Thank you so much to all of you who watched this video with me. I really appreciate you being here and listening to my story. Ofcourse this is only my story and not everyone may experience the same pain and emotions as myself. We are all unique in our own way. Again, thank you for being here ❤️
I think your story will give the woman courage to make often difficult decisions. I know why I enjoy watching your video so much. Because you are not only beautiful and inspirational woman, but above all honest, intelligent and simply good. Keep it up:)
@@newnana9070 hi Nina - thank you so much for sharing with us your personal experience on this. Yes, I feel so good and do not regret it at all. I'm living life now and before it was like time had stopped...😉
Hi Vilma! Thanks for your video! I just have abdominal total hysterectomy with both ovaries and tubal removal 2 weeks ago. My emotional is like on a roller coasters!
Fibroids are sooo painful. Had my hysterectomy last week and everything is gone, including my cervix. I feel SOOO MUCH BETTER!!! Robotic surgery was ABSOLUTELY NOTHING....felt incredible after just 3 days. Secret is Moltrin 800mg, walking and sitting up. For anyone facing this, GIRL YOU'VE GOT THIS! YOU'LL FEEL SOOOO MUCH BETTER❤❤❤🙏🙏🙏👍👍👍👍
Amy L. - You are absolutely right! I had my procedure done May 3rd and I feel amazing and bored from sitting home lol. I drank plenty of water and drinking celery juice for bowel movements. I had no issues!
@@tiffanymonet470 I'm having my procedure done in 3 weeks. I am very anxious. How are you doing now? Any tips I should keep in mind? I've never had surgery before. I'm in my early 50's.
@@bwhatever60 Hello Barbara! You will be just fine. I'am doing great today and I wish I 'd done this sooner. I feel like a new person. I have no pain, I'm walking around, bleeding has stopped, body is getting slimmer hence (fasting). Some tips I suggest is drinking plenty of water, drinking a green smoothie everyday to get bowels moving, eat lots of protein (Fish, chicken, eggs, cottage cheese, plain yogurt. Eat good carbs (Brown rice, sweet potato, quinoa ect). Please follow your doctor's post op directions. They are the experts and know what's best for you. God bless and I pray your surgery is a success. 🙌🏽 💪🏽
HAD MY HYSTERECTOMY IN 2012, FEELING WONDERFUL! NEVER HAD KIDS...DIDNT WANT THEM BUT I FEEL SO MUCH BETTER NOT HAVING TO WEAR DIAPERS FROM HEAVY PERIODS
Can you answer my question? as of 2021 almost 2022 are you experiencing a prolapsed bladder or inconsistence I would like for you to honestly answer this question before I have this hysterectomy
I had a hysterectomy 2 months ago because of fibroids. Never had kids but I was not trying to. It still sucks that we have to loose parts of our anatomy because of these conditions.
I had a total hysterectomy 2 weeks ago as I had cancer and pre cancer in my womb I'm 42 had no children but I'd decided that I didn't want them.... Its a hard thing to go through but it saved my life.. Its a slow recovery but I will get there.. Thank you for your video ❤️
Thank you for starting your video with recognition to those of us who don’t have kids and now have to have a hysterectomy. Mine is in 9 days. My heart is heavy, but I know it’s for the best. Last week I had to have a blood transfusion because I’d been bleeding for 30+ days. People have no idea the mental pain we go through. I am praying for a good surgery and speedy recovery. Thanks for sharing your story.
Hello my lovely. I am so sorry that you are going through this tuff time. It’s truly not easy but there is light at the end of the tunnel. I wish you a speedy recovery and many years ahead of good and healthy life 🌹
Much love to you. My wife and I are going through that now. She was devastated that she wouldn’t even have a chance to carry a baby. She is a labor and delivery nurse si it makes it that much more difficult.
Just had a full hysterectomy. I’m on day 4 of healing. I’m doing great. Glory to God! I’m moving slow. I woke this morning and got my first shower. I had my first bowel movement last night and I felt so much better. Thank you for this video your delivery was beautiful ♥️
I had an abdominal hysterectomy on June 13 was up and walking after recovering from surgery and was home the next day. Experienced very little pain throughout the entire operation after a month I went back to work. Best decision in my life, plus I lost 5 inches on my waistline. I haven’t been able to where dresses in years because of the fibroid bulge, now I’m wearing everything
I had a hysterectomy three weeks ago. Unfortunately, it was either that or continue having a daily period and severe pain. I was diagnosed with adenomyosis. My last menstrual period started in July, and never went away. After d and c, endometrial biopsy, oral contraceptives... nothing worked! Fortunately, I’m 46 years old, finished having children after one son I had 13 years ago. The pathology report revealed severe adenomyosis. No other option for me. My heart goes out to all the women suffering and who have to make the decision to get a hysterectomy . Trust God that everything will be fine.
This was my same exact experience. I always had rough and painful periods with heavy bleeding. Last year my periods started to last a full week. Then in August it just never went away. And I bled bled bled nonstop. Huge clotting and massive blood loss and I couldn’t predict when it would come. Adenomyosis as well as fibroids. So along with the pain and bleeding, I had to deal with anemia so severe I literally had to stop after walking a block to rest. I was bone tired. Hemoglobin down to single digits. Which I had to raise up with diet and iron transfusions just to be able to qualify for surgery. It was an ordeal and I’m glad it’s over. I’m 44 with 3 children 2 of which are grown so it was the best decision for me. My heart goes out to the women who were unable to have children before doing this.
Im 38.i have adenomyosis. I am bleeding for one year now tried pills and progestin nothing worked. 🙁🙁🙁 Thinking of having hysterectomy soon. In shaa Allah. Watching some random videos now about hysterectomy 🤕🤕🤕
I had my hysterectomy dec 2018 at age 38 with 0 kids. November 2017 I had a myomectomy and by April of 2018 my fibroids were back. I've always had painful long heavy cycles. I was very emotional a week after I made the decision to have surgery, but I knew it was the only way to have my LIFE back. I'm glad that you are doing well ❤
Wow your fibroids returned. I understand how you feel not having children. Its hard but you are healthy and safe. God bless you. Xxxxx hope you are feeling better. Xxxx
I am 37 and I am going in for a total hysterectomy in 2 weeks. I am nervous about having to be on Hormone therapy for such a long time. How are you feeling now?
This is so similar to my story! I had my hysterectomy almost a week ago and I'm 38. I had a myomectomy almost exactly 2 years ago and 8 fibroids were removed. He left 2 very large ones to try and save my fertility. I started going through an ultra tampon with a pad every 1.5 hours. I was debilitated. It wasn't fair to my husband. We made this decision and now I'm more concerned with his mental health. He says he's ok but idk 😪
"Get your life back!" those are the words that helped me in my decision. I've suffered for decades, since my twenties. I'm 54 now and I'm about to have my hysterectomy. Fibroids and enlarged uterus is so uncomfortable. - Your video is helpful to many of us. ♥♥
Hello from New Zealand, I'm 41, lost a dear and cherished child at 14 weeks at 22. I'm about to have a partial laparoscopy hysterectomy in 4 days. I can't thank you enough for hearing your words of compassion, I really needed to hear those kind words. I don't feel alone in this anymore, I know I have a band of sisters all over the world who have gone before me. You offered kindess and hope today. Thank you sister.xxxxxxx
I'm in the hospital now about to go in surgery in a couple of hours, having a c section and full hysterectomy....I'm literally shaking texting this but I'm scared and sad.... But thank God before this surgery I decide this was my last child I currently will have three once the baby is born in a couple hours.......... But please pray for me all prayers 🙏 🙏 🙏 are welcome
Thank you for this video. I’m having a hysterectomy in two weeks and I’m 43 with no kids. I had a myomectomy in 2010 and here I am again with huge fibroids. I’m sad that I never had kids but as long as I can keep my ovaries there is hope. A friend said she would carry the baby for me. I pray life gets better for me. Thank you for your encouragement.
Make sure to talk to your doctor about your estrogen, brain, bones, sex (vagina), hair and skin before you decide. Also, make sure you are at a good weigh before th procedure (losing is almost impossible). I kept my ovaries and 9 month later my ovaries stopped working, bringing more issues than what the doctor told me Id have.
Same here, I had my surgery june 13 everything went smoothly very little pain after surgery and also once I got home. was active before & after so that made my recovery that much more faster. lost 5inches on my waistline. First time in years I’ve been able to wear dresses, I don’t have to hide my fibroid belly no more
I had my surgery 2017 and 3 years later I feel fine and sometimes I forget I had the surgery. My recovery went very well. Day one was ok,day 2 and 3 was horrible and by day 5 and 6 I felt fine. I watched videos on youtube and they scared the hell out of me. If anyone out there is scared or worried you'll be just fine.
@@winterblain4742 it's not as bad as you think. Your recovery depends on you!!! So if you go in with the mind set of a fast recovery you'll recover fast. I promise some of these people who had a hysterectomy make it seem horrible. Yes the first few days are uncomfortable but you'll heal and go on about your life.
I had this life changing surgery a week ago and I am glad I am not alone. My fibroids were symptomatic to the point where I had to get blood transfusions. This by far is the most traumatic experience I’ve had. Just happy I am alive and already have daughter plus I will not suffer again each month making trips to the ER. Thank you for the video.
Thank you for posting, Vilma. On my 40th birthday I was released from the hospital after my hysterectomy due to endometriosis. I have no children, but I'm happy this happened to me, because I was always prepared to live without them. I had no issues and still have none, almost ten years later. I too have my life back.
I turned 40 and had a hysterectomy a week afterwards. I have no kids, but also never wanted any. I have 3 bonus babies with my husband and 2 goddaughters that I love dearly… so I’m fine with no biological kids.,
I was diagnosed with endometrial cancer..0 kids..life or death..i chose life..i was feeling so down..march 9 2021 was my surgery..but reading the comments i see i am def not alone..thank you for this video
Thank you for giving this perspectives- my experience was similar in some ways and completely opposite in others. It feels good to have a community of “hysterectomy warriors”
I just had my hysterectomy on Monday. This is day number three. I’m trying to take it easy. I’m still learning how to sleep so that it won’t hurt so much. My story is a little bit different. I found out I had a huge fibroid when I originally thought it was just sciatic pain. I just turned 39 today…no kids. I didn’t have heavy periods but the fibroid was sitting on my sciatic nerve causing me to have extreme back and leg pain. Im not sad that I don’t have kids… I have 8 godbabies and I work with kids. When the doctor said that I could possibly grow another fibroid if they just take the fibroid. I had an amazing surgeon he asked me every time I had a visit “Are you sure you want to do this”. He even gave me a month to make a decision.
I had an amazing surgeon as well… he kept asking me the same thing as well as how was I emotionally, seeing that I had an emotional time at one of my visits. I’m 3 days post op, but this was the best thing for me. I had a supportive surgeon, husband, family, nurses, co-workers and friends. I’ve been blessed with this great support system ans truly believe this stress-free time is what is helping me heal. 🙏🏾
This made me cry because you explained just how I feel. My fibroids have derailed my life as I'm anemic from so much blood loss and always feel weak, tired and cold. I can't leave the house for 3 days each month having to deal with the flooding and sheer exhaustion. I'm almost in menopause and I'm thinking of removing my uterus so I have take hormone replacement for the rest of my life to save my bones and overall health. Estrogen will make them grow, so I don't see why I should get them removed only to find they have grown back. Thank you for sharing. It really helps. Glad you are feeling empowered again!
