a baby hopefully God bless me 🙏🏽
It is sad that we have to “fight to keep our uterus!”
That nurse doesn't have a very warm or sympathetic attitude and to think her being a fellow woman would understand how it feels. Smh. Glad you're doing good that's the most important thing
Shout out to your daughter for taking up the vlogging when you couldn't, she did so well letting us know what was going on. Thank God you got through it.
❤❤❤.. I thank God for all the prayer warriors that help me through this time in my life, sometimes it's just the simplest things that will get you through a situation and the love and support I have received on UA-cam makes us family. Thank you and I appreciate your support, be blessed.
I had the same procedure last year.... That pain after surgery is no joke...
I wanted Jesus to take me on home to be with Him
How soon after the procedure does it start, do the pain meds help and how long does it last?
I am doing my research on fibroid. My OBGYN told me it is best for me to have a hysterectomy because I am getting old (45) and I am not having any more kids. This witch must be crazy..I am looking into other options. These doctors want to experiment on women instead of giving us other alternatives. Please ladies do your research. I am keeping everything God blessed me with. Also, good eating and exercising helps.Bless u all
Donna Jacksin I was told the same thing that I am getting old (47) and I don't need my uterus. I told my OBGYN that I am keeping what God gave me ,so I am having UFE procedure next week January 5th I pray my tummy goes down
Put it in God's hands Sister Sharon. I will keep u in my prayers
Donna Jacksin she should recommend you shave your head and stop eating shit too because you really only have hair balls.
Nope no hysterectomy for me smh
Sharon48 Mc hi, I have same problem. Is it possible to tell me your experience? I am deciding whether or not have the UFE
I had this procedure this past Wednesday. Didn't know I had to be awake, awake during the procedure. The cramping was awful the first 3 days. Now I'm on day 5. Thought I'd be able to go back to work because the cramps are gone for the most part. I thought wrong. Now I have the UFE flu. I swear I'm gonna eat one day. But it's nowhere near as bad as my 2 myomectomies I had. I decided to do this partially after watching your videos. Thank you so much for informing everyone!
LaToya Burkett I had my procedure January 31. And like you said the pain was torture. Still have to take it easy. Can’t move too fast and I can’t really do any intense lifting. Even certain foods gives me abdominal pain. 😣
Is the cramping after fibroid surgery similar to labor contractions? I need know how bad it is. Sorry you had the UFE flu. How’s your health now dear?
@@Prettyinpink611 After a whole year? I am scared now because I was thinking about getting this procedure. Did the doctor say why you are still having so much abdominal pain after a year?
How long did it take you to fully recover?
My doctor is pushing for myomectomy, but I think I'm gonna do UFE instead. I'm planning to take two weeks off from work. I hope that is enough for me to recover.
I never knew this existed, and at 30 I was going for a hysterectomy. Wow. Thank you
Im getting uae in two wks
@@chattyash -- how did it go? Did you do it?
@@chattyash How was your procedure.
How do u feel that's it's over.
Smh!! Please reasearch options & stop letting doctors tell u a hysterectomy is the only option. This is disturbing AF that a 2nd opinion wasn't done & that no dr informed of another option.
@@goldenlifelove7251 My doctor gave me a list of 10 options. I can't believe some of the bad care I'm reading about here.
Sonya I am glad you posted to let us know how you are. Continue to recover and May the Lord Bless and keep you and your family!!
❤❤❤ It is good to come on here and see your smile, thank you Foxybrown for all your love and support. I will be back soon to fulfill my sharing of a blessing, be blessed :-)
Amen!!! I will be looking and waiting while you recover!! You are super awesome and blessed with a gift to teach. I have used so many of your ideas. I went to Ross and racked up savings all under $25 dollars. I used my "Sonya be on it " eyes!! LOL
I came across your channel. I am 29 I had my procedure this past Friday using the method as you. In the past 4 days that I had been in recovery mode, I do feel a difference even though I'm in pain. Thanks for your story.
chasezgal
sonyabeonit thank you. God bless
chasezgal Can you say how long you had the pain and was it severe? Thank you.
