Thank you so much I'm over here having serious anxiety, panic attacks. I'm scheduled to have my hysterectomy in a few days and I'm so scared. Thanks for sharing your story it really helped a lot "juice box" dammit I was worried as well so I told my doc don't touch my ovaries!! I'll keep you posted and yes this huge one is sitting on top of my bladder as well have me pissing like a race horse omg!! I don't plan on having more children and I definitely don't want any more cycle!! #YouveBlessedMe TFS ❤️
You're, welcome! I know that, anxiety, that you are feeling. It overtakes your mind and you feel, super scared, alone and cofused, wondering, if you are making a good decision. All you have is, what-if questions, bogging you down. You got me laughing, because, I can hear you telling your doc, not, to touch your ovaries! lol That fibroid, that was sitting on my ovaries was so annoying. I know what you mean about constantly having to use the restroom. I've answered some questions and gave a few tips to viewers, in the comment section. Whenever you feel up to it, read through them. It'll help you, because, you are going to need some help. Just to give a few, I'll give you 10.
1. No stairs! 2. No reaching! 3.No lifting more than 5lbs, even, a gallon of milk! 4. No chinese food, such as, fried rice! 5. KEEP LAXATIVES AROUND ALL THE TIME, SUCH AS, prune juice and suppositiories (I used both). You're going to be constipated. 6. Learn, how to get in and out of bed, because, your abdominal is going to be hurting. I used my legs, first, then pushed my body up, to get in and out of bed. 7. SIT DOWN, SIT DOWN, SIT DOWN SOMEWHERE! Our bodies trick us, to thinking, that we feel better and it's really not. You have to rest and relax, as much as, possible. 8. Keep plenty of pillows with you at all times, even, in car rides. Your body is going to feel like something is going to fall out and it hurts when we sneeze, cough and laugh. Press the pillow against your stomach as a security net, even, while sleeping. The pillow will be your friend. 9. Have your friends and family around you as much as possible. You're going to need constant help, at least, the first 2 weeks. 10. Eat healthy, clean, non greasy, foods.
Little things, like that, causes, setbacks and they are not fun:( Alot of the things, you will learn naturally, but, it is a process and takes a long time.Once you've healed, you will feel so much better. It took me about 2 full years, to heal. I had the old school bikini cut surgery. Happy Wellness and Health to you:)

BYE FELICIA!!! (FIBROIDS)

How are you since your surgery?
Wow
Don't skip the ovary awareness plz...
I’m at that point now; partial hysterectomy or continue with pain, etc. I was having issues at age 34 and requested an ultrasound; two small fibroids. No suggestion to monitor them through ultrasounds, I just discussed it with my doctor for six years and endured issues. PCP and OBGYN suggested hysterectomy because of my age now 40 and I have two children. I have five fibroids now and partial hysterectomy is scheduled for next month. I’m still skeptical regardless of the issues. I’m just praying for peace of mind with my decision. Thanks for this information.
Thank you. I am scheduling my hysterectomy soon and it’s nice to hear that not all cases end up in disappointment. I’m currently living a miserable life with the fibroids.
You're welcome! I'm happy you are getting rid of those painful blood suckas. There's no need to live in pain and misery. Happy Wellness to you. 😊
Diagnosed with an orange sized fibroid in November 2016. Had a hysterectomy yesterday and the tumor was the size of a football. My uterus was the size of a 20 week pregnant woman. I used to be so tired that all I could do was cry. Immediately following surgery, I felt better. Best decision I ever made.
Wowzers! That fibroid blew up that big in one year? Dang! Those blood suckers ain't no joke! I'm glad you got that taken care of, because, it was only going to get worse. Good for you:)
NeziNapps akaNezi thank you!
I have a melon size plus 3 smaller golf ball size I'm scared any advice?
Kimi
Thank you for sharing your journey during your Hysterectomy experience. I'm 39 yrs old with no kids. I have my scheduled surgery on 9/8. I'm choosing health. I'm saying goodbye to pain!!
OMG I'm 39 as well with no children. I already had my tubes tied because of health reasons so I'm gonna opt for the partial hysterectomy. Please update on your recovery
I pray you're doing well and have a healthy, speedy recovery! I'll have one Oct. 1st.
Hi Nfinite MissConnception! Thank you for your wishes! I’m doing 100% better after my surgery. I have no regrets after during it and feel so much better and a lot healthier. I pray you have a great surgery on the first. Take care!
Symone Kennedy Hi Symone! Recovery turned out better than I thought. No regrets what so ever! ❤️
@@Lisa____Mota That's great news. Your stories are encouraging. My surgery date is in November.
4 yrs late but you’re still helping others with this. Thank you!
You're welcome 😊
8 years later I'm watching. I'm actually recovering from surgery I had last week.
I’m two weeks post op. 37 with no children. I made the best decision for ME! I can’t wait to be fully healed. She removed everything but one ovary. 💜💜
Loved your video. Fibroids came into my life when I was 20/21 since I was 22 I have had a myomectomy every other year. They took over my entire 20’s. I have done everything you could think of. I even was on Lupron. Just recently at age 31 the doctors and I decided that it was time for a hysterectomy. I have no kids. Praying for all women going through this.
Do you want children?
Monique, same here, multiple surgeries and all, but u know what, I've decided I'm tired, better just take out the uterus.. I've been waiting it out for 2 years, but I finally told my doctor I'm ready, doing it soon, I'm 33, no kids and I honestly never wanted biological children
I'm 35 and trying to get mine scheduled. Haven't wanted children for nearly a decade and advised people to adopt/foster. Always got a "but it's not yours" "but what if your husband wants one" "but, but, but". I was TIRED. My pain grew from heavy periods, to multiple hospital stays for multiple infusions, to polyp growth, to the growth of MULTIPLE fibroids. I was mad at everyone I'd ever tusted and a life and all the money and time I'd spent.
I'm only angry that I postponed my own life, my own wellbeing, and my own quality of life because of what everyone else had told me, including doctors. I CAN'T WAIT to have a hysterectomy because it still sounds better than the hell I've been going through for 25 years.
I wish you well and hope you find peace with YOUR body and YOUR health! ❤️
Ladies, thank you for sharing. I have 1 son and I didn't want anymore but it was such an emotional decision to have my lady parts taken. Im a social worker and there are so many children needing wonderful mothers in their lives. So if you decide to want children please consider adoption or foster parenting.