Thank you for this video I am on week 3 of my hysterectomy and I have really been going through the motions a lot of ups and downs and emotional roller-coaster. This video and all the comments from other women who has gone through this, it let's me know I'm not alone thank you for this uplift and sharing your story
Thank you so much for this. I'm about to have this procedure in August and I am going through a plethora of emotions. They're going to be doing a full hysterectomy on me. I'm watching a lot of videos and I find them more helpful than I thought I would. So thank you.
Thank you for sharing this! My wife is scheduled to have a hysterectomy and I asked her to imagine what life will be like after and she said that she imagined sadness. I told her that I could see why. A woman's mental-emotional motivation for being is largely tied to her ability to bear children. I think that it's a crushing blow to anyone to have a large portion of your purpose voluntarily removed aka to shut the door permanently and suddenly on it rather than always have the idea there looming in the background that you are a potential child-bearer. And it doesn't matter how great the upside is. You have to come to terms with the psychological effects of the change. I want you to know that you are "Whole" as a being. Having a uterus, functional or not, doesn't define your being. I believe that we all, as humans, struggle with the concept of "wholeness" regardless of the issue. I see this with drug addicts who use to escape their sense of 'lack of wholeness'. I see it men in the gym who abuse steroids in order to provide a sense of purpose to mask their feelings of inadequacy and false sense of lack of wholeness. The point is that I dont want you or anyone else to ever feel alone because of this false sense. I believe that we all come here to experience and meet this challenge and mirage of "lacking wholeness" as part of our soul journey so that we can face, overcome, learn from it and then teach others, just like you're doing with this video. We may be born with different deficits and gifts, but we are all whole. Nothing is missing. Thanks again for creating this video!
I imagine this mental emotions myself of emptyness and so much more.. scares me thinking about having your uterus removed. ... thanks for the words.. blessings fo u and yours
Thank so much for this word of encouragement. I just turn 42, no kids, heavy bleeding with several large fibroids and my only option is getting a hysterectomy- literally saw the doctor and was told that. Felt sad, so seeing how you support your spouse and those reading your comment like myself. Thank you.
Thank you so much for posting your video. I so needed to hear those words " I want my life back"! My procedure is this coming Friday, Jan 22, 2021. I'm not looking forward to this surgery, but I am looking forward to NOT having anymore embarrassing /heavy periods! This has been a very hard and tough decision to make, but I'm tired of being anemic/feeling weak and having to get iron infusions. So this is what I need to do. Thank you again for your video and the encouragement.
I am so glad to hear someone who has felt the emotional ups and downs like I have and I am now. You said so many things that I felt. I really feel you understand the same things I have been thinking. I was a very hard decision for me as well. I was sad to think of losing my uterus. I was attached to it. It gave me 3 children. I want to cry off and on when I see a pregnant person or someone I know just had a baby. I am 46. 2 weeks post op. I had pelvic/bladder pain for last 2 years. Unknown reasons. Nothing obviously wrong with any of my female insides. It was so tough to decide because of this but I finally decided I had to give this surgery a chance to see if it can fix me. I couldn’t keep living in pain. I am hoping it will work. I hear everyone’s after hysterectomy stories and they sound so positive. I am hoping this will be me. To feel good again. To be myself. I am so glad you are doing so well and thank you so much for sharing!!
I had this procedure done 33 years ago after having 4 children. I was truly suffering every month embarrassed and so on . Today I am sooooooooo happy I did it since then I am really enjoying my life.
This is so encouraging... I just had mine done it's almost been 3 weeks. I use to pass out days after having my cycle from heavey periods, I have gotten blood transfusion and my hemoglobin has been from 4 to 5... I am looking forward to feeling strong again. Thank you for making this video...I stubbled across this and I'm glad I did.
So grateful for this video. I just had to have a hysterectomy due to placenta previa and accreta and third trimester bleeding that wouldn't stop the third time. I'm grateful for my children and have suffered with endometriosis for years too so many miracles. I've been so traumatised by the whole thing. Needed bladder surgery to and got my ureters shaved. Still have painful stents in. So grateful my little preemie survived too. Forever grateful but also so sad and grieving.
You give me hope you’re an angel. Thank you for your time and effort you’re really helping a lot of women like me to stay positive. Thank you and may God bless you and your family.
I too had an hysterectomy back in 2013. I can honestly say that I do not miss having my menstruel cycle. I had fibroid that was causing me great pain and thus depleting my iron. I was tired all the time, so I am glad I had the procedure. I am almost 50 years old and am going through menopause. Horrible night sweats.
this video has helped me so much. ive been searching for information about feelings, and what to expect. i cried because youre the only one who has SPOKE to me. im in the waiting for a hysterectomy, and terrified to death. i feel so much better now that ive seen this. thank you so much!!!!!!!!!!
Hi Trinity. I’m so pleased you have found my video helpful. What you are telling is normal and from experience, I went through the same!! But you’ll be fine and your life will be so much better ❤️
Thank you for sharing. Had 2 Laparoscopy to take out my fibroids but it kept coming back and end up having a hysterectomy in the end. Was blessed with 3 kids so no plans of having anymore. Feeling much much better now. No more 2-3 weeks of bleeding and also no more anemia.
I cant begin to tell you how much I appreciate someone consoling me about having a hysterectomy for my health but dealing with the intense hurt of wanting kids. My family has avoided that issue because its genuinely a deep hurt for me.
I have normal menstruation. No heavy periods. Started having fibroids for 11 yrs. Its just the last year that I felt different. Abdominal pain, heavy bleeding and my latest ultrasound and MRI. I have infection on my right fallopian tube, my left fallopian tube had a cyst and burst. So there was heavy bleeding. Then last year, got diagnosed with endometriosis. The pain got worst and fibroids got bigger and it just making me very uncomfortable in everything. I can’t do my usual stuff(sports, dancing,hiking etc). Life has not been fun and not easy lately. So my doctor decided for total hysterectomy in the next 2 months. I am 48, no kids. This video makes me understand better and felt less anxious. Thank you for sharing your story.
You have no idea how much I needed this. I am 6 weeks out and I’m still a little emotional 🥹. I’ve gained weight I still feeling a lot of pressure. Thank much for this! Very happy I had it done as well!
Thank you for your post. I am 7 days Post Op and I keep thinking that I'm a wuss as I'm still moving really slowly. After watching this, I feel that I'm not alone. I am inspired and focussing on better days to come. Bless you 💞
I'm sorry you had such a rough experience! I'm two weeks post and I'm so grateful that it was such an easy, pain free procedure for me. the hardest part is remembering that I just had surgery and need to take it easy! I'm sharing this so other women know that the experience can vary, greatly. I had an ankle surgery last year that was incredibly rough and I'm still recovering all this time later.... before hand, everyone said that would be easy and it definitely was not. It's strange how the body reacts so differently to the same procedure ❤
I had my hysterectomy on 6/3. I am now feeling back to normal. Best decision of my life. I was able to go back to work part time after 3 weeks. I had the laparoscopic surgery. 4 small abdominal incisions.
I FINALLY have my surgery date & it’s January 22nd🥰🥰 I cried when the secretary told me, dealing with cramps that’s similar to labor pains is so stressful.
My Sister had a massive Fybroides that had to be cut out and she felt that her Doctors strongly urged her to also take out her uterus and tubes as well...However, once she had that surgery she was never the same again, because she so desperately wanted to have children. She fell into a deep dark depression that she couldn't get out of. She unfortunately passed away a year ago, I believe from a broken heart. I pray your video will help women who feel hopeless and depressed can get through this challenge with positivity and faith. Thank you so much for sharing your journey with us. It was truly touching and helpful. God bless you my love🙏🏾💗.
Hello Johnnel. I’m saddened to hear about your sister. I pray that GOD will comfort you and your family EACH and EVERY DAY with his LOVE and UNDERSTANDING. God bless you .
Wow! that is sooo sad and heart breaking! People must understand the a woman's reproductive system is like a jewel to her. they don't always work properly or not at all but the fact that they are apart of a woman's entire being/femininity plays a huge role psychologically. Physically we may feel on top of the world after a hysterectomy but mentally it's too close to home. I suppose there's a bright and dark side to everything. I have two beautiful daughters but after I had my 2and child at 28 I was done done! Didn't want anymore children by choice I have fibroids but they have grown over the years so it's time to have this procedure. My mind goes back & forth with emotions but as I said, it takes a mentally strong person to have this procedure. I knew it was time when every month I couldn't even stand because of the flooding. People will normally miss work because of sickness or appointments but I've had a history of missing work because I was too anemic to move from the bed. when it get to the point where you are hemorrhaging to the point of severe weakness hysterectomy becomes the only option. These fibroids stole over 20yrs of my life so yes, they must go ASAP. Mentally I will get past the sadness but I will never get past the countless years feeling drained as if I just delivered a child. To postpone this surgery would mean I'm giving these blood-sucking demons power so they must go to get my life back...period May your beautiful sister Rest in Paradise...she doesn't have suffer anymore for there is truly a light especially for her in the heavens!
great testimony, i had my hysterectomy on june 20 2022 and even though i got an infection and the healing process is now taking longer, iam so grateful to God!!! i too feel like i have a second chance at life. Fibroids stop my quality of life, now i can't wait to heal so i can spend time with my kids and not be so tired all the time. Thanks for sharing your story :)
I started having problems from the time I started my periods. Heavy periods, throwing up, pain for 3-4 days , and fainting from elementary through my 40’s. I have 2 daughters, 12 years apart. I had my surgery at 47. They found I had endometriosis also. A lot of uterine tissues outside the uterus attached everywhere. I have my ovaries. You wonder why didn’t you do it earlier. No pain.
I am 49 and am realizing it's time for mine. I am so sad about it - I have a 17 y/o about to go to college. But, I need to get back to me. I think my son is my miracle child, too😊.
I had a mommy makeover in 2019 and this is when I learned I had a fibroid. The doc told me after coming out of surgery, when he was tucking me, there was a bulge. 4 months later post surgery I decided to go to confirm what he thought was a fibroid and it was indeed. My fibroid was the size of a grapefruit and I also had a few smaller ones as well. I did not have any symptoms which is why I didn’t know I had a fibroids until I had surgery. Long story short I had my surgery a year after my mommy makeover “Total with removal of my tubes” I am so glad I chose the laparoscopy cause I was afraid if I had to be cut open it would effect my muscles that were just repaired. I am only a few weeks post opt and feel fantastic! Thanks for sharing your story!!
Thanks for sharing your story. I had a tummy tuck 3 years ago, and now I’m getting a robotic hysterectomy, I’m so worry about the inflation of my tummy because I feel that I don’t have space and my stomach is completely flat. Is that going to be an issue? I’m just worried not having space to perform the surgery. 😏🙏
I just had a hysterectomy December 2nd 2021. I feel amazing and it's the best self care I have done for myself. I kept my ovaries. I'm 51 and have 1 child.