+theresachatty I was in pain for a day or two. I took 5 days off work. the pain depends on how you take it.
Understood. Thks. I'm contemplating procedure. Is it worth it? thks.
Thanks for sharing. I stayed overnight when I had my procedure and it took me about 2 weeks to completely recover. Everybody is different. It is so true that you seek a second opinion if your primary physician is not hearing you. My primary would complain about my weight and I told her about what was going on with me but she didn't really listen. I found a gynecologist that did and she gave me the options and made sure I was informed about the UFE procedure. I was given a pamphlet and video to watch and I was able to meet with my surgeon before hand and discuss what would take place before, during and after my procedure. Ladies please take care of your body and be attentive to what is normal that way when something out of the ordinary happens you will know. Thanks Sonya for sharing!
Cynthia Robinson
Amen to that! Does anyone care about our uteruses? Just because we may NOT want more children doesn't mean we want to give away our plumbing. My Gyno was very cooperative when I refused the hysty. He helped me with the MRI and everything.
It's good to know that you have options and some people don't realize that they can get a second opinion. Find out all of your options.
I have my procedure tomorrow, please send prayers up for me. Thanks
Praying
How was it?
How was your procedure
@@MsGat77 I had to have a hysterectomy. I'm doing great now thank God ! I had to make myself take it easy and not overwork myself. The first few weeks was painful and I was swollen. I healed.
@@MsGat77 it's been 5 years now.
Sonya, I'm so happy the procedure went well and I also wish you a speedy recovery. Keeping you in prayer. Be blessed!!!!
❤ ❤ ❤ Thank you Moca for watching, be blessed ;-)
thank you for sharing this. we need to start having open and honest conversations about this.
@@sonyabeonit how are you feeling after this procedure ! Did the pain go away ?
I'm so happy all went well for you! I am about to go for mines soon. Just had another MRI then I'll set the date. But watching your video, I'm Encouraged! God Bless You!
Glad u are ok. My cousin had this procedure and said she's much better. She went right back to work....
I'm about to have my surgery next month I'm 45 no kids....And you did a good job...I love you you're about to have surgery, and you're talking about shopping all the years I have been watching you You're a very strong woman
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR SHARING! I was diagnosed with fibroids in Oct. I was having all of the typical symptoms but had no idea what the issue was. Once I was diagnosed I feel like I have been through an accelerated crash course at "Fibroid University" The amount of information out there is mind numbing. That compounded with full pelvic exams, biopsy, CAT Scan, MRI, and Ultra sounds. Not too mention all the opinions from the "Peanut Galley!" " Just get them out" "I had a hysterectomy and I'm fine" "When is your doctor going to do something." Ugh!!! THANK YOU for giving this real time account of your procedure. I decided last weekend that I was going to schedule the UFE procedure, but I was still feeling uncertain. I was not feeling very confident that "shrinkage" would occur. I know that everyone is different, but UFE is my final answer. (I am a vegetarian... a natural... I use to work out, until I was just too tired and stopped. So in my opinion I have already lived the natural route to treatment. Now I am ready for relief and to get my life back! And YES.. losing some of this weight is a wonderful bonus). Thanks again and again!
lov3rbox
Same here. I hurt, I'm swollen like I'm pregnant with twins. I've been counting on my husband and kids to cook, clean, etc. I can't walk a lot at all with bleeding and being in pain. Sitting on my side or lying is more comfortable on worst days. No church, no gym, no Bible Study with my girls at CFL, guess I'm just a rose bush for now😥
Pretty with thorns🌹🌹🌹🌹
Thats my logic. Scheduled next month. Post care natural diet, exercises, detox etc should aid in shrinking these demonbroids after the procedure faster.
@@moniquelampkin7212 How was your procedure? I hope it went well. I'm considering it.
@@bigblue4579 Thanks for you care BB! I posted a Google review at Houston Fibroids of my experience. However so far so great. It will be a month tomorrow. I plan to resume exercising next week. I could have started days ago (lol) wanted to take it lite. One automatic change; No more waking up at night to go to restroom 3-4 times. Sleeping through the night with ease. I hope you will consider. No Regrets Sincerely
I had my UFE in 2011. Why didn't they give you a catheter? Between the pain and sleeping from the morphine I didn't want to get up. Women need to be educated that when it comes to fibroids this should always be your first choice and the choice is yours.
