Hysterectomy! OMG!!!

Considering what you told me about everything I'm not surprised your experiencing things like that. Hang in there, in 48 hours that will be taken care of and your body will only need to recover from the surgery. Sending you warm wishes and very careful hugs.

Yeah I suppose that is true. About 3 weeks ago my doctor had to remove my IUD because it had begun to perforate my uterus due to the fibroid growing and shoving it down. Part of the IUD had grown into the fibroid too. This had been happening as the fibroid grew. I knew I was having pain but it was referred and I kept perceiving it as extreme back pain. Having that IUD removed was far from pleasant because I wasn't under anesthetic of any kind. That was rough. I dunno if that would contribute to the pronounced full/bloated feeling I've been experiencing or maybe it's just the continued growth of the fibroids. There are 5 of them total.

I forgot to ask when we were talking, did she give you antibiotics to protect you from infection at the time? Since the fibroids are so large they would contribute to the bloated feeling. Hang in there! I'm very glad you are not by yourself.

Thinking about you this morning - hope everything is going well!

Good luck, Winding Road. Wishing you a good recovery.