Just stumbled on your video and I just wanted to say thank you..I had my hysterectomy 9 months now due to cervical cancer. I have one child a son...I still do feel a little depressed on and off.. I had my cervix, fallopian tubes, uterus, right pelvic lining and my right ovaries removed..still have pains sometimes, but thanks be to God I am doing much better. All the very best to you my sister ❤
Thank you for sharing your story, it was very insightful. I will be scheduling my surgery in a few weeks and am terrified, your story has given me some peace of mind. God bless
I was diagnosed with endometriosis 3 years ago and I’ve been taking pills to stop my periods. Although I mentioned it, my gyno didn’t expose a hysterectomy as an option. Last year, I asked for a second opinion and literally asked to get the surgery done. I’ve already had a bunch of tests and I’m waiting for a date confirmation. It is my body and it is my choice. I’m 40, have a 11 y/o boy and no desire of having more kids. Just wanted to say THANK YOU! Listening to your testimony gave me more confidence about my decision and, especially, a lot of hope about my life changing for good ☺️☺️☺️
Thank you so much for sharing your Journey with us! I am going through the same problem. I have Endometriosis! I am only 37yrs old with no children I have been struggling with Heavy periods and lots of pains,suffer from Fibrods too back in 2018 I had Surgery they removed my fibroids and they also removed my right fallopian tube,it took me a year to heal from the Surgery .and the problem never get solved.i found a new doctor and I jus had a surgery back in February 2020, and he put Marina on and i have been Bleeding since then, my last option is to get my Uterus removed and it still hard for me to accept that I won't be able to have kids ever in my life. I am even struggling dating because of this problem. Thank you again for lifting my spirit I was crying too when you were getting emotional ❤
Hi Abby - I'm so sorry my dear that you have been going through this for so long. One of my best friends also has endometriosis. The doctors have yet to tell her to have a hysterectomy as they dont believe it will solve her problem. It's so hard. Thank you for watching and for going through the emotions with me ⚘
Hang in there sis. Thanx for sharing I can relate. Take your time even though you feel like you are running out of it. Every day is a day you can still choose what you want to do. . Wish you the best 💫
@abby cele Don't give up...Pray first and then go get a second, third, and even a fourth opinion before giving up on the option to have kids if that's what your heart desire. I put the surgery off for several years for various reasons. But don't let a hysterectomy be your last resort. Exhaust all other options before choosing to have the hysterectomy. I have a friend who was told she would never have children and went to fertility Dr's, at age 41 she just had her third child. Don't give up on your hearts desires. Face the challenges by exhausting all the other options before choosing the one to end all hope.
I'm 32, have PCOS and endo and I am going to have a total hysterectomy and ovary removal in the coming months. I'm scared but I'm tired of the pain. No children - I wouldn't make a good mom and I've been told that my chances of conception are low anyways. There's a part of me that wishes I could have a daughter just to keep a piece of MY mom's lineage going in the world but I know you can be a mom in other ways if you want to later on so that's why I'm going to do it. I don't have plans to settle with anyone either. Dating history has been a nightmare. The thought of pregnancy and birth always frightened me anyways tbh and I'm not very patient with children. I'm just not maternal AT ALL. I want to do this procedure more for the pain relief and cutting out the risk of ovarian and uterine cancer too. I'm scared of surgery in general, but I think this is the best choice for me.
Thank you for sharing your story. I've been diagnosed with urine fibroids back in 2021. Sometimes I'm in a lot of discomfort. Now I'm exploring my options for treatment.
This is by far the best video about fibroid experience on RUclips in my opinion. From start to finish, I totally appreciate your empathy, sympathy concern and understanding. And I completely respect your testimony and journey. I will be going in for my hysterectomy tomorrow morning and by far looking at this video has reinforced my decision and reasoning for doing this. I know it has to be done otherwise I will be going through the same fibroid issues again. I was blessed to have two children, and even though in the far corner of my mind I would have loved to have had a little girl as I have two boys now, after the miscarriage, I know that I am in no position to fight or complain. I'm very grateful and thankful and I am looking forward to having a fibroid free body.
Hello lovely - thank you so much for leaving me this wonderful message filled with kindness and words of wisdom. I do very much appreciate your time just to be here and to have shared a portion of your life as a woman and as a mother. I hope that God continues to bless you on your journey ❤️
Thank you Vilma, I am new to your channel and this is the first video I’ve seen of you (actually saw it a couple of months ago for the first time). It is very sad how one can feel so alone when many women suffer from this condition. My husband is not empathetic at all, and feel like I never do enough because I am always tired. I just talked today to my PMP and he is referring me to an OBGYN. Thankfully I have two children already and watching your video for a second time today (with a clearer mind) has given me the courage to speak to my doctor and follow the steps to better myself, I’ve known I have fibroids since 2018 when pregnant with my 2nd child, and after he was born I when through a rollercoaster of emotions along with depression that I just kept postponing surgery, it was just not the time, my gynecologist back then gave me two options, the pill or surgery. I decided to stay on the pill but after two years I am still having the same symptoms and bleeding. The reality is that I am not the happy, funny, achieving person that I used to be before. My marriage is hanging from a thread and my health has deteriorated a lot and feel helpless sometimes. You don’t know how much watching this video again has helped me. I am focusing on my physical health today, I can’t keep everything and everyone together in my home anymore without my health. Thank you and God bless you and your family.
Hi Romina - thank you for taking the time in writing this message. Before I go any further, I want you to know that what you are feeling is normal. Alone, misunderstood, not in control or your emotions and body...its all normal. At least for me as I went through the same. I am sorry to hear that your husband is not giving you the support you need...maybe he doesn't know how and you may need to show him. I did a video sharing my story before my surgery. I would love for you to watch it and possibly watch it with your husband...maybe seeing other people sharing what they went through which is the same as you...maybe it will open his mind to the possibility that he's the one who needs to do more as at the moment, you are in need of him more than ever. The video is emotional...but it shows light of the problem and by all the comments under that video, he can see so many women go through this in silence. ruclips.net/video/JmsVzHVUFaQ/видео.html I remember a Male leaving me a message saying he now understands what his girlfriend is going through. He thank me for helping him see the truth.... I hope you get the treatment needed and that your recovery brings you your life back ❤
Thank you for this video. I had my hysterectomy 5 days ago. Kept my ovaries and cervix. I have two kids 10 and 13. I’m feeling emotional today and realise how much I have gone through with my fibroids. I feel free and relieved I can finally get my life back!
Thank you Ma'am. I just randomly came across your channel. Thank you for your support. I just had Hysterectomy done today. This gas they put in your body to get a better look of insides really hurts. Not to mention feeling constipated as well. I've just took my Hydrocodone n back to rest for now. 💕
I’m about to have my hysterectomy bc they found endometrial cancer I haven’t had any kids I had 4 miscarriages 😢 But God has the total control Thanks for sharing your experience
Thank you for sharing this video. I am actually having my Hysterectomy done this Friday January 7th. I am 44 and have been blessed with 2 children so losing my "woman parts" isn't a concern. I, however have never had surgery. I am nervous about waking up in pain and the recovery. I'm getting it done Laparoscopicly so I'm praying that it isn't too bad but the nerves are still there. It's really nice to read all of the comments from these really strong women. Let's me know I'm not alone ❤
Hello sister I get rid of my fibroid naturally with herbal medicine Am finally a mother today , because of fibroids my tubes was block for 6years I and my husband was having issue because of my situation no child when I was Searching online on RUclips about fibroids I saw a testimony about dr Omo so I write him and place order for his herbs 🌿 today I have 2weeks old baby now he can help you get rid of your fibroids naturally Herb's work like magic.
How did your hysterectomy go? and how do you feel? did you keep your ovaries and did this procedure in any way affect your sexuality in terms of functions as a woman?
No one hardly talks about the psychological distress caused by fibroids, hysterectomies, endometriosis etc. Is there any professional mental health recourse for women dealing with female issues?
I guess it’s down to each person to share what they feel comfortable with. I was not in any psychological distress. At least not to the point of seeking medical help. But I can imagine some ladies may go through this. It’s always best to speak to a doctor or medical provider
Thank you for this video it gives me courage to make a decision that will really help me. I'm also suffering from heavy bleeding because of my fibroid, your video is very inspirational because after all the struggle your happy to tell your story that can give strength to other people. Getting emotional right now😭
Thank you for sharing Its been 8 week since I had my hysterectomy I feel so much better a weight lift even my mood is better and no pain anymore due to firbords took a two years to get diagnosed. I suffered joints pain,fatigued dizzy spell weight gain heart issues. I felt at times no one believed me but my due to covid a lot of people have been left in pain and suffering. But I have to say my doctor she was amazing she said it was a tough surgery as one of the fibroid bout 14cm was basically sitting in the birth canal also ment I have to be opened on my tummy. But I really am 1000th % better then I was before my op. Thanks again for sharing you look amazing ❤ I am a mom of two boys and just turned 40 and I feel alive again x ❤️💕
Thank you for sharing this Vilma. Need this. I'm one of the people who you spoke to being in my thirties and not having kids yet. Dealing with fibroids and dr's focussing on removing my uterus.... cause that's the only thing they have to offer. I felt it deep in my bones when you said 'getting your quality of life back' and having the feeling that you are lost. Cause nobody seems to understand. I understand why you get emotional. I have it all the time 'if' I talk about it. Not having control over your own body and mind is dramatic. . I have hope.... I am grateful for you sharing your story... I hope you will continue on being happy with yourself.... .. I wish myself the best as well when a change is gonna come.
You're beautiful and so is your daughter ❤️ I really appreciate you sharing your story. I am seven weeks past a hysterectomy, lost my uterus, fallopian tubes and a 11 cm fibroid. I don't feel normal and I am struggling with waves of sadness. I wasn't expecting this to be such a struggle, maybe I was just so naive. Sitting is really rough, especially on hard surfaces. It helps to know I am not alone and to hear other women's experiences. God bless you.
Stay strong lovely. It will get better, I promise!!! You need to deal with one thing at a time. 1st your health. 2nd your emotions. 3rd your journey ahead. It will get better ❤️🩹
I’m so glad I came across this video... I’ve been battling with making a decision to have the procedure done or not.. I’m at a point where I feel like I’ve tried everything and I’m still have the same issues of super prolonged cycles due to the fibroid... I did have it partially removed but they could not get the entire fibroid due to the location.. I’m currently trying one more method to see if that helps but if not I am going to have this procedure done. I have a child by birth and bonus children who only know me as mom since they were little so I’m blessed to have be able to have the child bearing experience and I don’t know if my body could handle it again but mentally I can and will not continue to go through the struggles of my cycle anymore... it’s been 3 almost 4 years and everyone I talk to it view online all are happy after it’s done. I know is not an easy decision for most including myself but I want control of my life and my body again..
If you are under 50 years old, make sure to talk to your doctor about your estrogen, brain, bones, sex (vagina), hair and skin before you decide. Also, make sure you are at a good weigh before th procedure (losing is almost impossible). I kept my ovaries and 9 month later my ovaries stopped working, bringing more issues than what the doctor told me Id have.
I had a hysterectomy in 2013, I was unable to conceive, and because of my condition I was not a candidate for laparoscopic surgery. Recovery was very difficult and I started menopause early.
I'm still struggling with the emotions from February of 2022. I felt better after my surgery but when I got home and alone it hit me. I started therapy. I encourage every woman who experience this to go afterwards.