Exactly, I had UFE week ago and had a catheter and I was out after the procedure I was asking for 5 more minutes to sleep
Right. My obgyn didn't even know about this option. He just pushed myomectomy or hysterectomy.
I am having UFE done November 17th!! This will hopefully free up all this used up space in my uterus so I can birth my baby(ies). Thank you for posting this!!
Natalie Griffie me too!
Did you receive it and how did it go? I hope the birth happened for you😊🙏
How did it go Jameka? I'm having my embolization in Feb 2020.
How did it go?
yes yes! I had my done 2007 and the best decision because a Gyno wanted my uterus bad!! but I insisted on keeping it and she went as far as saying I old anyway (50) I didn't need anyway...I walk and she gave in...its all about the money for them
No, it's about patient care but some are better than others They don't get paid based on procedures. They're all on salary and make the same money no matter what treatments they recommend. The push you got is the old thinking that you aren't using your uterus anyhow, so get rid of it. I thought we'd moved past that. My doctors are nothing like that. I guess some of the terrible old ideas are still out there.
@@McPierogiPazza incorrect. They definitely receive commission, bonuses, pay raises, and incentives for referrals, medication, and surgeries ... just like dentists and pharmacists. That's common knowledge. The only medical doctors who get nothing from insurance companies are NDs.
I'm glad I came across your page, when I found out I had fibroids the first thing the doctor said was hysterectomy but I knew there were other procedures. My few of my friends had this done and said it was the best thing for them. I have moved to another state and have seen another doctor and she told me about this procedure. I've had all my test and I'm scheduled to have it done February 23. Thanks for posting this👍🏽
I just came across your video while trying to see if anyone else felt like the end was coming after the procedure. The procedure was easy the healing is worse than giving birth.
Lawd you ain’t lying.
You ain’t never lied….
Thanks for sharing. I’m so happy I went through early menopause and my fibroids are shrinking.
I just LOVE how you kept and keep saying I kept my uterus! I feel like you feel about hysterectomy being the only options. I want to keep my uterus too! I have fibroids and enlarged right ovary and I'm looking at this procedure as an answer. Thank you so much for opening up your life to us in order to help us! God bless you. Btw you are too funny, had me chuckling many times. Also I know exactly where Smyrna is because I'm from Alabama and ATL and anywhere in Georgia is nowhere for us. Traveled to GA all the time to see my brother and his family!
Did you have UFE, myomectomy, or hysterectomy?
I'm keeping my uterus! Flat out, I don't care what they say.
God bless your heart and spirit and thank you so much for your videos...I subbed a few weeks back and I have been awaiting this series. But while I waited I have truly enjoyed you being you...i watched alot of your channel from shopping to cooking to acting....to one of the most serious topics in my life now. Thank you Thank you again for sharing your journey and time you put in editing these videos...it is not wasted , I receive it!!
❤ Tears of joy thank you Chris...be blessed ;-)
Thanks for sharing, girl...don't let them steal your peace👍
I wanted my uterus out of my body 30 years ago. I finally had it removed 7 years ago. Best surgery ever in my life. I had 11 tumors removed 2 years before. They should have taken it all then. Glad that you were able to keep your uterus. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you Minnpam for sharing your story. I love it when we are able to share with each other, be blessed ;-)
Giving myself UFE as a Birthday gift this year!!! Month and a half left!!! July 28th this Fibroid terror will be OVER!!!!
I had this procedure done 3 years ago. The recovery was torture for me and I have a ver strong threshold for pain. I came down with a fever and cold sweat the day that I had to return to work. Employee health sent me back to the doctor, who sent me home. That was 2 weeks after the procedure.
how but your periods after the procedure how painful? They were ?? this is my second period after the procedure and is been painful and bleeding also
Had my procedure 4 months ago and my symptoms are worse. It amazes me how the Dr. gives all these high expectations like I should see a dramatic improvement in 3 months. I feel dramatically worse. He now tells me I will need a hysterectomy. :(
Oh my God. Do you mind if I ask did you have the hysterectomy or after a while did the procedure finally five you some relief?