Monique, same situation here. Even down to the name…lol…Monique…i have no kids, have been dealing with endometriosis since age 12 and I’ve been on birth control and lupron since 12. I am scheduled for a hysterectomy next month. I’m praying that you are well!!…we are in this together!!!
I'm 7 years late and 6 weeks post op for total abdominal hysterectomy (l had a 4lb fibroid) and l can honestly say l feel absolutely wonderful 😀 My biggest piece of advice for all lovely ladies having surgery is don't get constipated...sounds daft maybe but l went 8 days and it was horrendous!!! Good luck ladies....best thing l've ever done!! 💖
I’m having one in another month…i been doing alot of research. I dont want kids, dont have any, but need it for my own sanity. This pain is horrendous, and i’m tired of bleeding crazy. My husband good with it, and he supports me. I don’t think I could have done any of this without his support.
I'm glad I found this video. My surgery is scheduled in the next 11 days. I was told I have "numerous" fibroids which has effected my quality of life for some time now. I'm both scared and happy to end this discomfort. Your video has really helped! Thank you!
when we lose anything, a person, a relationship, an arm, a leg, a job, or a uterus, we go thru a grief period. you have to live it, cry it out, talk it out. it gets better. you're a strong woman, so glad i heard your story. i'm post menopausal, hardly any estrogen, its been tough. i love to share with other women. thank you! God Bless you.
You're welcome and thank you for you comment:)
Thanks for sharing
I grieved without knowing over having tubal ligation...... in two days I’ll be having a hysterectomy. I pray I don’t have any emotional pain this time around.
As I’m recovering in bed from a Myomectomy surgery on October 5, 2020 to remove multiple fibroids and a cyst. I find your story informative and comical. I’ m trying not to laugh, my abdomen is extremely sore. Love your vibe, I know I’m late but wishing you and commenters overall good health and recovery.
Sending virtual flowers to all, 💐🌻🌷🌸🌺💐 Put you faith & believe in the LORD. GOD Bless
hi , i just had an abdominal hysterectomy done on oct 15 due to a large fibroid. R u having any pressure issue in you abdomen .? Like it just feels heavy especially when you get up? Hows the recovery coming along? Yes..trust the Lord
@Bern Milan YES, you need a stomach binder or postpartum belt to support you internally. It helps tremendously. My recovery is coming along good. I was creep stepping for awhile☺️ and struggled to get out of bed. I’m 4weeks post op and finally mastered how to get out of bed without it being painful. Happy recovery, and take your time.😇
Do you have fibroids? Many women face this problem and don't know what to do. Watch this video, as it will bring some comfort, to your decision. You are not alone.
Alright, girl. Hugs!
OMG! I'm glad you got that taken care of. That sounds very serious. I hope you are feeling better, now. Happy Wellness To YOU.
Yes! The first few days are the worst. I felt like death. Oh, that is great news...having a great support team, especially, from your husband. You heal, better, when you know you are going to be alright. I'm happy for you:)
Ooh,that's scary! I got my cysts checked out, recently and my gyn said mine was normal. Hope, she was right.
No, I felt normal. Now, last year, my hormones was popping out of control. My surgery was in 2009, so, I don't think my hormones was crazy because of my hysterectomy. I'm getting older and closer to menopause. I think, that's why, I was so crazy. I nipped that craziness in the bud with some wild yam supplement pills. They worked like a charm and I only took them for 3 days. Don't worry about that. You'll be fine, especially, since you kept your ovaries.
Thank you so much for your story I just had a hysterectomy in August of this year 2019 I was so afraid I almost backed out the day of my surgery but I am glad now that I did not this was my first surgery at age 53 I think that every woman our bodies go through so much and we have to do things to keep us healthy and be informed on what's out there as far as options for us thank you for sharing your story
Thanks doll. I have multiple fibroids and have to do surgery. I'm scared as hell but your testimony made me feel a lil better. Thanks for sharing
I hurt for 16 years but got a robotic hysterectomy. I spent one night in the hospital, and went home the next day. I felt no pain by the 3rd day. Make sure, you wash with the antibiotic soap they'll give you, see if you can be prescribed lidocaine patches instead of NSAIDS before your surgery. Then after have someone to keep you from over doing daily tasks. NO STAIRS.
Thank you so much. I am in the process of removing my uterus for fibroids reasons. I am doing my research and I came across to your video. Thanks for sharing
I'm 42. I had a "tiny" fibroid to begin with too, and it grew to 12cms and made me look like I was 3 months pregnant. I had a hysterectomy 2 weeks ago and I'm recovering now. I think I'm doing ok. I appreciate this vlog as I wanted to know more about what I've just been through. Thank you :)
Hi, Janet! I appreciate you, as well. Thank you for commenting a sharing a little of your story. I'm happy you are doing okay. You're welcome:)
Happy all is well. If you don't mind sharing what all did they remove? And what procedure did they take was it through the vagina or the old-fashioned way? My Dr wants to perform mines via vagina & I'm freaked OUT.
42? You mean 32?
You were the most informative out of all that discuss their situation.
Thanks for sharing your story. I had a hysterectomy in 09 as well for fibroids and I took a lot of flack from family and friends saying I was too young. I kept my ovaries so my juice box is still juicy (love the way your phrased that!). It's so important for women to make these decisions and embrace that there are options instead of living with discomfort. Thanks again...stay blessed!
You know, you made me smile, repeating after me, right? I forgot, I said that. lol But, yeah! People, have a problem with hysterectomies. Shoot! I had a problem with it, at first. After researching and weighing out some things, it was the best decision. I'm like you. I don't want to be uncomfortable.
I'm hoping, you don't have any regrets on your decision. I'm thinking you feel, much better and if so, good for you.
Happy Health and Body and stay blessed, as well.
My wife is scheduled to have her operation soon. Same issues you had. I hope she has the same experience as you. We are both nervous!! Thank you for posting this!!
Thank you for sharing your story. You're a beautiful inspiration. Happiness, health, harmony and happiness to you!
I just had my surgery on May 24th 2018. I had everything removed. Thank you for sharing your story. I feel absolutely blessed by your story. Thank you, Thank you, Rhank you.