Love yourself & enjoy a better life without suffering ,,,you not alone in that situation ,there are many ladies out here still suffering ,enjoy your life now
Hello my beautiful friend! Sorry for late response but I’m playing catch up on RUclips. This was such a good video! It takes me down this dark path I was years ago. A lot of women has been down this road but God bless you and us all because it’s dark road to go down. But by the Grace of God we made it. I pray this video touched someone or many. It touched me because I thought about where I been on that journey and where am at today. God is good. Love always and be safe my friend ❤️
I am 40 and struggling with fibroids that makes me have spotting for almost 10 days after 4 heavy days on my period. Sometimes I feel sad and depressed because it’s affected my husband as well. I have a new gynecologist now after 3 years I followed another one with any changes, I hope with this new one I can have my life back. I thank God because I have 2 handsome boys, it’s a blessing. Your videos are so inspiring and your daughter is a little angel. I really love your channel. Be blessed 😍
I didn’t subscribe to your channel at first and I couldn’t find you again ! I’m having my surgery tomorrow and i found you! So glad I did !!! Feeling a little emotional and scared tonight ! My surgery is at 730 in the morning ! Pray for me!
@@vilmasclosett Thank you so much! Surgery went well I’m home now! Taking it easy! A little pain mainly gas waiting on that bowel movement to take place! Thank you for this video and I love your channel ❤️
@@MsQueenB ohh my you are home? I’m soooo pleased all went well!! Yes, much needed rest is required for you now!! Wishing a speedy recovery my lovely ☺️
Thank you such a beautiful honest video, I have been suffering with depression for years due to large fibroids I don't have a life the pain and the bleeding is too much. My stomach is so big that I don’t like to go outside, I hate summer because I know I can't hide behind a big coat. I had three c sections due to large fibroids and several surgeries, but my fibroids keep coming back larger. My womb is completely full of fibroids I look like a full term pregnancy. Looking forward to my hysterectomy waiting for an operation date so I can finally have a life. 💯% can't wait.
Such an uplifting and encouraging video 💕 thank you for sharing your experience. I will be going for this very soon too. I am 37 and have no kids as of now but have registered for adoption. With prayers and divine love it never made me feel depressed that I won't be able to conceive. A soul is a soul, it may choose your tummy or someone else's it doesn't matter. The soul who is destined to be a part of your life, always finds its way. I choose health over any artificial treatments to have kids. Your healthy body, peace of mind is so important I feel. If you crave for motherhood, there are other ways. I also wish to spread this msg to all women undergoing the same health concerns.. Sending u love from India ❤️
What a wonderful video. I'm having an abdominal hysterectomy next month and I'm very scared. I heard that removing the uterus can change the structure of your posture as the uterus ligaments hold your posture in place. Did you experience this?
Thank you for being so bold and courageous to share your story. I so needed this story since I am facing this challenge currently. God bless you and keep you!❤️
Thank you for putting out this video. I'm about to have a hysterectomy and I'm excited. I've been trying to have a hysterectomy for YEARS and it just never happened for some reason. Now that I'm dealing with a LOT more fibroids and done having children, it's time. I look pregnant all the time and on the pill to keep from having 3 periods a month.....yes, I said 3! the fibroids are causing immense pain and I'm excited to get off the pill and move on with my life.
Hi Diane - I’m pleased you are going to finally be free from the pain and discomfort you have been dealing with!!! I wish you a super speedy recovery 💕
I was having 3 periods a month myself! I gained so much weight, even though I was barely eating at times. I have an ob gyn appt to determine if I want to have a hysterectomy… and I’m leaning more on the side of yes. I cant deal with the blood loss, fatigue, weight gain, having to feel like you are by yourself and alone.
Thank you for this. I’m 29 and have one child who was hard to have. I literally just got home from my surgery and although I’m sad that I couldn’t have another child I feel ok with it. I am so glad that you are happy now and enjoying your life. Your daughter is beautiful
Ola Teresita - thank you for sharing a bit of your journey. Yes, I was ready for the surgery and ready to be and feel healthy. Almost 3 years have past and I feel great! Stay blessed my lovely and a speedy recovery 🌸
I came across your video thank you so much for sharing. I was in tears I needed to hear this video. I am scheduled for a hysterectomy on July 19 I'm so afraid but it's a necessary step for me. I could relate to so many things you said. I also have been suffering with heavy periods and terrible pain. I have endometriosis the quality of my life has diminished! I also have 1 child Thank God who is 14 yrs of age that I want to be healthy enough to raise him❤ This video has eased alot of my fears I pray my surgery is a success such as yours🙏
@@Itsmyytimee yes it did thanks for asking! I feel pretty good right now first 4 days or do was pretty rough so now I'm feeling more like myself! Trying not to over do it. Lol Thanks for asking 🥰
Vilma, Thank you so much for sharing your personal journey with us. You are Beautiful & your daughter is truly a Blessing. I am 51 years old. Never have been married or kids & I have decided to get a hysterectomy, finally. Like you said, why get my fibroid removed when they will come back again. I am the oldest of 5. I have been an instant mom from the age of 8 years old. I love children with all my heart, I just did not want to have any myself. So My periods instead of getting lighter, because of the fibroid they have gotten extremely heavy. I can't power walk, I can't hike, I can't sit down any where at any time my first 3 days on my period, when I get up they do not make anything thick enough to hold the flow. In the middle of the night, I wake up 4 to 5 times to run to the bathroom. It is like a river, no lie. I have taken care of my blood to make sure I do not become enemic, but I can't wait till I am 55 like my mom when she finished. Absolutely Not! I can't go anywhere do anything I like to do, because I start my period every two weeks all over again. Stress is out of the question. I bleed all over again when I am under a lot of stress. So, I am listening and watching different videos, and I just want to know if my insides will be okay with that part of my body missing. This one Indian Doctor was saying all kinds of stuff what our body will be like without the organ of the uterus missing. Constipated, won't be able to pee, all kids of weird things. You did not say anything about that, so I am assuming everyone is different. God Bless You, & keep me in your prayers. June 2024 is my surgery. God Bless You & Your Beautiful Family. Daniela
Im super late but what a beautiful testimony Vilma, I normally watch for the fashion vids but this really gave me some insight. I just turned 40 and have been suffering from severe Anemia since my teens due to heavy flow with chronic pain n fainting, blood transfusions hormone pills you name it smh. Ive often wondered if this procedure would help and now that Im sure that we're done having babies (we also have 1) you just reminded me to bring up the convo with my doctor again...thx girl😉
Hey hun - thank you so much for watching and for sharing your current symptoms. Yes, have a conversation with your doctor. Super important to make an important decision 😘
I want to thank you for this video. I was diagnosed with Fibroids after I almost fainted at work. I had been feeling weak but just made excuses and when that happened my co-worker said you need to go get checked. I went and had some blood work and I had SEVERE anemia. I was having heavy periods, longer cycles,and had ruined several bed sheets. I described my symptoms and my Dr. said you need to go to a GYN. I did and the utlra sound came back 2 small fibroids. that was Jan 2020. May 2020 I had an ablation which helped slightly but not really. but now my periods are so unpredictable it's scary. Sometimes heavy, sometimes not at all. start and stops whenever. it's crazy! My concern is what about my job I cant call off. Women we care so much about others and not ourselves. I am not living life. I'm always concerned about when I'm going to start bleeding or for how long. My whole life is centered around my period.. Enough is enough. I'm 45 no kids and never wanted any so I'm not sad but it is a major procedure and scary to think about being cut and recovery and pain but what is the alternative??? Suffering, ruined clothes, no vacations, being paranoid and anxious.. no no no. Ladies if your life is on hold because of your bleeding pause. weigh the pros and cons and get the surgery from an experienced doctor. I had a gyn appointment for tomorrow but my random period started so I had to rescheduled my check up. But once this passes I'm going to schedule my Hysto. I want to keep my ovaries for hormones but they can have my uterus and cervix. I'm with you all in spirit
I was literally on the last day of my period when i had my hysterectomy… i was like “this is the perfect way to say goodbye to a life of misery that periods, fibroids, etc gave me for 31 years. I’m 3 days post-op… and only been nauseous and had vomiting ( i do this after every sutgery) and got some gas pains, but overall i’m happy with the decision. 40 and no kids.
Thank you so much to all of you who watched this video with me. I really appreciate you being here and listening to my story. Ofcourse this is only my story and not everyone may experience the same pain and emotions as myself. We are all unique in our own way. Again, thank you for being here ❤️
I think your story will give the woman courage to make often difficult decisions. I know why I enjoy watching your video so much. Because you are not only beautiful and inspirational woman, but above all honest, intelligent and simply good. Keep it up:)

Thank you for sharing your experience ❤️
Hi Vilma! Thanks for your video! I just have abdominal total hysterectomy with both ovaries and tubal removal 2 weeks ago. My emotional is like on a roller coasters!
Fibroids are sooo painful. Had my hysterectomy last week and everything is gone, including my cervix. I feel SOOO MUCH BETTER!!! Robotic surgery was ABSOLUTELY NOTHING....felt incredible after just 3 days. Secret is Moltrin 800mg, walking and sitting up. For anyone facing this, GIRL YOU'VE GOT THIS! YOU'LL FEEL SOOOO MUCH BETTER❤❤❤🙏🙏🙏👍👍👍👍
Amy L. - You are absolutely right! I had my procedure done May 3rd and I feel amazing and bored from sitting home lol. I drank plenty of water and drinking celery juice for bowel movements. I had no issues!
Thanks so much for the support!
I have to get one and I’m scared
@@tiffanymonet470 I'm having my procedure done in 3 weeks. I am very anxious. How are you doing now? Any tips I should keep in mind? I've never had surgery before. I'm in my early 50's.
@@bwhatever60 Hello Barbara! You will be just fine. I'am doing great today and I wish I 'd done this sooner. I feel like a new person. I have no pain, I'm walking around, bleeding has stopped, body is getting slimmer hence (fasting). Some tips I suggest is drinking plenty of water, drinking a green smoothie everyday to get bowels moving, eat lots of protein (Fish, chicken, eggs, cottage cheese, plain yogurt. Eat good carbs (Brown rice, sweet potato, quinoa ect). Please follow your doctor's post op directions. They are the experts and know what's best for you. God bless and I pray your surgery is a success. 🙌🏽 💪🏽

Can you answer my question? as of 2021 almost 2022 are you experiencing a prolapsed bladder or inconsistence I would like for you to honestly answer this question before I have this hysterectomy
@@honesty2476 howlong did the surgery take
I had a hysterectomy 2 months ago because of fibroids. Never had kids but I was not trying to. It still sucks that we have to loose parts of our anatomy because of these conditions.
I had a total hysterectomy 2 weeks ago as I had cancer and pre cancer in my womb I'm 42 had no children but I'd decided that I didn't want them.... Its a hard thing to go through but it saved my life.. Its a slow recovery but I will get there.. Thank you for your video ❤️
Wishing you a speedy recovery ❤️
Praying for the best @ karen!
how's your sex life? hurt or not
How are you feeling now?
@@rockandblues3635 it's fine I didn't have sex until about week 10 but no change at all
Thank you for starting your video with recognition to those of us who don’t have kids and now have to have a hysterectomy. Mine is in 9 days. My heart is heavy, but I know it’s for the best. Last week I had to have a blood transfusion because I’d been bleeding for 30+ days. People have no idea the mental pain we go through. I am praying for a good surgery and speedy recovery. Thanks for sharing your story.