Thanks for sharing. I was shocked how they let you walk across the floor after coming from surgery. Safety precautions. She can't tell you to stop eating the ice. She didn't wanna have to clean up anything or do extra paperwork. Smh.
Thank you so much for sharing!! Im in the process of getting the same procedure in a few weeks. You're videos have been so helpful!!
I got UFE last Friday and no lie already feel a difference and I had so many large ones
I have large ones too and am having the procedure in 3 days. Im glad to read you're feeling better!
@@goldenlifelove7251 how did it go? I'm considering this procedure.
@@goldenlifelove7251 How did it go?
Having this done in two weeks at Northwestern. I am so afraid that my cycles will get worse before they get better. My IR said that's unlikely, but I have heard of this from other women. My fibroid is partly in the wall and partly in the lining so I am also worried about expelling bits of it after. Please pray for me that this procedure stops my bleeding and that I don't start bleeding again until after my UAE. God Bless you.
So how are you now?
Feel better and hope you have a speedy recovery.
As a nurse, I wouldn’t have let my patient leave with nausea.
Hi everyone I have been lamenting about this for over a year I've done a ton of research I've had three separate opinions you know they all say take your uterus out you're 58 you don't need it
I'm not taking my uterus out unless it was cancerous it's fibroid they're annoying constant pressure I've gotten to the point why she only wear skirts and no panties I'm a very good shape by the way
Gym rat my whole life I had one child I'm 5'1 I weigh 103 lb
I've always been extremely healthy with a very good diet
I found out I had three golf ball size fibroids 3 years ago and it is taking me that long to decide what I should do I'm not going to remove my uterus this is what makes me a woman!!!!
But everyone says the same about UFE horrible pain and not as quick of a recovery as you might think
terrified but I do need to make a decision soon
Any input is appreciated
I had a laparoscopic myomectomy just last Thursday and let me tell you all I felt was like if a did a million crunches after that pain was taken away I had the most horrible gas pain ever!!!! That was the worst part not being able to pass the gas, I peed right away well it took me a good 20 min to pee tho god I hated that gas pain tho so if you ever have surgery to remove fibroids and they put gas inside you I’d recommend you take gas pills, drink arnica tea and walk walk walk!!!
I just had my UFE surgery on January 17 2020 an BABYYYYYYYY IVE NEVER HAD A CHILD. But the pain I was In after ... you would have thought I was having one lol it’s noooo joke!!!
I'm having the ufe procedure in May, I'm nervous about it 🙏🙏🙏
How is everything going now?
OUCH! What type of drugs do they give to offset the pain for that period of time?
@@tiffanygreen2187 how did it go?
@theempresscoco how many months after u deal with this pain. ??
I came across your page and watched your progress and first of all I want to say I am very happy and proud of you showing your progression. I had the procedure on 12/21 (UFE) in Cali. I am still sore. Did you still feel abdomen soreness 5 days after the surgery?
It took me over a month to heal and yes I felt the soreness, it shall pass. I will keep you in my prayers for a speedy recovery, be blessed ;-)
Hey Sonya... How's it been?
Any side effects from the UFE you had?
Can you tell me how much it cost? I don't yet have/can afford health insurance..
Help.
I pray your healing is going well. Love the pajamas!
❤ ❤ ❤ Thank you for watching, be blessed ;-)
Thank you so much for documenting this! It really helped me out I am coming from Chicago to have Dr Lipman perform the UFE next week! Thanks so much for letting me know what to expect! May God continue to bless you!!!
That took me back to my hysterectomy 2 years ago. I think I had the same after-surgery expression on my face. I wish I saw this video prior to getting my hysterctomy. I would have done the same procedure you had.
May God Bless you Sonya, I am very nervous of the pain, But I trust in your words and see your experience ,that is the best step to take. I decided that Hysterectomy and Myomectomy is not for me. Thank you for posting this. Take care.