Thanks. I needed to hear everything you had to say. It really helped me. I hope you are doing well as this is 5 years later. Blessings.😇
You're welcome, Karen. I'm doing fine. It's been 10 years since my surgery. I'm going to do an updated video, soon. Thank you:)
Thank you for sharing, researching for my upcoming hysterectomy I have been blessed with my 3 children by 23 an have been ignoring symptoms of fibroids for over a dozen years an now it all makes sense I am ready to feel better. You have a great energy about you thanks for sharing!
5 years later I type in fibroids and your video has helped me. Thanks for sharing your personal journey with me. Hope you are still doing well and many blessings.
Thank you, Shane! I'm doing fine! I hope you are, too and appreciate that you stopped by, again:)
Thank you!!! I'm about to have a hysterectomy for my fibroids. You helped me not feel so scared.
Capt. Steph You're welcome. Happy wellness to you😘
Thanks so much for sharing! I’m glad to see that most on here were nervous prior to the surgery. I am not alone! This has helped me! Thank you! I get my surgery 9/26/18! Pray for me everyone! Thank you! ☺️
Thank you for sharing! This was very helpful for me! Great to know you are doing well. ❤️
this video is a God send. Thank you so much for sharing. I do appreciate it as I'm on that journey 1 week and counting. Thanks also for the story about fibroid.
+MaM TV You are so welcome. Happy Healthy Healing to You😘😊
I'm laughing my head off abut the "juice box",but glad you're in good health! You are too much !!
Calisa Hardy 😊😎
Thank you for having the strength to do this. I need to hear it.
You're welcome. I'm happy you found comfort in this video. Happy Wellness to you:)
I am so glad you shared your story with us. I am scheduled for my surgery January of 2018. I'm so nervous, but listening to you story has brought some comfort.
Thank you for sharing your story. I am scheduled for a full hysterectomy in January 2020. In 2001, they told me i had 3 fibroids which was found during a ultrasound while carrying my daughter (a lot of pain and problems during the pregnancy). After which I asked to have them removed. The doctor told me at age 32, i was still wanting to have another pregnancy and the removal could cause me not to get pregnant. Well the father and i cancelled the engagement and ended the relationship 3 years after. I haven't been in a serious relationship since. Now at age 50, i am not trying to get pregnant and those 3 little fibroids have grown into multiple (to many to pick up on an ultrasound abdominal or vaginal). My normal heavy cycles of 5 days are now 8 days and so heavy i wear 2 super pads an hour. Anemic and Iron deficient and like she said in the video the discovery of the multiple fibroids is when i wanted to jump off the table. The procedure will remove my cervix, fallopian tubs and uterus. Depending on the condition of my overaris (one with a small cyst) they may be removed as well. My sister had an emergency in 2001 due to endometriosis. She told me about the phantom periods. But my question what are the differences for those who kept thier overaris and those who did not?
Even though I am a male, I found this to be interesting and very informative. You're a very intelligent Sister
Thank you so much:)
Useful for these experiences to be shared - encourages so many ladies!
This was so amazing of you to make this video! You will help so many women.
Thank you so much 😘😎😊
❤️ thank you for sharing I'm scheduled for a hysterectomy in 10 days. I'm glad there's someone like me (black, no children, fibroids) who I can identify with. You've been a lifesaver in this whirlwind of emotions that I'm having. Thank you again.
I don't regret it and my surgery was 10 years ago.
@Black Raspberry That's cold and insensitive.
@Black Raspberry first show me the statistics of all women who had hysterectomies regretting it. Why do you care to bother these women in the first place? You don't know their diets so changing diets have nothing to do with it. Lots of women choose to be childless so either your projecting your own issues on this woman or your jealous of childless women. Live your own life leave people alone.
@Black Raspberry Its our choice to have it done. So if you don't like it than don't get one very simple.
@Black Raspberry So worry about your life and leave other people alone.
I know exactly what you went through. I had my myomectomy in Nov '93. I started out with golf ball size fibroids when i had my son in June '96. My fibroids grew tremendously over the years. My doctor told me i had to have them removed. My uterus was stretched to capacity. I had fibroids that weighed 20 pounds. Yes that was not a typo they were 20 pounds. I had the surgery in Sept '11. It was the best thing i could have done. I'm 100% better after the hysterectomy.
No complications or continued pain?
Thank you so much for sharing Nez!! After a great deal of thought on options, I scheduled my hysterectomy for a month and a half out. It helps to hear others experiences!!!!!! You are so very appreciated for sharing!
Hi, Andrea! You are very welcome. I am happy to bring some comfort to you. I really appreciate your comment and compliment, because, it lets me know, that I've done a great job on answering some of your concerns. Hugs to you!
Happy Wellness To You:)
Thank you sooo much for sharing!! You were so easy to listen to...I felt engaged from the first word till the last!!
Vilma Martins You're welcome and thank you for your awesome comment and compliment. I'm happy this video has brought some comfort to you 😊
I found this video very relatable. I had fibroids in 2018/2019 and one was growing into my cervix, causing nonstop bleeding. First go-round I had surgery to get them removed, fast-forward a year later and the same issues are returning, so I jump through hoops to get a hysterectomy done. Turns out the fibroids were growing back, and I had endometriosis. Now it's been a little over a year since then and I feel 9001 times better than I have in years!
Hi!
I’m having a full hysterectomy on TOMORROW and I have been emotionally through the ringer with worry and anxiety! The road leading up to this moment has been hard. I know I’ve made the right decision. I’ll be happy when it’s over. I’m very thankful to have run into your video. Be continually blessed!! 💕
You'll be fine. I can't tell you not to worry, because, it's natural to do so; I worried, too. It's a new healthy journey and you'll adapt, as time goes by. Just remember, you are still a woman and can't nobody take that from you.
I have some tips for your post operation, if you're interested. Go to the comment section under this video and the first comment, that's PINNED BY NEZINAPPS. Read the, REPLY, of the tips I gave to that commenter and it will give you the do's and don'ts, on what to do. Happy Wellness To You.😊🤗🙂
How are you feeling?
Tenecia Patterson ...things ended up going left field. I didn’t respond well to the anesthesia, so the procedure was stopped. I was told that my heart rate slowed too much and scared the surgeon. I’ve since decided to just deal with my symptoms and reach menopause on my own at some point.