Hello my lovely. I am so sorry that you are going through this tuff time. It’s truly not easy but there is light at the end of the tunnel. I wish you a speedy recovery and many years ahead of good and healthy life 🌹
Much love to you. My wife and I are going through that now. She was devastated that she wouldn’t even have a chance to carry a baby. She is a labor and delivery nurse si it makes it that much more difficult.
So so sorry my dear,I pray for a speedy recovery IJN
Hey sis! How are you feeling now? And how did the surgery go?
Sending hugs !!!
No Matter what your going through ladies. Remember God loves You .
Just had a full hysterectomy. I’m on day 4 of healing. I’m doing great. Glory to God! I’m moving slow. I woke this morning and got my first shower. I had my first bowel movement last night and I felt so much better. Thank you for this video your delivery was beautiful ♥️
I had an abdominal hysterectomy on June 13 was up and walking after recovering from surgery and was home the next day. Experienced very little pain throughout the entire operation after a month I went back to work.
Best decision in my life, plus I lost 5 inches on my waistline. I haven’t been able to where dresses in years because of the fibroid bulge, now I’m wearing everything
I too had my full hysterectomy 4 days ago and feeling stronger every day. Blessings from Merida México
How are you doing? After one year? @@honesty2476
I had a hysterectomy three weeks ago. Unfortunately, it was either that or continue having a daily period and severe pain. I was diagnosed with adenomyosis. My last menstrual period started in July, and never went away. After d and c, endometrial biopsy, oral contraceptives... nothing worked! Fortunately, I’m 46 years old, finished having children after one son I had 13 years ago. The pathology report revealed severe adenomyosis. No other option for me. My heart goes out to all the women suffering and who have to make the decision to get a hysterectomy . Trust God that everything will be fine.
This was my same exact experience. I always had rough and painful periods with heavy bleeding. Last year my periods started to last a full week. Then in August it just never went away. And I bled bled bled nonstop. Huge clotting and massive blood loss and I couldn’t predict when it would come. Adenomyosis as well as fibroids. So along with the pain and bleeding, I had to deal with anemia so severe I literally had to stop after walking a block to rest. I was bone tired. Hemoglobin down to single digits. Which I had to raise up with diet and iron transfusions just to be able to qualify for surgery. It was an ordeal and I’m glad it’s over. I’m 44 with 3 children 2 of which are grown so it was the best decision for me. My heart goes out to the women who were unable to have children before doing this.
Thanks for sharing I was just diagnosed this week. Sister also has it and doing light personal research before discussing with the dr.
Can I ask how you are now you're 4 months on? I am at the decision making stage for adenomyosis and endometriosis. I hope you're well xx
Im 38.i have adenomyosis. I am bleeding for one year now tried pills and progestin nothing worked. 🙁🙁🙁 Thinking of having hysterectomy soon. In shaa Allah.
Watching some random videos now about hysterectomy 🤕🤕🤕
Wow… I am 46 and I’m experiencing all of this! Hoping that the hysterectomy is going to give me my life back.
I had my hysterectomy dec 2018 at age 38 with 0 kids. November 2017 I had a myomectomy and by April of 2018 my fibroids were back. I've always had painful long heavy cycles. I was very emotional a week after I made the decision to have surgery, but I knew it was the only way to have my LIFE back.
I'm glad that you are doing well ❤
Hi Moni - thank for being here. I'm sorry you had to go through 2 surgeries. How are feeling ? ❤
Wow your fibroids returned. I understand how you feel not having children. Its hard but you are healthy and safe. God bless you. Xxxxx hope you are feeling better. Xxxx
Moni, how are you doing now? How's your life? Bladder issues, sex, how's your energy now?
I am 37 and I am going in for a total hysterectomy in 2 weeks. I am nervous about having to be on Hormone therapy for such a long time. How are you feeling now?
This is so similar to my story! I had my hysterectomy almost a week ago and I'm 38. I had a myomectomy almost exactly 2 years ago and 8 fibroids were removed. He left 2 very large ones to try and save my fertility. I started going through an ultra tampon with a pad every 1.5 hours. I was debilitated. It wasn't fair to my husband. We made this decision and now I'm more concerned with his mental health. He says he's ok but idk 😪
"Get your life back!" those are the words that helped me in my decision. I've suffered for decades, since my twenties. I'm 54 now and I'm about to have my hysterectomy. Fibroids and enlarged uterus is so uncomfortable. - Your video is helpful to many of us. ♥♥
I have fibroids too and am facing this decision. Did you feel a difference after the hysterectomy? In energy and comfort?

Am very much impressed about that

I'm in the hospital now about to go in surgery in a couple of hours, having a c section and full hysterectomy....I'm literally shaking texting this but I'm scared and sad.... But thank God before this surgery I decide this was my last child I currently will have three once the baby is born in a couple hours.......... But please pray for me all prayers 🙏 🙏 🙏 are welcome
Thank you for this video. I’m having a hysterectomy in two weeks and I’m 43 with no kids. I had a myomectomy in 2010 and here I am again with huge fibroids. I’m sad that I never had kids but as long as I can keep my ovaries there is hope. A friend said she would carry the baby for me. I pray life gets better for me. Thank you for your encouragement.
Hello Jamila - when we believe we will get better, it does happen. Stay focused on your health for now my lovely. I wish you a speedy recovery ❤️
Make sure to talk to your doctor about your estrogen, brain, bones, sex (vagina), hair and skin before you decide. Also, make sure you are at a good weigh before th procedure (losing is almost impossible). I kept my ovaries and 9 month later my ovaries stopped working, bringing more issues than what the doctor told me Id have.
@@vilmasclosett Many thanks indeed dear sister 💕
Yes that's what I'm afraid of. Now I have my hysterectomy scheduled for October. The doctor said a myomectomy the fibrods would most likely come back.
@@ABeautyAddict how are you feeling now? People rarely talk about the dark side of hysterectomy🤦🏽♀️
Had mine 2 weeks ago and it was the best decision of my life! Fibroids had me in a very dark place . This video was amazing 💗
It's one month now since I had this surgery, recuperating well at home now
@@marymugo8152 so glad to hear that💗
Same here, I had my surgery june 13 everything went smoothly very little pain after surgery and also once I got home. was active before & after so that made my recovery that much more faster. lost 5inches on my waistline.
First time in years I’ve been able to wear dresses, I don’t have to hide my fibroid belly no more
I love hearing these testimonies! My surgery is in 51 days and I’m ready, fibroids and these heavy cycles have had me in a dark place as well 😞
I had my surgery 2017 and 3 years later I feel fine and sometimes I forget I had the surgery. My recovery went very well. Day one was ok,day 2 and 3 was horrible and by day 5 and 6 I felt fine. I watched videos on youtube and they scared the hell out of me. If anyone out there is scared or worried you'll be just fine.
Am really scared and worried to do a hysterectomy . But am tired of my fibroids its depressing me.
@@winterblain4742 it's not as bad as you think. Your recovery depends on you!!! So if you go in with the mind set of a fast recovery you'll recover fast. I promise some of these people who had a hysterectomy make it seem horrible. Yes the first few days are uncomfortable but you'll heal and go on about your life.
Thank you. I'm scared and worried. Procedure July 26,2021🤦♀️
@@lakishaherrera6148 you'll be fine.
thank you, I am thinking to have uterus removal but I am so scared
I had this life changing surgery a week ago and I am glad I am not alone. My fibroids were symptomatic to the point where I had to get blood transfusions. This by far is the most traumatic experience I’ve had. Just happy I am alive and already have daughter plus I will not suffer again each month making trips to the ER. Thank you for the video.
Thank you for posting, Vilma. On my 40th birthday I was released from the hospital after my hysterectomy due to endometriosis. I have no children, but I'm happy this happened to me, because I was always prepared to live without them. I had no issues and still have none, almost ten years later. I too have my life back.
🙏❤⚘
I turned 40 and had a hysterectomy a week afterwards. I have no kids, but also never wanted any. I have 3 bonus babies with my husband and 2 goddaughters that I love dearly… so I’m fine with no biological kids.,
I was diagnosed with endometrial cancer..0 kids..life or death..i chose life..i was feeling so down..march 9 2021 was my surgery..but reading the comments i see i am def not alone..thank you for this video

Thank you for giving this perspectives- my experience was similar in some ways and completely opposite in others. It feels good to have a community of “hysterectomy warriors”
I just had my hysterectomy on Monday. This is day number three. I’m trying to take it easy. I’m still learning how to sleep so that it won’t hurt so much. My story is a little bit different. I found out I had a huge fibroid when I originally thought it was just sciatic pain. I just turned 39 today…no kids. I didn’t have heavy periods but the fibroid was sitting on my sciatic nerve causing me to have extreme back and leg pain. Im not sad that I don’t have kids… I have 8 godbabies and I work with kids. When the doctor said that I could possibly grow another fibroid if they just take the fibroid. I had an amazing surgeon he asked me every time I had a visit “Are you sure you want to do this”. He even gave me a month to make a decision.
I had an amazing surgeon as well… he kept asking me the same thing as well as how was I emotionally, seeing that I had an emotional time at one of my visits. I’m 3 days post op, but this was the best thing for me. I had a supportive surgeon, husband, family, nurses, co-workers and friends. I’ve been blessed with this great support system ans truly believe this stress-free time is what is helping me heal. 🙏🏾
This made me cry because you explained just how I feel. My fibroids have derailed my life as I'm anemic from so much blood loss and always feel weak, tired and cold. I can't leave the house for 3 days each month having to deal with the flooding and sheer exhaustion. I'm almost in menopause and I'm thinking of removing my uterus so I have take hormone replacement for the rest of my life to save my bones and overall health. Estrogen will make them grow, so I don't see why I should get them removed only to find they have grown back. Thank you for sharing. It really helps. Glad you are feeling empowered again!
Awww send you loads of encouragement and love!! You’ll pull through very soon x
Thank you for this video I am on week 3 of my hysterectomy and I have really been going through the motions a lot of ups and downs and emotional roller-coaster. This video and all the comments from other women who has gone through this, it let's me know I'm not alone thank you for this uplift and sharing your story
Awwww you are most welcome lovely. Take one day at a time and all will fall into place ❤️
My emotions are all over the place, my mommy passed away last year… so my emotions were everywhere
I had a total hysterectomy 05/12/21 and I believe it’s the best decision I could’ve ever made. We already have a son(13) and daughter(10).
❤️
I had mine 1/11/21. How are you feeling?
Thank you so much for this. I'm about to have this procedure in August and I am going through a plethora of emotions. They're going to be doing a full hysterectomy on me. I'm watching a lot of videos and I find them more helpful than I thought I would. So thank you.
Hi Constance - it's very normal to feel the way you do. This shall pass and you will be feeling better in no time at all. Stay strong ⚘
Hello :) I am 37 and about to have a total hysterectomy. I am a little nervous about being on hormone therapy for so long. How are you feeling so far?
Thank you for sharing this! My wife is scheduled to have a hysterectomy and I asked her to imagine what life will be like after and she said that she imagined sadness.
I told her that I could see why.
A woman's mental-emotional motivation for being is largely tied to her ability to bear children.