+Linda Bee
Awww Thank you soo much. Will do. Blessings to you and family.
Shrink your fibroids naturally --> t.co/3PMxZMvZtu
I'm in my thirties, never been pregnant and not interested in having children. I have terrible periods. I have been wanting a hysterectomy since I first new of them but do to my age etc no one would perform it. Now I have fibroid, being a one time cancer survivor I'm afraid of a hidden cancer. This procedure is recommended by my doctors. We will see if I gain some relief. I'm torn though between this or a hysterectomy.
I have my procedure for next week on the 30th. Im so glad that this was recorded so U can be more aware.
How did it go??
I hope u have a speedy recovery!
❤❤❤ Thank you Sexydrea I will see you guys soon so I can fulfill my sharing of a blessing, be blessed
Bless you heart! I hope that you are feeling better Sonya! Did they at least let you stay overnight in the hospital?
Did you shrink completely? Did it come back?
Thanks for sharing your story with us Sonya praying for you will be staying posted for part 2 muchluv from the 313
❤❤❤Thank you Nina ,I appreciate your support, be blessed ;-)
Your welcome Sonya and you to
❤
How have you been since this procedure?
I just had this procedure October 25th by the same Doctor and the recovery time has been longer for me but I am glad I had it done, no pain no gain.
I hated to see you in pain like that I just wanted to hug you honestly 😭
Ps.. my gyno also said my uterus was old and my ovaries are like Stone !!!!
She also suggested removing my ovaries even though there's nothing wrong with them!!!
no cancer just some fibroids that are causing a lot of discomfort for me she suggested getting everything out which is completely fucking ridiculous
Hello there how are you doing today? I hope and pray that everything goes well for you today ❤❤❤❤God bless you 😊😊
Thanks for this video!! I'm supposed to be getting this done sometime this year. That nurse is annoying.
Hi I am having this procedure on the 15th of June. We're you awake during the procedure?
Your kids, are very amazing.
bronxwomen77 # yes they sure are. They are always at her side especially Deja. Bless her heart.
I'm going in tomorrow. Mayo Clinic Jacksonville, Florida👍
Tu Bailey I live in Jacksonville and I have fibroids. How was your procedure? Have you been pleased with your results?
no. I eventually got the hysterectomy because the healing took months, and the fibroids shrunk minimally. I looked pregnant still and couldn't do anything...and to top it off..some more had joined them. The largest ones were basically untouched. sometimes, it is what it is.
I had the hysterectomy September 2015, and my stomach is finally flat looking again. Make sure you wear the spanx type garments as often as you can tolerate if you get the hysterectomy. rest, take your pain killers, and subscribe to the hystersisters website or check them out on FaceBook. If you have to do it, pray and go for it. I don't feel any less feminine. Remember your recover at your rate. don't rush it. God Bless whatever way he leads you. oh, and my love life is just fine. Each woman of course is different, but if you love yourself and think healthy you will be fine.
Its required to I to stay overnight here in Va. Did you had to take gambetine?
My doctor prescribed it, but said it wasnt really required. Confused.
Just had mines done this past Thursday and I had to stay over night
Did you stay overnight at the hospital, because I am. How was the pain?
I am having this procedure done on February 23, 2016...I would like to know about how many days were you in pain....I'm starting to get nervous as time gets close...
I'm having it done the same day as you
+Troy'lyn Chance You're both in my prayers for a speedy recovery. You're going to be fine, keep me posted and if you need me I am here for you. Thanks for watching, be blessed ;-)
+nicole ruffin You're in my prayers for a speedy recovery. You're going to be
fine, keep me posted and if you need me I am here for you. Thanks for
watching, be blessed ;-)
+sonyabeonit Hi Sonia...I'm having this procedure done on September 9th. my fibroid is 7.2 cm in middle of uterus. I'm pretty scared
You'll be fine. The pain was pretty bad for the first four or five hours, but then it went away. I had mine done in 2013 - haven't looked back. I wish I'd had it done earlier. Please come back and say how you got on. Best wishes from Ireland.
this is going to be my second time having this procedure, it will be in a couple of days,but for me the first 4 days was was hell in terms of pain but I was up and back to work on day 8
Chantal Wilson So it didn't work the first time?