@@e.hunter-davis3105 Oh, no! That sounds terrible. Thank you for the update.
Thank you so much for sharing your story. I am having my hysterectomy on Wednesday and I am ready to get it over with....glad to hear a story from someone that has been there done that with a similar story.
You're welcome! I'm glad this video has brought some comfort to you. Happy Wellness to you 🙂😊
The phantom symptoms I never thought of... Thanks for the share!!!
Thank you for telling your story!!! I am terrified. I just found out I have adenomyosis and my dr suggested a hysterectomy. I am still unsure. Praying God gives me a sign either way!
Thank you, I had a full hysterectomy this week. I am recovering now and hearing your story helped me to see past the pain. ❤❤
You are so welcome and thank you for sharing. Happy Wellness To You!😘😊😎
did you have a vaginal or abdominal hysterectomy? Did you feel pressure when getting up from bed or a chair?
I had it vaginally, yes for awhile I felt like something was going to fall out.
Thank you so much for sharing your story and your experience! You just gave me the confidence I needed. Thank you!

Nezi, thanks for sharing your story. I love your health journey videos. I really appreciate them. Your story inspired me to do better this year about getting the health exams/screenings that I need. Glad to know you're doing good today.
You're welcome and thank you, for your support. I am happy, this video has touched you. We, as women, need to hear things, from, another woman, sometimes. It keeps us on our toes, to do better. So, yes. Do some planning, get your appointments in, soon.
Happy Health and Body:)
Thank you for sharing. You provided the exact information I needed to hear from someone outside of the medical profession, who has actually experienced fibroids and a hysterectomy.
+SUGATHESOUTHERNDIVA You are very welcome. I appreciate your comment and compliment. Happy Healing To You:)
Thank you for Sharing your story.I had my hysterectomy 8fibroids was size tennis balls uterus was a size of a grapefruit.I had my whole uterus removed.49 years old when I had the surgery it was my third major surgery 2C-Section with my 2childrens I'm doing wonderful at 51yrs old now.Love your Testimony on this Health issues .My Surgery was 8-28-16
Thank you
Thank you for sharing this. I was recently informed I need surgery. I'm plus size and on a health journey. Surgery is something I'm not thrilled about (no one is). I've always been thick but my stomach was smaller. I couldn't figure out why my belly was bigger and chalked it up to being peri-menopause. I started losing weight but my stomach wasn't going down that much. So now i'm faced with really getting this weight down which ain't no joke after 40 (for better recovery) and surgery during a pandemic. Well hearing your story as help me feel less anxious. Thanks again
You're welcome, Felicia! I appreciate you sharing your story. Happy Wellness to you.
Thanks for sharing your experience!
Congrats on your wise decision you will really help a lot of women out there and the ones like me that are researching their options and at the same time going through this issue and many doctors just tell them "to wait and see." They are not the ones dealing with all the inconveniences of having pains and bleeding so heavily that you don't even can leave the house!
I am scheduled for the Da Vinci procedure on Feb. 21th (partial hysterectomy). I've been dealing with a lot of bleeding for about 4 years but always had the spotting and uncontrolled bleeding problem. Probably I also had the fibroids for a while, they just didn't discovered them on time. They finally did in one on my visits to the ER. I was bleeding so heavily! I am happy that I am choosing this procedure. I am now 47 years and approaching my menopause years and really don't want to have another issue to deal with during that time. I want to fully enjoy my life without fibroids.
I will share one of my many experiences; I Went to FL to visit my sister and we decided to visit the Universal Studios. I was bleeding at the time but I just wanted to have some fun so I went ahead! Once I started walking around in the heat, cause it was the hot FL summer, I started bleeding like crazy. My body just draining all the blood it could, and I also felt the change in my mood, I rapidly felt tired and exhausted. I got so upset and called my doctor, I explained that I had come to FL for a quick vacation and all the walking seemed to further aggravated my problem. He advised to go and lay down until I arrived back home. He scheduled a DNC upon my arrival. That was one my short vacation in bed watching movies in my sisters house.
There were many more times like this and I am just gave up life because of this. I go to work, then I stay home laying around, doing what I can just chatting with my hub., cause there is no sex life. We are growing so distant...I am tired of living like this...
So thanks for your video and I will keep you posted once I have my surgery.
Question: Did you experience any irregular bleeding at all? I you didn't then you were one of the lucky ones!!
Good Morning Sis,Had MY Hysterectomy In January & It Was One Of The Hardest, But MOST Rewarding Things I Have Ever Done. YOUR Story Touched ME & I Thank You It's So Amazing How An 5lb Tumor Can Reek Havoc On YOUR Life- I Been Suffering For Yr's & Until I Had Enough I Like YOU Said-Had NO Idea This Thing Was ln METhank You For Telling YOUR Story Sis
Your welcome and thank you for sharing a piece of your story, too. I appreciate your comment and compliment:)
Thank you for sharing I am having a myomectomy Wednesday. Mine is the size of a grapefruit and it's sitting on my bladder and colon I am 42 but still can have children. I decide to retain my uterus for a little longer. Thank you for being so honest and candid. So helpful.
Oh, you are so welcome. I hope things went well, on Wednesday:)
I am the same age as you and having to make the same decision. Did your fibroids grow back? I was told to get the hysterectomy, but my fibroids are smaller than yours. I have three of them. How do you feel about your decision?
Thanks so much for sharing your story. I'll be having my hysterectomy next month.
You're welcome and Happy Wellnes to you:)
Just wanted to say a quick thank you for sharing your story. I'm 37, no kids and have 2 fibroids the size of grapefruits causing me all kinds of problems. I've waited long enough dealing with these things and am getting ready to finally get a hysterectomy. Hearing your story has helped calm my fears and anxieties. Looking forward to coming out the other side healthier and happier.
How did it go Leigh Ann? Those are HUGE fibroids! I think you are making a wise decision. How did it go? Did you have it? How are you healing? I have multiple and have to decide what to do. I'm so torn. Don't want kids, but some women have such issues after the surgery.
