Had a hysterectomy because of cancer.
Wow. Just found this video and cannot wait to learn more. This is the first video I’ve found that is actually giving legitimacy to what we live with after a hysterectomy. I’ve been an early bird my entire life. And since my cancer and hysterectomy, I struggle to wake up before 8:30 -9:30 am. I’m losing 3-4 hours of every single day of my life now. I’m labeled at work as lazy. It’s such a huge loss for me. I’m struggling g to make a living because of this along with the other things a hysterectomy has stolen from me. Can you PLEASE address how I can get back to my old normal sleep patterns?!?!
Glad this video was helpful for you! I have a couple videos on sleep!
Thank you for this video! I just met recently with my OB/GYN and unfortunately, she doesn't believe in testing for hormones and dissuaded me from doing to. Then proceeded to gave lecture me on eating less and exercising. I had a hysterectomy from adenomysis, lots of bleeding, heavy flow, and debilitating cramps almost all my life. Adenomysis was diagnosed after 3-4 years of anemia and heavy bleeding. How can I find an OB/GYN in my area who will support me in testing for these hormonal imbalances? I'm on the waitlist for your program, can't wait to try it and will buy your books now. Thanks for enlightening us - I feel like it's a whole new world opening up!! I'm shocked that many doctors don't know or believe that there could be underlying issues that are unaddressed. Putting all the blame and pressure on women to lose weight on their own without any guidance or understanding of what's going on with their bodies!!!
I am so sorry that was your experience. It can be hard to find the right fit in a practitioner. It is unfortunate that more are not willing to look to the root of the issue. But it really is key to a sustainable result!
I had a total hysterectomy. I had my tides clamped in 2008 then nuva sure to stop my heavy cycle in 2018. I was is so much pain I had to take tramadol. The last 5 months when it was time for my cycle the pain in my right side would literally stop me un my track and I would be bented over. The last 3 months the pain would last for 5 days. Everything was removed. My endometriosis was so bad. My uterus was attached to my right tube. I my hormones are now over the place. I'm on an estrogen patch as well. My weight is the same but I'm extremely bloated. I'm in week 3 and started walking. I worked hard not to gain weight but all the muscles I trained hard for are gone.
Letting the doctor talk me into a hysterectomy was the biggest mistake of my life 😭 I used the estrogen patch for years I felt good and then I had hypothyroidism so I took levothyroxine and my weight was great normal then all of a sudden my nurse practitioner took my levothyroxine and estrogen patch away because she said I shouldn’t take them anymore 🥲 it’s my body my choice I want them back!!!! I’m 50 lbs. over weight and I’m feeling sick all the time. There was no reason to destroy my life. I had a total hysterectomy in 2001.
I just had a hysterectomy 2 months ago and I’m never coming off of HRT. Did you manage to get it back? If not I’d find another doctor as you only have a 10 year window of opportunity before there is not much point in restarting
I got a hysterectomy Bc of 2 very largeeee fibroids. My job is the thing stressing me, my supervisor is evil!!! I’m starting to lose weight my breast grew double in size Bc it thinks I’m pregnant and my bowels is just starting to get better after being squished by fibroids. I have no appetite.
I had a hysterectomy total abdominal in 2009 and did not lose weight, until the last 3 years I started intermittent fasting and low carb, and have since lost 38 lbs. and keeping it off over 2 years now, I had very badly symptomatic fibroids, bleeding over 1 or 2 mos. at a time, very heavy over 8 years! and I had Cervical dysplasia as well, so cervix and utereus removed. have ovaries, have not had a lot of issues since, except for a small inguinal hernia, and some problems with my scar tissue, which was also from a C-section with one of my kids. Have not really had a Dr. to address those issues, am getting there.
i have pcos and about 4 months ago had bad bleeding for 2 weeks went for a scan and they found nothing (normally have to wear 2 night time pads back to back each period change). i had back leg and stomach pain and pregnancy like symtoms even though i havnt been sexually active for 7 years, and i don't want children. and recently hormones have been all over the place. i'm only 32 and im concitering getting a hyst to help sort me out a bit. but i'm going to research more first. my body feels a mess and my periods every month the symtoms are diffrent each month no geneal pattern and a few breakdowns.
Is the weight gain after, due to the surgery increasing cortisol levels?
I was working with my integrative heath doctor on lowering cortisol and other. And things have gotten better. But him and my oncologist agreed that for my long term anemia and pain, a partial hysterectomy is the next step. Any tips on how to avoid weight gain ? Ive worked hard for 2 yrs to lose 24 lbs with working on repairing my body, doing low carb and intermittent fasting.