Why did you need a 2nd one?
Why second time please
How you doing after 8yrs?
Get well my sweet Sonya I need to have the same procedure
❤.. I thank you for watching and hope it was helpful for your situation, if you need to ask me something personal about the procedure please feel free to inbox with your questions, be blessed ;-)
I am glad You are Better :)
Thanks so much for the video, is very encouraging. I will be doing mine own Friday. Still scaring concerning pain.
Hi..did u do the procedure and how was it for you
Can you still have kids after that procedure? and what is the name of your doctor? I live in Atlanta as well. I need help with my fibroids I can't take it any more.
Yes, although I do believe you would be at a higher risk for c section. Talk with your doctor to understand all the risks!
I live in Atlanta as well and I’m planning to have my UFE procedure done late July 2021. I’m a bit nervous but this monthly pain that I experience is no joke.
@@Divine_Goddess how are you doing now??
I'll find out soon if I'm a candidate for UFE. I hope so😕
Why have a hysty if you don't want or have to?😏
Hi
What makes you a candidate for ufe? How have you been since?
Wow at the I.v part lol...I'm a certified medical assistant n bout to have my RN license soon n I hate needles! I don't mind giving the shots or drawing blood but I'm the worst patient lol....I'm getting better though
You'll be great. Thanks for sharing about the needles
hahaha i laughed so hard when i saw this video because I was you and even worse!!!! I remember apologizing for peeing on the operating table when they injected me with something lol nurse kept saying you have a catheter in so you cant be peeing on urself lol. Then I kept forgetting i was in pain so i did not press the pump hahaha. dr asks me are u pressing the pump i said the nurse told me to and i did it loooooool. before surgery i was talking non stop and after surgery i was like you curled up in pain sleeping. If i have to do it again I will!!!!! recovery really took about a week.
ini hangu
I am having my robotic surgery which is next Wednesday 2/22/17 an I'm nervous an what test before your robotic hysterectomy surgery
Hi , how did u feel now after your robotic surgery.. kindly do let me know as might be I will also go through.. thanks
love your toes..u go girl !!
vivalulious Lmbo! Thank you, be blessed ;-)
Also my dr requires a 48 hr stay and monitors you closely. I notice that you went home the same day.
Loving the outfit! I would of drove you Sonya if I lived near ya. I would of been there at 5:45! Oh Sonya I wanted to hug your or hold your hand when you were in pain. :.(
You know I love you Lori, thank you my sister ;-)
Your very welcome sweetie God bless.
God is Good
My nurse would not let me go to the parking lot until she spoke to my brother and confirmed he was by the door...seems strange for her to have to sit outside and wait right after surgery...
That was for your safety
Prays going up to you and your family tanks gyal for this video I'm getting this they called me today about the procedure i have to do mri so this video is helpful
TFS happy everything went well
❤❤❤, be blessed
Blessings!!
May I ask what thrift store you go to?
❤❤❤ Now you know I like sharing, I like going to Value Village, don't miss their monthly sale on the last Wednesday of every month. Hope to see you there, be blessed Georgia Peach :-)
Look nice girl now love it Shelia Grate job b👍👍👍👍🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
thank you for this video.
Chaszegal I had mine done on Friday too
That's how a Diva gets it done :)
❤
Damn that nurse at the end was rude i thought
Do you feel this was better than having a hystereomy being that you no longer wanted childreN
my robotic hysterectomy is getting close
Does anybody know how much it cost?
From an insurance standpoint, the cost of the procedure is covered, if medically necessary. Cost can vary, however, there is usually a portion you would have to pay, such as a deductible or coinsurance.
I thought when you have surgery, you are suppose to be sterile from head to toe? No make up , jewelry, and cleaned in special dial soap and Hex surgery scrub
What going on with you love you
i understand
If I had a car I would get well soon
I better not drink ANYTHING!!!!😅
N I know if my c section hurt like all be damned u was in some serious pain hun.# notfun