Thank you for sharing..I'm working with my Doctor and may have to experience surgery and this testimony has been very comforting. I appreciate this so much
You are so welcome. I remember feeling those same feelings, you are feeling, now, but, you will make the best decision. Happy Wellness and Healthiness, sis!:)
Thank you for sharing - I'm 37 and was scheduled to have a hysterectomy last august because of very aggressive fibroids which I've had since I was 18. I have 9 fibroids (sizes ranging from grapes to oranges) that alter my life. But I'm eating healthy and trying different naturals meds to see if I could get rid of them. Every woman has a different path and I'm glad you're doing well.
Hello! You are, so welcome. Have you been suffering, from, your fibroids? Have you seen a difference, since, you changed your diet? If so, that's great. I am happy, that you are finding your pathway. Much success, to you. Thank you, for listening to my journey:)
Happy Health and Body:)
Yes, I canceled the hysterectomy because I felt a difference in my symptoms after doing a strict cleanse and eating a vegetarian diet. Thank you for the good wishes and much success to you also :)
Great! I'm happy to know:)
How is the dietary method working? Really curious. It's been 4 years. Did you end up having to have a procedure done? If so, how did it go?
Great story, I'm due for surgery in about a mth for large fibroids. I'm not nervous or anything, actually looking forward to no more periods! But I'm doing my research and your video is very supportive, thanks for sharing!
Felisha Morton I'm happy you found this video helpful. It's good to research and listen to other people stories and that's why I shared mine. I'm proud, you are getting yourself taken care of. You will feel much better, sooner, than later.
Happy Healthy Healing:)
Thank you for being so honest. I have my surgery coming up, you really helped to decrease some of my fears. Stay well..
You're welcome. I'm happy I could help. Happy Wellnes To You:)
Thank you for sharing! Your explanation helps a lot in my decision making for my huge fibroid.
thank you so much for sharing! I'm 37 with numerous fibroids, heavy bleeding etc etc and I'm at the point that I would like hysterectomy too. I'm so over it. so glad to hear that you are doing well.
Thank you! I wish you the best on whatever, you decide to do. Happy Wellness To you:)
ALL OF YOU, SUCKAS, WHO COMES ON MY VIDEO TRYING TO PROMOTE YOUR BOOK, WEBSITE, BLOG, PRODUCTS AND ANY OTHER STUFF, WILL BE REPORTED TO RUclips AS SPAM AND BLOCKED FROM MY CHANNEL! MAKE A, COME-UP, ON YOUR OWN AND NOT OFF ME!
Thank you so much for sharing your story which is helping me prepare for my upcoming hysterectomy ( painful fibroids as well). Not really wanting to lose an organ or be derailed for several weeks but I think it will make life better. ♥️
That help me so much. Thank you so much for sharing something so private. I'm so grateful I came across it
Jennifer St. Jude Hi Jennifer. You are very welcome. Thank you for listening. I'm happy this video has helped you:)
Thank you for sharing this story I got my fibroids removed in 2010 right after that I stopped having a period. My husband and I were trying to have a child and it just didn't work I wish I would have known about natural ways to shrink fibroids back then.
Thanks for the video ♡. I have Endometriosis & Adenomyosis. My cycles have been messed up since the age of 12. I'm now 40, still childless. My husband & I would like to have one of our own. However, I'm tired of dealing with the everyday pain. Ovaries screaming, cramping, bloating, pelvic pain, cysts, irregular bleeding. I've been on Provera since Nov 2015, which worked well for almost 6 months. Then I had to have an endometrial biopsy and D&C done in the hospital. Which totally sucked by the way. I was under anesthesia & it still sucked lol! Anyways, enough of the denial & hope of becoming pregnant etc. I honestly believe I'm simply done. Although having an hysterectomy will cure the Adenomyosis it will not cure the Endometriosis. I'm at least hopeful that the pain will decrease a lot. And if not smdh I'll probably just go nuts 😂😂😂! Anyways, I enjoyed your video, the first video I've seen that's making me lean more towards having at least a partial hysterectomy. My current doc has spent 8 months repeating himself over and over again about the risk involved. From early menopause, dementia, bone density, infections and so on. He's also suggested that I have an IUD inserted into my uterus. And for 8 months while he's suggesting that all I'm hearing is whomp whomp whomp, yes Sir. Basically, I'm not doing that. Far too many women have had problems including infections and the body rejecting it. For me, it's not worth trying one more thing. I'm simply Straight Outta Hope lol & ready to be pain-free as much as possible. Lots of love and light to you. And to all women who are struggling with this decision...and for the men as well. Because their feelings and opinions matter.
Tiffany Martinez i recommend healing from a Reiki healer🌸
What did you decide on, and how did it go?
Thank you for sharing your experience! I meet with an OBGYN this month to review my options on how to take care of my multiple fibroids. I appreciate you sharing.
Hi Suziebee. You are welcome and thanks, for letting me know, you are taking steps to a healthier, you. I love hearing that:)
Thank you so much for sharing I have my surgery next month I was feeling nervous but after hearing you I feel much better thank you so much again
You are very welcome and I appreciate your comment. Also, I have some tips your post operation, located, in the comment section, as a reply to another commenter. You'll see, PINNED BY NeziNapps and it's the first comment at the top.
Nezi, I have always enjoyed your hair videos but came across this one and it really helps me on my journey on my own full hysterectomy. I I just got out of the hospital 3 days ago after being in for 16 days at which time they found Colon cancer along with my hysterectomy. Finding your video prior to my surgery was very uplifting and took some of the fear away I plan on uploading my story and would love to reference you to view as well be blessed and be well.
Hope u doing well, keep us posted
Thank you so much for your testimony. I am to have a hysterectomy either in September or October of this year. My doctor has not gotten back with me with the actual date yet. I have five fibroids and one of them is pressing against my bladder to the point where if I don't get them out I may go into renal failure. Thank you so much for your detail and thank you so much for just in general speaking about this it has actually helped me and calmed me down. I had decided and will take 8 weeks off and a friend of mine also told me to take some money out of my 401k so my bills won't fall behind and I won't be behind when I go back to work. Again thank you so much may God bless you and keep you and I look forward to speaking with you again
Hi, Sonja! You are so welcome! You sound, like, you want to move your surgery up, sooner, than September or October (only if you can). I never heard of renal failure, but, it sounds super serious and you don't want to wait too long. Taking money out of your 401k sounds good, if that's your only means of staying afloat, because, ain't nobody, else, gone do it for you. Just remember, though, if you don't put the money back in, you will be paying interests, penalties and double taxes. Hopefully, your 401k has a clause, that states you can withdraw money, without penalties, for health issues. If not, I wouldn't worry about it, because, your health is way important and that's why you have money. SPEND IT! Happy Wellness To You:)
NeziNapps akaNezi it's gonna be like a loan. I will be paying myself back with interest!
