Total Hysterectomy Dec 06 - 1 year 4 months ago Posted: 04-16-08 17:37pm
I'm just checking in...I had a total
hysterectomy (ovaries, tubes, cervix and
Uterus) due to Endometriosis. I have
never felt as great as I have over the
last year. It took me at least 4 weeks to
heal. I had a LAVH (laprascopic assisted
vaginal hysterectomy) and took 6 weeks off
of work. Fast forward, I am starting to
have more pain. To my complete let down,
it feels exactly the same as it used to
when I had Endo. I have been reading all
day and have discovered that I did not
cure the Endo with the surgery. I have
made an appointment with the GYN/ONC that
did my surgery. My mother was diagnosed
with stage 2c Ovarian Canver and Stage 2a
Uterine Cancer. I am a little freaked
out. I just wanted everyone to know that
I feel like a million bucks compared to
before surgery. BUT, I am now starting to
feel some of my old pain.

I just found out that it all has to go Posted: 05-18-08 10:00am
I am a 24 y woman who in the last year has
had three lap surgeries due to how bad the
endomitriosis that is just eating me
alive. It all started when I started
having the most unbareable pain that I
have ever had(and I have had a child all
natural) I did not agree with the results
from my regular doctor. So I went to my
sisters gyno and he did an ultrasound on
my abdomen and found out that my left
ovary was triple its size It was a week
later and I was having er surgery to
remove the infection that had built up in
my ovary. That was Ferbuary of 2007 then
in july I had to go in and have the left
tube ovary and my appendix remove because
they were all stuck to my uterus. They
also found out that my rectum was also
stuck to the back of my uterus which my
doc told me would make for a very messy
hysterectomy. Now march of 2008 I had to
go and have a cyst removed out of my right
ovary that was the size of my uterus and
now in may I have to go and schedule my
hysterectomy I am scared and very
disappointed but I can not have this
disease eat me alive any longer

endo and hysterectomey Posted: 05-28-08 18:17pm
i underwent 8 laps in one year for endo...
each time the ovary was stuck to the
pelvic wall. I also took three rounds of
lupron all to no help. I got really sick
three years ago after i lost my job and
insurance and dropped down to 92 pounds
due to the pain and nausea. I was in
surgery for 5 and half hours... but i
would do it all again. i have no kids but,
now i have quality of life. it was hard to
get healthy again and i still have some
pain but, not like the pain that got me
here. the hysterectomy itself took 45
minutes and the other time was spent
fixing everything else