I told my doctor I think thyroid is causing my problems and he looks amused but dismissed me. I’ll see what happens but I think constant adrenaline is my problem. Harassment from my supervisors and miserable coworkers
Thank you, this video was powerful. I have big fibroids 10cm and im going to strink them , because everything you said is the truth, people DO NOT want to do the work, praying, fasting, changing diets, exercises, keeping pressure normal, stress levels down, detox the body, no drinking alcohol, no sugar, just fruits some, I can go on and on...I started my journey 6 months ago and I've seen a huge difference, I can feel my inside changing ( no more pain, or just a little) no I don't see my stomach going down YET but it will, I have to change the common cause first. Yes the doc telling me to get a hysterectomy, but none of them saying change your eating ect.. yes it's scary to have big fibroids 😢 but I owe it to my body to treat it right after not treating it right for so long, it may take me a long time to strink my fibroids and my uterus, but im going to do it, just like they can grow, they can strink. I hope this helps someone. Thanks doc, I will share the video.
Yes!! I’m so glad to hear you’re taking this into your hands and noticing improvements! That’s awesome!
Hi how are you going ?
I am total too have a hysterectomy cause I have 10 com fibroids but I don’t want it.
@kymistryw did your fibroids shrinking now that you're 2 yrs out? How are you doing?
Thanks for this video. I had uterus taken out because it was flipped 30 years ago. I was told it would not cause any issues. I am now loosing my hair at age 60 and this is scary and alarming at the lack of knowledge years ago from doctors I went to.
Which one is for the Dutch test?
Just had one and i can relate to the unexplained weight gain.. Would your book help?
Yes, both books would be beneficial!
This videos is great. A hysterectomy can have a relationship with hipotiroidism? My mother had one after having me and she only has an ovary. She was with hormonal medication for a while, but she suffered big headaches than made her sick. Now she has hipotiroidism and hearts issues. I read that they can be related but I'm not sure.
OMG, I just found your channel. 34 years old fibroids have exhausted my uterus. How do I found and take that dutch test I truly need, this.
You can find more info on it here: drbethwestie.com/dutch-hormone-testing/
Hi Dr Westie, I had a hysterectomy about 7 weeks ago. I am ok now but I ran into your RUclips channel. I had it done because heavy heavy periods and my anemia. I stain everything it was a nightmare. I wanted to ask how soon you think I can do jumprope and run. Also, more about hormones. I still have my ovaries .
This is best to ask your doctor!
I Am a medical student and i have a question...do you still ovulate even after having hysterectomy or the ovulation has stopped.
Hello Dr I am 35 yr I had my complete abdominal hysterectomy 4 weeks ago but I can't go for hrt becoz of my dvt in the past during my pregnancy (as Dr said)can u plz guide how can I manage my estrogen or harmone levels
This is exactly what I help with in the 12 week program! Www.drbethwestie.com/waitlist
Hello Dr . Beth I had my uterus removed August 13,2020 due to anemia. I am experiencing hot flashes at night really heated. Can refer anything. I just started juicing every day and trying to limit processed food. Does maca help with balancing of hormones and before I had the surgery my doctor told me i needed progesterone .....but I just decided to have uterus removed leaving ovaries. But I still think there is an imbalance or hormones. Please help/advise.
I’d recommend getting your hormones tested so you know exactly how they’re functioning instead of just guessing! drbethwestie.com/dutch-hormone-testing/
Hot flashes so...... bad. I too faced this. Hysterectomy is very bad. I had bad experience.
So bad hysterectomy
I need a total hysterectomy with everything removed because of cancer cells. I am lean an very sportiv and a passionate rock climber. Now I hear and read that one can gain weight after the procedure and a flabby belly.. But what worries me the most is the change of the body shape. Is it true that the ribcage sinks down on the hipbones. If so, can I prevent that with back exercise and rock climbing.
I was always very skinny and afterwards I gained a little weight but not much. I honestly think I look more healthy now. No flap belly or anything like that. I'm very active and eat healthy so maybe that's helping?
I am a medical student and one question is troubling me aloooot.......If we do hysterectomy in younger patients and if we keep the ovaries....will they ovulate....and if they do...where will the ovum go...and if it doesn't ovulate...what might be the reason.
My cortisol levels are so high that gained 40 lbs in 2 years inability to lose weight .
Keep getting judge for the weight telling me to do zumba by strangers because I accidentally bumped into me and my weight bothers them.
I’m sorry for that your not alone in this, I have endometriosis my bleedings are so bad my blood clots are big like a size of a plum so desperate
@@gabrielalopez5548 thank you it is hard and yes I been there with heavy periods and painful .It is hard journey as a woman .