Alriggght! You're good to go!
NeziNapps akaNezi after my surgery I will give you an update on how it was. Thanks again!!!!!
Oh, thank you! I would love to see how things are going. I don't know if you've seen my helpful tips, after, surgery. It's pinned in the comment section, as a reply to someone, else. I'm going to copy and paste it to you.
You're, welcome! I know that, anxiety, that you are feeling. It overtakes your mind and you feel, super scared, alone and cofused, wondering, if you are making a good decision. All you have is, what-if questions, bogging you down. You got me laughing, because, I can hear you telling your doc, not, to touch your ovaries! lol That fibroid, that was sitting on my ovaries was so annoying. I know what you mean about constantly having to use the restroom. I've answered some questions and gave a few tips to viewers, in the comment section. Whenever you feel up to it, read through them. It'll help you, because, you are going to need some help. Just to give a few, I'll give you 10.
1. No stairs! 2. No reaching! 3.No lifting more than 5lbs, even, a gallon of milk! 4. No chinese food, such as, fried rice! 5. KEEP LAXATIVES AROUND ALL THE TIME, SUCH AS, prune juice and suppositiories (I used both). You're going to be constipated. 6. Learn, how to get in and out of bed, because, your abdominal is going to be hurting. I used my legs, first, then pushed my body up, to get in and out of bed. 7. SIT DOWN, SIT DOWN, SIT DOWN SOMEWHERE! Our bodies trick us, to thinking, that we feel better and it's really not. You have to rest and relax, as much as, possible. 8. Keep plenty of pillows with you at all times, even, in car rides. Your body is going to feel like something is going to fall out and it hurts when we sneeze, cough and laugh. Press the pillow against your stomach as a security net, even, while sleeping. The pillow will be your friend. 9. Have your friends and family around you as much as possible. You're going to need constant help, at least, the first 2 weeks. 10. Eat healthy, clean, non greasy, foods.
Little things, like that, causes, setbacks and they are not fun:( Alot of the things, you will learn naturally, but, it is a process and takes a long time.Once you've healed, you will feel so much better. It took me about 2 full years, to heal. I had the old school bikini cut surgery. Happy Wellness and Health to you:)
Thank you Sista for sharing your pearls!!! The information is appreciated and needed!!! Thank you soooooo much for talking candidly about a taboo subject!!!!!
Tracy Hubbard You're welcome! I'm happy you enjoyed the video. I have more to share:)
Thank you so much for sharing your story! I'm sure you've helped thousands of women. God bless you
You are so welcome
Love this, it is a comfort. I have a outta hand fibroid as well and am looking at partial hystorrctomy. I already have three boys, so not worried about that part. But it is still surgery, still scary. I will be lucky enough to have the laporascopic. Thanks again. Take good care.
How did your surgery go?
Thanks for sharing your story. I'm seeing my gynea on Monday. Still deciding whether to do a video or not.
+iGoBy V HI! You're welcome! Good luck on your visit. You have plenty of time to make your decision, if you wanna do a video or not. RUclips will be here, when you are ready.
Just what i was looking for👏. Thank you for sharing your story!
You're welcome 😊
Very interesting information. I'm just in recovery. Glad you are fine. Thanks a lot.
I'm 35 going through the same thing and may need surgery...thank God I had all 5 of my children years before this cause I don't know how I would feel knowing I could never have them after.
I had mine done at the same age, you are so blessed to have already had children. The depression of knowing noone will ever call me mommy is so real. I wouldn't wish this on any woman
Thanks for sharing...I had fibroids for over 20 years and 4 procedures to remove them over the years... and the last straw was when one grew to the size of a football and smashed my right kidney .. I had a total hysterectomy 4 years ago.. I have a 21 year old
Girl, when I read your comment, I was shocked! I'm so happy you are in a better place, today.Thank you for sharing, as well.
NeziNapps akaNezi Thanks so much 💜💜
@@Zbraze6 Did you have complications? How long did it take to recover where you were back to your usual self?
lockergr hi it took me 5 weeks after a week 1 was able to cook a little and shower ... not much else I went back to work after 5 weeks but I sit all day
Zbraze6. It's great to hear your feeling better. I have a question, was the procedure done the old-fashioned way or via the vagina. My doctor wants to do mines through the vagina and I'm trying to find women that had it done that way. To tell me what it's like.
Thank you for being brave enough to be candid about your experience. It was helpful to know that keeping your ovaries meant you did not end up with significant dryness. That was the most helpful tip I got from you. Appreciate it! Stay well!
Hi, Jane! I'm happy this video answered that question. It's one big reason, why women won't have the surgery. Shoot! It was my concern, too and my doctor, answered, me. So, I had to share that information. You're welcome:)
Thanks so much for sharing your experience! This was so helpful and comforting.
Angelique Chappelle You're welcome 😊
I've watched alot of hysterectomy videos and yours is the last one that I'm going to watch. Thank You so much for sharing your story, my surgery is scheduled in 12 hours and after your video, I really feel like it's going to be ok. You are Awesome and Thanks Again:-)
ConnectedToMeNow Hey, lady! I know you are probably getting ready for surgery, now. So, maybe you will see this message in a day or two. I'm very happy my video brought some type of calm to you. Yes, you will be fine. You have a long journey, as far as, healing and stuff, but, I guarantee you, you will feel 100%, better. Please! Just remember to rest and take your time with doing things. Your mind will make you believe you are healed, sooner, than you think. It's very easy to have setbacks.
I'm happy for your decision, to finding your way to wellness and happiness and you are, so welcome:) xoxox
How are you today? How long did you have pain post procedure? How long before you were 100%?
Thank God I found this video, I have to have the surgery done because of multiple fibroids, pain, excessive bleeding, and PMS symptoms. Well I have been worried about giving up the juice box..lol.. I'm not married yet no relationship and I was wandering what are other options instead of complete hysterectomy. I'm still scared because I don't have much support after surgery but thanks so much for this info.
