    I did my surgery 2 months ago, all these videos really help me. I was told that had multiples. I was also scared and nervous but I put that all asides and had the surgery. After the surgery the doctor brought the Fibrous to me .I was amazed as to the number of Fibrous they removed. The surgery was a successful, I have no regrets doing it. Now I waiting to be fully healed so that i can start trying to have my first child. God is in Charge and i believe that i am gonna be a mommy soon !

My organs were still numb therefore I couldn't apply any pressure to help things move faster. Pretty much had to let things work itself. Hard getting in and out of bed. Still sleeping on my back because I'm afraid to try sleeping in any other position. But I'm walking better. Regular BM with no issues.

      leyva michelle stop killing people’s hope, sometimes surgery does trick. You need stop making people worried we have to take things one step at a time

      Exodus Edmerson I’ve read too much stress (extra stress makes too much testosterone) in our life causes fibroids. I think that’s what caused mine. I read that info on a medical website recently . Also I gained weight that might have caused it. Try reduce your stress.

      The only thing I can relate it to and then again it's not a fact (please keep that in mind), it's only my belief... I believe it was stress and not taking care of my body the way I should have.

      I feel great now...I can literally sleep on my stomach now. My stomach needs some working out but my energy is up! At times though shortly after my surgery ( 3months later) I felt some minor cramps when I wasn't on my period, but now almost 8 months later I feel nothing, unless the devil with the red dress comes for the month :). Hope that answers your question😉

      My apologies for the late reply. I stayed away from dairy, soy, cruciferous vegetables. I ate meat (chicken, turkey, fish) without all those nasty harmful things they inject the meat with, I purchased it from the natural & organic grocery store. Matter of fact that's where I been buying majority of my food since my surgery.