I think that it's a crushing blow to anyone to have a large portion of your purpose voluntarily removed aka to shut the door permanently and suddenly on it rather than always have the idea there looming in the background that you are a potential child-bearer.
And it doesn't matter how great the upside is. You have to come to terms with the psychological effects of the change.
I want you to know that you are "Whole" as a being. Having a uterus, functional or not, doesn't define your being.
I believe that we all, as humans, struggle with the concept of "wholeness" regardless of the issue. I see this with drug addicts who use to escape their sense of 'lack of wholeness'. I see it men in the gym who abuse steroids in order to provide a sense of purpose to mask their feelings of inadequacy and false sense of lack of wholeness.
The point is that I dont want you or anyone else to ever feel alone because of this false sense.
I believe that we all come here to experience and meet this challenge and mirage of "lacking wholeness" as part of our soul journey so that we can face, overcome, learn from it and then teach others, just like you're doing with this video.
We may be born with different deficits and gifts, but we are all whole. Nothing is missing.
Thanks again for creating this video!
Thank you for this comment. Having a supportive spouse is everything.
Thank you for your encouraging words. Needed this.
I imagine this mental emotions myself of emptyness and so much more.. scares me thinking about having your uterus removed. ... thanks for the words.. blessings fo u and yours
Thank so much for this word of encouragement. I just turn 42, no kids, heavy bleeding with several large fibroids and my only option is getting a hysterectomy- literally saw the doctor and was told that. Felt sad, so seeing how you support your spouse and those reading your comment like myself. Thank you.
@@yandia77 what is your email? That is absolutely not the only option.
Thank you so much for posting your video. I so needed to hear those words " I want my life back"! My procedure is this coming Friday, Jan 22, 2021. I'm not looking forward to this surgery, but I am looking forward to NOT having anymore embarrassing /heavy periods! This has been a very hard and tough decision to make, but I'm tired of being anemic/feeling weak and having to get iron infusions. So this is what I need to do. Thank you again for your video and the encouragement.
Hello my lovely. I’m so happy you have found this video helpful!!! Good luck with the surgery and i also wish you a speedy recovery 🌸
Hi kay, I hope your surgery was a success. Why did you choose a hysterectomy and not a myomectomy.
I am so glad to hear someone who has felt the emotional ups and downs like I have and I am now. You said so many things that I felt. I really feel you understand the same things I have been thinking. I was a very hard decision for me as well. I was sad to think of losing my uterus. I was attached to it. It gave me 3 children. I want to cry off and on when I see a pregnant person or someone I know just had a baby. I am 46. 2 weeks post op. I had pelvic/bladder pain for last 2 years. Unknown reasons. Nothing obviously wrong with any of my female insides. It was so tough to decide because of this but I finally decided I had to give this surgery a chance to see if it can fix me. I couldn’t keep living in pain. I am hoping it will work. I hear everyone’s after hysterectomy stories and they sound so positive. I am hoping this will be me. To feel good again. To be myself. I am so glad you are doing so well and thank you so much for sharing!!
Hello Martie -send you loads of love and a speedy recovery ❤️🌸
I had this procedure done 33 years ago after having 4 children. I was truly suffering every month embarrassed and so on . Today I am sooooooooo happy I did it since then I am really enjoying my life.
This is so encouraging... I just had mine done it's almost been 3 weeks. I use to pass out days after having my cycle from heavey periods, I have gotten blood transfusion and my hemoglobin has been from 4 to 5... I am looking forward to feeling strong again. Thank you for making this video...I stubbled across this and I'm glad I did.
So grateful for this video. I just had to have a hysterectomy due to placenta previa and accreta and third trimester bleeding that wouldn't stop the third time. I'm grateful for my children and have suffered with endometriosis for years too so many miracles. I've been so traumatised by the whole thing. Needed bladder surgery to and got my ureters shaved. Still have painful stents in. So grateful my little preemie survived too. Forever grateful but also so sad and grieving.
You give me hope you’re an angel. Thank you for your time and effort you’re really helping a lot of women like me to stay positive. Thank you and may God bless you and your family.
Hey lovely - I’m so happy I was able to help by sharing my story. I wish you all the best sweetheart 💕
I too had an hysterectomy back in 2013. I can honestly say that I do not miss having my menstruel cycle. I had fibroid that was causing me great pain and thus depleting my iron. I was tired all the time, so I am glad I had the procedure. I am almost 50 years old and am going through menopause. Horrible night sweats.
Hi Carolyn - thank you for sharing your story ❤
this video has helped me so much. ive been searching for information about feelings, and what to expect. i cried because youre the only one who has SPOKE to me. im in the waiting for a hysterectomy, and terrified to death. i feel so much better now that ive seen this. thank you so much!!!!!!!!!!
Hi Trinity. I’m so pleased you have found my video helpful. What you are telling is normal and from experience, I went through the same!! But you’ll be fine and your life will be so much better ❤️
Thank you for sharing. Had 2 Laparoscopy to take out my fibroids but it kept coming back and end up having a hysterectomy in the end. Was blessed with 3 kids so no plans of having anymore. Feeling much much better now. No more 2-3 weeks of bleeding and also no more anemia.
I cant begin to tell you how much I appreciate someone consoling me about having a hysterectomy for my health but dealing with the intense hurt of wanting kids. My family has avoided that issue because its genuinely a deep hurt for me.
Im sorry you are hurting. I hope you find peace and that God blesses you abundantly. ❤
I have normal menstruation. No heavy periods. Started having fibroids for 11 yrs. Its just the last year that I felt different. Abdominal pain, heavy bleeding and my latest ultrasound and MRI. I have infection on my right fallopian tube, my left fallopian tube had a cyst and burst. So there was heavy bleeding. Then last year, got diagnosed with endometriosis. The pain got worst and fibroids got bigger and it just making me very uncomfortable in everything. I can’t do my usual stuff(sports, dancing,hiking etc). Life has not been fun and not easy lately. So my doctor decided for total hysterectomy in the next 2 months. I am 48, no kids. This video makes me understand better and felt less anxious. Thank you for sharing your story.
You have no idea how much I needed this. I am 6 weeks out and I’m still a little emotional 🥹. I’ve gained weight I still feeling a lot of pressure. Thank much for this! Very happy I had it done as well!
❤️
Hope you’re feeling better ❤️
Feel better soon, I am in week number 5 post surgery
Thank you Vilma. I was so depressed and alone when I was going through mine. Getting my life back one day at a time
⚘⚘⚘❤❤❤
I just had a full one 4wks ago & I feel the same way 😓
I had my surgery almost 2 weeks ago now and your videos of your journey have helped me a lot. Thank you for sharing!
Thank you for your post. I am 7 days Post Op and I keep thinking that I'm a wuss as I'm still moving really slowly.
After watching this, I feel that I'm not alone. I am inspired and focussing on better days to come. Bless you 💞
I'm sorry you had such a rough experience! I'm two weeks post and I'm so grateful that it was such an easy, pain free procedure for me. the hardest part is remembering that I just had surgery and need to take it easy!
I'm sharing this so other women know that the experience can vary, greatly. I had an ankle surgery last year that was incredibly rough and I'm still recovering all this time later.... before hand, everyone said that would be easy and it definitely was not. It's strange how the body reacts so differently to the same procedure ❤
God & Time heals All 🙏🏼
yes, hun x
I had my hysterectomy on 6/3. I am now feeling back to normal. Best decision of my life. I was able to go back to work part time after 3 weeks. I had the laparoscopic surgery. 4 small abdominal incisions.
How was the pain?
@@lotus8285 Very minimal. Was prescribed 800mg ibuprofen and percocets. Only took the percs 1 time.
@@tlcand3 ok thank you for responding
@@tlcand3 thanks sis glad all is well... I have an appointment next month for an ablation I’d rather have the hysterectomy
I FINALLY have my surgery date & it’s January 22nd🥰🥰 I cried when the secretary told me, dealing with cramps that’s similar to labor pains is so stressful.
My Sister had a massive Fybroides that had to be cut out and she felt that her Doctors strongly urged her to also take out her uterus and tubes as well...However, once she had that surgery she was never the same again, because she so desperately wanted to have children. She fell into a deep dark depression that she couldn't get out of. She unfortunately passed away a year ago, I believe from a broken heart. I pray your video will help women who feel hopeless and depressed can get through this challenge with positivity and faith.
Thank you so much for sharing your journey with us. It was truly touching and helpful. God bless you my love🙏🏾💗.
Johnnel, I am so sorry to hear about your sister. May she rest in piece⚘
Hello Johnnel. I’m saddened to hear about your sister. I pray that GOD will comfort you and your family EACH and EVERY DAY with his LOVE and UNDERSTANDING. God bless you .
🙏🙏🙏💙🙏💙
Wow! that is sooo sad and heart breaking!
People must understand the a woman's reproductive system is like a jewel to her.
they don't always work properly or not at all but the fact that they are apart of a woman's entire being/femininity plays a huge role psychologically.
Physically we may feel on top of the world after a hysterectomy but mentally it's too close to home.
I suppose there's a bright and dark side to everything.
I have two beautiful daughters but after I had my 2and child at 28 I was done done! Didn't want anymore children by choice
I have fibroids but they have grown over the years so it's time to have this procedure.
My mind goes back & forth with emotions but as I said, it takes a mentally strong person to have this procedure.
I knew it was time when every month I couldn't even stand because of the flooding.
People will normally miss work because of sickness or appointments but I've had a history of missing work because I was too anemic to move from the bed.
when it get to the point where you are hemorrhaging to the point of severe weakness hysterectomy becomes the only option.
These fibroids stole over 20yrs of my life so yes, they must go ASAP.
Mentally I will get past the sadness but I will never get past the countless years feeling drained as if I just delivered a child.
To postpone this surgery would mean I'm giving these blood-sucking demons power so they must go to get my life back...period
May your beautiful sister Rest in Paradise...she doesn't have suffer anymore for there is truly a light especially for her in the heavens!
Did you have the surgery? And if so, how was your recovery?
great testimony, i had my hysterectomy on june 20 2022 and even though i got an infection and the healing process is now taking longer, iam so grateful to God!!! i too feel like i have a second chance at life. Fibroids stop my quality of life, now i can't wait to heal so i can spend time with my kids and not be so tired all the time. Thanks for sharing your story :)
Hope you’re feeling better .❤️
I started having problems from the time I started my periods. Heavy periods, throwing up, pain for 3-4 days , and fainting from elementary through my 40’s. I have 2 daughters, 12 years apart. I had my surgery at 47. They found I had endometriosis also. A lot of uterine tissues outside the uterus attached everywhere. I have my ovaries. You wonder why didn’t you do it earlier. No pain.
I am 49 and am realizing it's time for mine. I am so sad about it - I have a 17 y/o about to go to college. But, I need to get back to me. I think my son is my miracle child, too😊.
I had a mommy makeover in 2019 and this is when I learned I had a fibroid. The doc told me after coming out of surgery, when he was tucking me, there was a bulge. 4 months later post surgery I decided to go to confirm what he thought was a fibroid and it was indeed. My fibroid was the size of a grapefruit and I also had a few smaller ones as well. I did not have any symptoms which is why I didn’t know I had a fibroids until I had surgery. Long story short I had my surgery a year after my mommy makeover “Total with removal of my tubes” I am so glad I chose the laparoscopy cause I was afraid if I had to be cut open it would effect my muscles that were just repaired. I am only a few weeks post opt and feel fantastic! Thanks for sharing your story!!