You're, welcome! Yeah, the juice box will still be juicy! lol If you keep your ovaries, things, shouldn't dry out. My doctor told me, our vaginas get wet on it's own, naturally and the ovaries help it even more. Are you having your ovaries removed, too? If they are healthy, tell your doctor, NOT, to remove them. Our ovaries tend to keep us, balanced, in our everyday life. There are other options to having a hysterectomy. I had a couple of friends who opted to have a procedure done, where, the doctor stopped the blood supply to the fibroids. I forgot the name of it, though. The only thing is, the fibroids come back after time, unless, you go through menopause. Just talk to your doctor about other options or get a second opinion. The hysterectomy is the only way to stop blood supply, permanently, to fibroids. Menopause, stops blood supply to fibroids, too. I'm sorry you don't have any support, because, you will need it. Talk to your doctor about, counseling or after-surgery-support or support groups. Also, you will need assistance at home. NO HEAVY LIFTING (A GALLON OF MILK IS TOO HEAVY) AND NO STAIRS! Women, don't believe me, when I tell them this and they be wondering, why, they still bleeding, excessively. You have to REST AND RELAX or you will heal super slow.
Thank you, so much. I will find out about other options too.I'm in my 40's so hopefully menopause shouldn't be far away. but they did do test and told me I'm not ready for menopause just yet. I actually have an appointment today with doctor so Thanks.
Also, ask about the Laproscopic method. Ask lots of questions. You're welcome and have a good day:)
@@77deerose Hey Deerose, what did you end up deciding and how did it go. I'm 41 and trying to sort this all out as well.
Thank you Nezi. Just had a hysterectomy only 2.weeks and I find this video very comforting. I am not alone on this journey that I find scary.
You're welcome and thank you for letting me know that my video is comforting. Happy Wellness to you.
I understand your feelings and I thank you for being so blunt about.. you did not sugar coated that's what I needed in order to go thru mine.
I'm happy to be of help and possibly, answer, some questions. I appreciate your comment.
this is why I'm having my hysterectomy I have several fibroids the sizes of golf balls .. it's very painful
Amanda Rhindress , how was it? How do you feel now?
Patricia Greenlee it’s frustrating when they don’t reply.
Same Amanda.. I had four the size of tennis balls and by god the past three years were hell because of it. Was very sick, lost a lot of weight due to being so sick, lost all appetite for food made me feel sick after every meal.When it came to that time of the month I was having periods that sometimes went for a lucky 3-4 days to 1-2 MONTHS straight. And because of this as well with the loss of so much blood every time I ended up in hospital 7 times over 2 years having to get blood transfusions and iron transfusions as well. At one stage I had lost that much blood over a six month period that I was rushed into hospital by a ambulance by my private doctor, was feeling not so good at work one day, left work and went to see my private doctor he took blood tests and sent me home to rest, half hr later he himself then came to my house and said I have called a ambulance you need to go to hospital right now before something bad happens.. I was like “ok but I feel fine now” he said “ my dear you are not fine you blood levels are not right at all and you are a very sick girl right now!, And with the amount of blood that you have left that is running thu your body YOU SHOULD NOT BE ALIVE!”.. he said, your body as gotten that used to of this and somehow your body as worked out how to go into overdrive and has kept you alive!.. I was gobsmacked 😳. That’s where they had found the fibroids when all the tests where happing. So all that happen and thousands of more doctors appointment and specialist appointment over the two years, see cancer doctors because my blood wasn’t right, the stress of just everything and having to deal with being a single mother of two boys, having a bloody period that was killing me, me going to specialist appointments and breaking down in tears telling them to just give me a hysterectomy already so I can start living normal, so my boys had their mother back and not so sick all the time.. so it’s been 11 months now since I had my hysterectomy and I am on cloud nine AND FEEL AMAZING!!! 😊👌🏼.. has been a massive life changer for me and I’m so glad that I did it.!
I’m thinking about doing it. Is it painful and how old where you when you did the surgery? I’m 41
Yes, it is painful, but in the long run and after you heal, the pain goes away. I had my surgery at 39 and I'll be 50 years old on October 4th and feel great. I have no regrets, still, to this day.
Aww... thank you for sharing this information! I've never had surgery before either and next month, the day after my birthday, I'm scheduled to get the massive fibroid(s) removed. I have one the size of a cantaloupe! Everyone says I'll feel much better after they're out... not being as tired and stuff. It's good to know that my "juice box" will still provide "juice" too! LOL!!! Thank you Beautiful!!
Hi Tracy! You are so welcome and thank you, for listening.
First, I would like to say, Happy Birthday in advance. Secondly, I'm happy to know, you are taking care of your body. Having a fibroid removed, as big as yours, will make feel a whole lot better. Those things suck and drain the life, out a woman.
As long as, they leave your ovaries, that juice box will continue to provide, all the necessary juice. Make sure you talk to your doctor about your ovaries. Tell him, if they are healthy, Don't Remove Them! They provide estrogen and balance in our lives. If he does remove them, you will go into menopause.
Remember, to have lots of help from family and friends, don't walk up stairs. If you really have to walk stairs, walk down them or up them, backwards, sit down somewhere, no reaching, carrying heavy stuff more than 5 pounds, don't eat Chinese fried rice. My step mom warned me about that, and I ate some, like, 5 weeks after my surgery and baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaby, I thought, I was dying! OMG! I had to drink prune juice and use suppositories to get that stuff to move.
Keep Laxitives, handy. Drink lots of fresh water. Eat healthy, as possible, because, you want your bowels to move, smoothly. You will be in alot of pain, down there. Don't need to strain yourself. You will learn, what and what not to do, while recovering. Just follow the doctors orders and SIT DOWN! It takes a long time to recover. Don't need any setbacks. Also, take as much time, off work, as needed. They are going to try and send you back to work, fast.
Okay, I talked your head off, enough. Happy Healthy Body. Muyah!