Can you refer a doctor in my area? Nobody is listening to me. I had a partial 4/1/2009 and I cannot lose weight; actually gained weight all in my shoulders, neck and stomach
I’d be happy to help! Send me an email: beth@drbethwestie.com
Yeah so I didn't have a choice. It was either die during childbirth due to undiagnosed placenta accreta and severe hemorrhaging. So I got a partial. Is there something to help that doesn't require money?
I had the same thing I almost died due to child birth I didn't have a choice
Me too! No choice. I had a huge bacterial infection start at my c-section scar after my second birth.
I honestly feel like my body wants to be pregnant and being keep choosing me to portal but I’m not viable
I unfortunately had a partial hysterectomy due to having HPV that was causing pre-cancer cells on my cervix abnormal Pap smear three years in a row they finally decided to take my uterus out before it started to spread
I am so sorry to hear that!
I’m in the same boat as Mary.
I have not had the hysterectomy but they want to do it. Should I or can I avoid it?
@@Pdk764 I don’t want to give anybody advice. But I already had all my children and they were already grown so there was no planning for more children in my 40s on top of that to be honest. Sometimes a pap can go back to normal. but he told me that with HPV as you get older and your immune system starts to become weaker, it can go haywire and not even give you the opportunity to get a hysterectomy because cancer will just go crazy so I wasn’t taking any chances
How can I get the Dutch test

I need help!!! I'm desperate. I had a partial hysterectomy sept 2019 due to a prolapse uterus after 4 children back to back. I'm 37 yrs old. I lost 111lbs last year in 2019 with keto. I gained 45 lbs after my hysterectomy due to severe depression and hormones out of whack. I've now gone back to keto for 2 months. I've kost 10 lbs and the inches and lbs do not want to come off. I'm talking i ear perfectly!! Don't eat processed foods or sweets none of that bad stuff. Only good lean meats and vegetables. The lbs do not come off. I need help
Hi! Are you on the waitlist for the 12 week program? That’s the best way for me to help! Www.drbethwestie.com/waitlist
I liked your video 😁
Thanks!
Hysterectomy with ovaries removed in 2020 due to mass, since then gained 45 lbs. multiple doctors no one has offered real understanding or help, all my levels are within normal range blah blah blah feel so defeated. Nothing in my life other than that has changed, I walk at least 10,000-15,000 steps a day, eat the same, so frustrating hearing eat less exercise more, there is way more to it!
Have you looked into more comprehensive hormone testing?
The attitude in this area is your 56. You’ve had a hysterectomy. It’s part of life. I can’t believe that this is my life. Please offer me some options.
I highly recommend looking into Dutch testing. This link will have more information: drbethwestie.com/dutch-hormone-testing/
If you fill out the form on that page I will send over an email with information on which test you need, the cost, what’s included and how to order.
Oh I am now60
Can I have it done after having a hysterectomy? I had a hysterectomy three years ago and I feel like crap. Went for several tests dr. always tell me everything is ok when I'm not feeling good.
Yes you can!
This video just made me more afraid. 🤦🏽♀️ and I’m going to stay fat🤦🏽♀️🤦🏽♀️🤦🏽♀️
It’s not meant to make you afraid, it’s meant to help you understand the impact of this approach.
They laughed when I told them I was going to lose fat with just using *2WeightLossFast. Com* , but after I showed these people amazing effects after I used it they are begging me to share with them about it. Of course I won't let them know the detail about this diet plan, hahaha?
I'm sad they lied and said my hormones will be fine. I have fibroid.
I was doing pretty good then after 2 month of going back to work I’m exhausted. My joints hurt and so wore out. But I feel I need to get on a hormone.
Have you done any hormone testing to determine the root of the issue?
I’m sleepy and my energy is gone because the doctor took my estrogen and levothyroxine away! It’s my body my choice I want them back! I’m 59 years old and raising 3 grandchildren ages 18,10&8 I need energy I can’t afford stress but it’s multiplied now. I have no cancer scares or reasons for my estrogen and levothyroxine to be taken! It’s my choice can’t I demand them back????
Perhaps you can find a new practitioner - one who is a menopause specialist? This is a resource for North America: portal.menopause.org/NAMS/NAMS/Directory/Menopause-Practitioner.aspx
if i can convice someone not to take this operation i would be happy my skin is aging fast am gaining weight my waist line is gone i cant sleep i think it was a miss diagnosis i made the worst decision of my life i hate the doctor who did it to me