❤
Thanks for sharing your story. I had a tummy tuck 3 years ago, and now I’m getting a robotic hysterectomy, I’m so worry about the inflation of my tummy because I feel that I don’t have space and my stomach is completely flat. Is that going to be an issue? I’m just worried not having space to perform the surgery. 😏🙏
I just had a hysterectomy December 2nd 2021. I feel amazing and it's the best self care I have done for myself. I kept my ovaries. I'm 51 and have 1 child.
❤️
Does it cost I ty think I need one
Was your cervix removed too?
I’m getting it done…period!
I’m almost 54 sick of the heavy periods from fibroids
@@honesty2476 Yes, my cervix was removed.
Just stumbled on your video and I just wanted to say thank you..I had my hysterectomy 9 months now due to cervical cancer. I have one child a son...I still do feel a little depressed on and off.. I had my cervix, fallopian tubes, uterus, right pelvic lining and my right ovaries removed..still have pains sometimes, but thanks be to God I am doing much better. All the very best to you my sister ❤
Thank you for sharing your story, it was very insightful. I will be scheduling my surgery in a few weeks and am terrified, your story has given me some peace of mind. God bless
Your daughter’s entry into this video made me smile. You are both sooo beautiful!
Thank you so much Christine ❤️
Very
I was diagnosed with endometriosis 3 years ago and I’ve been taking pills to stop my periods. Although I mentioned it, my gyno didn’t expose a hysterectomy as an option. Last year, I asked for a second opinion and literally asked to get the surgery done. I’ve already had a bunch of tests and I’m waiting for a date confirmation. It is my body and it is my choice. I’m 40, have a 11 y/o boy and no desire of having more kids.
Just wanted to say THANK YOU! Listening to your testimony gave me more confidence about my decision and, especially, a lot of hope about my life changing for good ☺️☺️☺️
Thank you so much for sharing your Journey with us! I am going through the same problem. I have Endometriosis! I am only 37yrs old with no children I have been struggling with Heavy periods and lots of pains,suffer from Fibrods too back in 2018 I had Surgery they removed my fibroids and they also removed my right fallopian tube,it took me a year to heal from the Surgery .and the problem never get solved.i found a new doctor and I jus had a surgery back in February 2020, and he put Marina on and i have been Bleeding since then, my last option is to get my Uterus removed and it still hard for me to accept that I won't be able to have kids ever in my life. I am even struggling dating because of this problem. Thank you again for lifting my spirit I was crying too when you were getting emotional ❤
Hi Abby - I'm so sorry my dear that you have been going through this for so long. One of my best friends also has endometriosis. The doctors have yet to tell her to have a hysterectomy as they dont believe it will solve her problem. It's so hard. Thank you for watching and for going through the emotions with me ⚘
Hang in there sis. Thanx for sharing
I can relate. Take your time even though you feel like you are running out of it. Every day is a day you can still choose what you want to do.
.
Wish you the best 💫
@@irissayshello thank you so much ❤
Thank you so much!I love all your videos.
@abby cele Don't give up...Pray first and then go get a second, third, and even a fourth opinion before giving up on the option to have kids if that's what your heart desire. I put the surgery off for several years for various reasons. But don't let a hysterectomy be your last resort. Exhaust all other options before choosing to have the hysterectomy. I have a friend who was told she would never have children and went to fertility Dr's, at age 41 she just had her third child. Don't give up on your hearts desires. Face the challenges by exhausting all the other options before choosing the one to end all hope.
I had my hysterectomy 7 weeks ago. I am feeling much better, I thank God I did it because fibroids were killing me inside
I'm 32, have PCOS and endo and I am going to have a total hysterectomy and ovary removal in the coming months. I'm scared but I'm tired of the pain. No children - I wouldn't make a good mom and I've been told that my chances of conception are low anyways. There's a part of me that wishes I could have a daughter just to keep a piece of MY mom's lineage going in the world but I know you can be a mom in other ways if you want to later on so that's why I'm going to do it. I don't have plans to settle with anyone either. Dating history has been a nightmare. The thought of pregnancy and birth always frightened me anyways tbh and I'm not very patient with children. I'm just not maternal AT ALL. I want to do this procedure more for the pain relief and cutting out the risk of ovarian and uterine cancer too. I'm scared of surgery in general, but I think this is the best choice for me.
I wish you the best!, please give us an update on your health.
Thank you for sharing your story. I've been diagnosed with urine fibroids back in 2021. Sometimes I'm in a lot of discomfort. Now I'm exploring my options for treatment.
I’m coming up on partial hysterectomy surgery due to several large fibroids. I was told only my uterus I’ll be taken.
This is by far the best video about fibroid experience on RUclips in my opinion. From start to finish, I totally appreciate your empathy, sympathy concern and understanding. And I completely respect your testimony and journey. I will be going in for my hysterectomy tomorrow morning and by far looking at this video has reinforced my decision and reasoning for doing this. I know it has to be done otherwise I will be going through the same fibroid issues again. I was blessed to have two children, and even though in the far corner of my mind I would have loved to have had a little girl as I have two boys now, after the miscarriage, I know that I am in no position to fight or complain. I'm very grateful and thankful and I am looking forward to having a fibroid free body.
Hello lovely - thank you so much for leaving me this wonderful message filled with kindness and words of wisdom. I do very much appreciate your time just to be here and to have shared a portion of your life as a woman and as a mother. I hope that God continues to bless you on your journey ❤️
I had my hysterectomy 3 weeeks ago.thank you for sharing your story
Wishing a speedy a good recovery ❤️
Thank you Vilma, I am new to your channel and this is the first video I’ve seen of you (actually saw it a couple of months ago for the first time). It is very sad how one can feel so alone when many women suffer from this condition. My husband is not empathetic at all, and feel like I never do enough because I am always tired. I just talked today to my PMP and he is referring me to an OBGYN. Thankfully I have two children already and watching your video for a second time today (with a clearer mind) has given me the courage to speak to my doctor and follow the steps to better myself, I’ve known I have fibroids since 2018 when pregnant with my 2nd child, and after he was born I when through a rollercoaster of emotions along with depression that I just kept postponing surgery, it was just not the time, my gynecologist back then gave me two options, the pill or surgery. I decided to stay on the pill but after two years I am still having the same symptoms and bleeding. The reality is that I am not the happy, funny, achieving person that I used to be before. My marriage is hanging from a thread and my health has deteriorated a lot and feel helpless sometimes. You don’t know how much watching this video again has helped me. I am focusing on my physical health today, I can’t keep everything and everyone together in my home anymore without my health. Thank you and God bless you and your family.
Hi Romina - thank you for taking the time in writing this message. Before I go any further, I want you to know that what you are feeling is normal. Alone, misunderstood, not in control or your emotions and body...its all normal. At least for me as I went through the same. I am sorry to hear that your husband is not giving you the support you need...maybe he doesn't know how and you may need to show him. I did a video sharing my story before my surgery. I would love for you to watch it and possibly watch it with your husband...maybe seeing other people sharing what they went through which is the same as you...maybe it will open his mind to the possibility that he's the one who needs to do more as at the moment, you are in need of him more than ever. The video is emotional...but it shows light of the problem and by all the comments under that video, he can see so many women go through this in silence. ruclips.net/video/JmsVzHVUFaQ/видео.html
I remember a Male leaving me a message saying he now understands what his girlfriend is going through. He thank me for helping him see the truth....
I hope you get the treatment needed and that your recovery brings you your life back ❤
God bless you Vilma! I'm sure your story will help inspire and give others so much encouragement. xx
Hi Sandra - ❤
Thank you, Vilma
Thank you for this video. I had my hysterectomy 5 days ago. Kept my ovaries and cervix. I have two kids 10 and 13. I’m feeling emotional today and realise how much I have gone through with my fibroids. I feel free and relieved I can finally get my life back!
Hi June!! Thank you for leaving me a comment and for being so transparent on how you are telling ! Wishing you a a speedy recovery 🥰
Thank you Ma'am. I just randomly came across your channel. Thank you for your support. I just had Hysterectomy done today. This gas they put in your body to get a better look of insides really hurts. Not to mention feeling constipated as well. I've just took my Hydrocodone n back to rest for now. 💕
I’m about to have my hysterectomy bc they found endometrial cancer
I haven’t had any kids
I had 4 miscarriages 😢
But God has the total control

Thank you for sharing this video. I am actually having my Hysterectomy done this Friday January 7th. I am 44 and have been blessed with 2 children so losing my "woman parts" isn't a concern. I, however have never had surgery. I am nervous about waking up in pain and the recovery. I'm getting it done Laparoscopicly so I'm praying that it isn't too bad but the nerves are still there. It's really nice to read all of the comments from these really strong women. Let's me know I'm not alone ❤
Hello sister I get rid of my fibroid naturally with herbal medicine Am finally a mother today , because of fibroids my tubes was block for 6years I and my husband was having issue because of my situation no child when I was Searching online on RUclips about fibroids I saw a testimony about dr Omo so I write him and place order for his herbs 🌿 today I have 2weeks old baby now he can help you get rid of your fibroids naturally Herb's work like magic.
How did your hysterectomy go?
and how do you feel?
did you keep your ovaries and did this procedure in any way affect your sexuality in terms of functions as a woman?
God bless you Vilma! You are an amazig woman.
Thank you so much sweetheart ❤️
Thank you so much!!!! I had my surgery 2 weeks ago....I am trying to feel normal again....I am getting there!!! Thank you!!!
No one hardly talks about the psychological distress caused by fibroids, hysterectomies, endometriosis etc. Is there any professional mental health recourse for women dealing with female issues?
I guess it’s down to each person to share what they feel comfortable with. I was not in any psychological distress. At least not to the point of seeking medical help. But I can imagine some ladies may go through this. It’s always best to speak to a doctor or medical provider
Thank you for this video it gives me courage to make a decision that will really help me. I'm also suffering from heavy bleeding because of my fibroid, your video is very inspirational because after all the struggle your happy to tell your story that can give strength to other people. Getting emotional right now😭
Awww I know and can relate to the emotions you’re feeling. Stay strong ❤️
Thank you for sharing Its been 8 week since I had my hysterectomy I feel so much better a weight lift even my mood is better and no pain anymore due to firbords took a two years to get diagnosed. I suffered joints pain,fatigued dizzy spell weight gain heart issues. I felt at times no one believed me but my due to covid a lot of people have been left in pain and suffering. But I have to say my doctor she was amazing she said it was a tough surgery as one of the fibroid bout 14cm was basically sitting in the birth canal also ment I have to be opened on my tummy. But I really am 1000th % better then I was before my op. Thanks again for sharing you look amazing ❤ I am a mom of two boys and just turned 40 and I feel alive again x ❤️💕
Thank you for sharing this Vilma. Need this. I'm one of the people who you spoke to being in my thirties and not having kids yet. Dealing with fibroids and dr's focussing on removing my uterus.... cause that's the only thing they have to offer. I felt it deep in my bones when you said 'getting your quality of life back' and having the feeling that you are lost. Cause nobody seems to understand. I understand why you get emotional. I have it all the time 'if' I talk about it. Not having control over your own body and mind is dramatic.
.
I have hope....
I am grateful for you sharing your story...
I hope you will continue on being happy with yourself....
..
I wish myself the best as well when a change is gonna come.
Ho sweetheart....I'm so sorry you are going through this. Please stay strong and better days with good health will come your way ⚘
Thank you so much for sharing this. I’m currently dealing with fibroids and considering a hysterectomy
@@wallysmith6344 thanks! March will be 1 year post open myomectomy for me
You're beautiful and so is your daughter ❤️ I really appreciate you sharing your story. I am seven weeks past a hysterectomy, lost my uterus, fallopian tubes and a 11 cm fibroid. I don't feel normal and I am struggling with waves of sadness. I wasn't expecting this to be such a struggle, maybe I was just so naive. Sitting is really rough, especially on hard surfaces. It helps to know I am not alone and to hear other women's experiences. God bless you.
Stay strong lovely. It will get better, I promise!!! You need to deal with one thing at a time. 1st your health. 2nd your emotions. 3rd your journey ahead. It will get better ❤️🩹
@@vilmasclosett 🙏❤️thank you so much
I’m so glad I came across this video... I’ve been battling with making a decision to have the procedure done or not.. I’m at a point where I feel like I’ve tried everything and I’m still have the same issues of super prolonged cycles due to the fibroid... I did have it partially removed but they could not get the entire fibroid due to the location.. I’m currently trying one more method to see if that helps but if not I am going to have this procedure done. I have a child by birth and bonus children who only know me as mom since they were little so I’m blessed to have be able to have the child bearing experience and I don’t know if my body could handle it again but mentally I can and will not continue to go through the struggles of my cycle anymore... it’s been 3 almost 4 years and everyone I talk to it view online all are happy after it’s done. I know is not an easy decision for most including myself but I want control of my life and my body again..
If you are under 50 years old, make sure to talk to your doctor about your estrogen, brain, bones, sex (vagina), hair and skin before you decide. Also, make sure you are at a good weigh before th procedure (losing is almost impossible). I kept my ovaries and 9 month later my ovaries stopped working, bringing more issues than what the doctor told me Id have.
You are so encouraging and inspirational. Thank you for sharing your experience.❤

I had a hysterectomy in 2013, I was unable to conceive, and because of my condition I was not a candidate for laparoscopic surgery. Recovery was very difficult and I started menopause early.
God keep women safe from all hidden dangers and deadly diseases. Am 36, had total hysterectomy due to invasive mole. I thank God for my life
I'm still struggling with the emotions from February of 2022. I felt better after my surgery but when I got home and alone it hit me. I started therapy. I encourage every woman who experience this to go afterwards.
Take it easy on yourself God is in control pls it is well
Love yourself & enjoy a better life without suffering ,,,you not alone in that situation ,there are many ladies out here still suffering ,enjoy your life now
Hello my beautiful friend! Sorry for late response but I’m playing catch up on RUclips. This was such a good video! It takes me down this dark path I was years ago. A lot of women has been down this road but God bless you and us all because it’s dark road to go down. But by the Grace of God we made it. I pray this video touched someone or many. It touched me because I thought about where I been on that journey and where am at today. God is good. Love always and be safe my friend ❤️
Thank you so much 🤗
I am 40 and struggling with fibroids that makes me have spotting for almost 10 days after 4 heavy days on my period. Sometimes I feel sad and depressed because it’s affected my husband as well. I have a new gynecologist now after 3 years I followed another one with any changes, I hope with this new one I can have my life back. I thank God because I have 2 handsome boys, it’s a blessing. Your videos are so inspiring and your daughter is a little angel. I really love your channel. Be blessed 😍
Hi Charline. I had the same or worse than what you are now experiencing. I pray to this is resolved for you so you can have your life back ❤❤❤

Does anyone have bladder issues pelvic pain and pressure, low back pain also before hysterectomy and they went away after surgery.
Thank you such a beautiful honest video, I have been suffering with depression for years due to large fibroids I don't have a life the pain and the bleeding is too much. My stomach is so big that I don’t like to go outside, I hate summer because I know I can't hide behind a big coat. I had three c sections due to large fibroids and several surgeries, but my fibroids keep coming back larger. My womb is completely full of fibroids I look like a full term pregnancy. Looking forward to my hysterectomy waiting for an operation date so I can finally have a life. 💯% can't wait.
Such an uplifting and encouraging video 💕 thank you for sharing your experience. I will be going for this very soon too. I am 37 and have no kids as of now but have registered for adoption. With prayers and divine love it never made me feel depressed that I won't be able to conceive.
A soul is a soul, it may choose your tummy or someone else's it doesn't matter. The soul who is destined to be a part of your life, always finds its way. I choose health over any artificial treatments to have kids. Your healthy body, peace of mind is so important I feel. If you crave for motherhood, there are other ways.
I also wish to spread this msg to all women undergoing the same health concerns..
Sending u love from India ❤️
I really needed to see this. Thank you!
At first site I thought you are beautiful and 43?!?!!!? Whattt??? Not 23?!? You are super!!!
What a wonderful video. I'm having an abdominal hysterectomy next month and I'm very scared. I heard that removing the uterus can change the structure of your posture as the uterus ligaments hold your posture in place. Did you experience this?
How are you?
Thank you for being so bold and courageous to share your story. I so needed this story since I am facing this challenge currently. God bless you and keep you!❤️
Hi Xena - I hope you get well soon my lovely 🥰
@@vilmasclosett Thank You!❤️
Thank you for putting out this video. I'm about to have a hysterectomy and I'm excited. I've been trying to have a hysterectomy for YEARS and it just never happened for some reason. Now that I'm dealing with a LOT more fibroids and done having children, it's time. I look pregnant all the time and on the pill to keep from having 3 periods a month.....yes, I said 3! the fibroids are causing immense pain and I'm excited to get off the pill and move on with my life.
Hi Diane - I’m pleased you are going to finally be free from the pain and discomfort you have been dealing with!!! I wish you a super speedy recovery 💕
I was having 3 periods a month myself! I gained so much weight, even though I was barely eating at times. I have an ob gyn appt to determine if I want to have a hysterectomy… and I’m leaning more on the side of yes. I cant deal with the blood loss, fatigue, weight gain, having to feel like you are by yourself and alone.
Thank you for this. I’m 29 and have one child who was hard to have. I literally just got home from my surgery and although I’m sad that I couldn’t have another child I feel ok with it. I am so glad that you are happy now and enjoying your life. Your daughter is beautiful
Ola Teresita - thank you for sharing a bit of your journey. Yes, I was ready for the surgery and ready to be and feel healthy. Almost 3 years have past and I feel great! Stay blessed my lovely and a speedy recovery 🌸
I came across your video thank you so much for sharing. I was in tears I needed to hear this video. I am scheduled for a hysterectomy on July 19 I'm so afraid but it's a necessary step for me. I could relate to so many things you said. I also have been suffering with heavy periods and terrible pain. I have endometriosis the quality of my life has diminished! I also have 1 child Thank God who is 14 yrs of age that I want to be healthy enough to raise him❤ This video has eased alot of my fears I pray my surgery is a success such as yours🙏
Hey lovely. It’s normal to feel the way you do!! Just know that after the surgery , to take one day at a time and you’ll be just fine ❤️
@@vilmasclosett Thank you❤
Hope everything went well. ❤️
@@Itsmyytimee yes it did thanks for asking! I feel pretty good right now first 4 days or do was pretty rough so now I'm feeling more like myself! Trying not to over do it. Lol Thanks for asking 🥰
You will be ok . I have mine in November. I pray we will both be good
This is such a beautiful and respectful video. Thank you for sharing 💕
Thank you for being so brave and sharing your story - I am due to face this surgery so you have helped me so much! 🥰
Vilma, Thank you so much for sharing your personal journey with us. You are Beautiful & your daughter is truly a Blessing. I am 51 years old. Never have been married or kids & I have decided to get a
hysterectomy, finally. Like you said, why get my fibroid removed when they will come back again. I am the oldest of 5. I have been an instant mom from the age of 8 years old. I love children with all
my heart, I just did not want to have any myself. So My periods instead of getting lighter, because of the fibroid they have gotten extremely heavy. I can't power walk, I can't hike, I can't sit down any
where at any time my first 3 days on my period, when I get up they do not make anything thick enough to hold the flow. In the middle of the night, I wake up 4 to 5 times to run to the bathroom. It is
like a river, no lie. I have taken care of my blood to make sure I do not become enemic, but I can't wait till I am 55 like my mom when she finished. Absolutely Not! I can't go anywhere do anything I like
to do, because I start my period every two weeks all over again. Stress is out of the question. I bleed all over again when I am under a lot of stress. So, I am listening and watching different videos,
and I just want to know if my insides will be okay with that part of my body missing. This one Indian Doctor was saying all kinds of stuff what our body will be like without the organ of the uterus
missing. Constipated, won't be able to pee, all kids of weird things. You did not say anything about that, so I am assuming everyone is different. God Bless You, & keep me in your prayers. June 2024
is my surgery. God Bless You & Your Beautiful Family. Daniela
❤️🙏❤️
Im super late but what a beautiful testimony Vilma, I normally watch for the fashion vids but this really gave me some insight. I just turned 40 and have been suffering from severe Anemia since my teens due to heavy flow with chronic pain n fainting, blood transfusions hormone pills you name it smh. Ive often wondered if this procedure would help and now that Im sure that we're done having babies (we also have 1) you just reminded me to bring up the convo with my doctor again...thx girl😉
Hey hun - thank you so much for watching and for sharing your current symptoms. Yes, have a conversation with your doctor. Super important to make an important decision 😘
Thank you so much for sharing. I am going through the recovery and is very nice to hear you not having regrets and feeling awesome.
I want to thank you for this video. I was diagnosed with Fibroids after I almost fainted at work. I had been feeling weak but just made excuses and when that happened my co-worker said you need to go get checked. I went and had some blood work and I had SEVERE anemia. I was having heavy periods, longer cycles,and had ruined several bed sheets. I described my symptoms and my Dr. said you need to go to a GYN. I did and the utlra sound came back 2 small fibroids. that was Jan 2020. May 2020 I had an ablation which helped slightly but not really. but now my periods are so unpredictable it's scary. Sometimes heavy, sometimes not at all. start and stops whenever. it's crazy! My concern is what about my job I cant call off. Women we care so much about others and not ourselves. I am not living life. I'm always concerned about when I'm going to start bleeding or for how long. My whole life is centered around my period.. Enough is enough. I'm 45 no kids and never wanted any so I'm not sad but it is a major procedure and scary to think about being cut and recovery and pain but what is the alternative??? Suffering, ruined clothes, no vacations, being paranoid and anxious.. no no no. Ladies if your life is on hold because of your bleeding pause. weigh the pros and cons and get the surgery from an experienced doctor. I had a gyn appointment for tomorrow but my random period started so I had to rescheduled my check up. But once this passes I'm going to schedule my Hysto. I want to keep my ovaries for hormones but they can have my uterus and cervix. I'm with you all in spirit
I was literally on the last day of my period when i had my hysterectomy… i was like “this is the perfect way to say goodbye to a life of misery that periods, fibroids, etc gave me for 31 years. I’m 3 days post-op… and only been nauseous and had vomiting ( i do this after every sutgery) and got some gas pains, but overall i’m happy with the decision. 40 and no kids.