***** Thank you, my Beautiful sister! I appreciate EVERY WORD you shared with me! I was telling my daughter yesterday how I was concerned with just 'what' type of pain will I experience since they're not cutting anywhere near my private areas... what's going to take the recovery so long? So it was awesome to hear from you addressing some of my concerns. - - - The doc told me upfront that he was leaving my ovaries for the reasons you shared. (Except he didn't mention the 'juice box', just the menopausal thing. - - - I live on the second floor of my apartment and there are quite a few stairs so I will remember to go up backwards and be careful not to go up and down often. Yikes! - - - My daughter will come home from the air force to assist, my 19 yr. old son lives with me, and then I have many friends that are saying they plan on being there for me as well. {{BLESSED}} - - - And I don't have a traditional job. I'm a speaker for a company and will have to take some time off but, the doc told me about 6 weeks. I also have my own business creating videos and stuff so he said I can continue to do that because I'm able to sit. - - - - Since I'm a veteran, I'm going through the V.A. hospital and they are so great here in San Diego! - - - So again... THANK YOU and BLESS YOU for the words of encouragement and advice! I'll let ya know how it turns out ♥
Alright, Beautiful!
That makes me happy. I do have a concern about, those stairs, though. The second floor? Not good:( I wish you can stay with somebody, for awhile. You'll be fine, I know.
My pillow was my friend. I kept it on my stomach, the whole time; even, when I went places. It feels like something is going to fall out. I had the traditional, bikini cut, hysterectomy.
Yeah! Doc's, always, tell you 6 weeks, but, believe me, they are programmed to say that. I guarantee you, you will need more time, than, that.
You will, also, feel good through your shut down, 6 week, period. Don't let that fool you. You are not healed. You are healing! lol Honestly, it took me about 1 year to feel, %100, better and I didn't stop cramping, bloating, the whole PMS symptoms, for 3 to 4 years. My body didn't realize my uterus and cervix was removed. It was so weird.
They were very mild symptoms, though. 5 years, later, I still, bloat, irritability, back pains, but, very mild and barely there. Everybody's, body, is different. My one friend didn't experience those things, after, her surgery.
In the end, you may get bored, have crying spells and think, you can move around. Just allow yourself to heal and have lots rest, cable, fun things to do in bed and your team be there for you. You'll be fine:)
Okay, I did it, again. I talked your head off. I'm sorry:(
Nezi
***** LOL!! I sure appreciate you 'talking my head off'! I would love to actually talk to you over the phone or video for a few questions that I don't want to post publicly. Hey! Maybe we can do a Google chat or something?
That's cool. I don't know how to do it, though. If you know how to do it, then, we can schedule a day to chat. That sounds like fun.
Thank you for your video! Such wonderful insight, I'm scheduled to have a hysterectomy in a couple weeks and this is helping me prepare questions for my doctor at my pre-op.
You're welcome, Tiffany. Happy Wellness To You 😊
Thank you so much for this video! I am experiencing fibroids right now and trying to decide on what im going to do! This video was so helpful!
Hello!
You're welcome. I am happy, I have reached you. Taking care of our bodies is very important. Whatever, you decided to do, just ask yourself, is this the best decision and how will it effect me, in the long run. That's what, I did and I have no regrets.
Happy Health and Body:)
Glad I came across your story. I'm having hysterectomy in 2 weeks. I sometimes want to cancel but I need it. Any recommendations please let me know. Thanks
Hi, Kati! I know that fear, that, you are having. It's overwhelming! I do have some recommendations. Click on this video and read the comments. I pinned some suggestions to the top of the comments. Also, you can read, more, further down the comment section. Happy Healing To You:)
How did it go Kati? What did you decide on? I have to choose as well. It's overwhelming and the more I search the more emotional I get.
Why do you wanna keep it? 😂 and I hate kids and I have them lmao!!! Anyhow, thank you so much for sharing something so personal and important gor you. ❤
Thank you for posting this! Very informative and helpful
Thank you for sharing your story. We as women need to share, connect and uplift one another. Last year I had an endometrium ablasion and it really changed my life. Your process to wellness was a good one. So many times we avoid going to the doctor...btw I need to get on the stick and get my mammogram. Love you girl! and thanks again.
You are right! We do need to share, connect and uplift, each other. That's why, with my hair channel, I try to have girl talk, sometimes. I'm happy, that procedure, helped you. You see, you are an example of other options, women, can take, for relief. You don't have to do the extreme, of hysterectomies. Some people, believe, that, doctors just want our money, but, not in all cases. Their are good doctors, who, really care. I finally, went and got my first, mammy, last year. It's not as bad, as, I thought. I just, knew, my triple D boobies were going to be flattened, like pancakes. lol
Love you, too. You are the best:)
Why do you want to take my cervix...and Doc's like why do you wanna keep it...
🤔 Dang.
You win!
I'm preparing for.surgery this upcoming Tuesday. my first doctor did the same thing; Watching the fibroid grow. now they are huge and there are several. I am not.comfortable about the surgery but I know I need it. I want to have the Hysterectomy - Laparoscopic but because of the size of the fibroids, they have to make a vertical incision. this video helped me but the nerves are still there. I'm ready to feel better but don't want to go thru this surgery. thanks for sharing. Your story really helped me. how long were you in the hospital?
L. Gillard I know what you mean, with having all of those mixed feelings. I spent 2 days in the hospital. The doctors tried to make walk around, but, it was too painful in my abdomen. So, they sent me the head RN and she forced me to get out of bed, but, she was sweet about it. lol Also, they won't let you the hospital, unless, you have a bowel movement or pass gas. I ended up passing gas, so they let me out in 2 days.
hi, I am about two weeks and days out of surgery. this thing is rough. I had a a.few hiccups. after surgery my blood pressure and hemoglobin dropped. my doctor was very concerned and wanted to.keep me a blood transfusion. The day after surgery my blood count raised a.few points but my BP was still low. I refused the transfusion because my blood counts has always been low my entire life.
A week after discharge I was advised by my doc to come the office for blood work to check my blood count. that week I tripped up on my iron intake and geritol. blood count increased to a satisfyingly number for my doctor. a major problem I had the first two weeks was making a.bowel movement. it was awful! what we're some things , if any, you did to ensure bowel movement? was the there a particular diet you went by? this things is horrible. I took dulcolax and when it kicked in I was miserable; pain, pain and more pain but never a bowel movement!
my bowel finally moved but it was the most painful thing I have every experienced. I was glad but each movement is painful! Any suggestions...
L. Gillard hope you are fine
L. Gillard how big was your fibroid?
@@l.gillard1030 How are things for you now? That sounded rough!
Your story is a lot like mine! Finally taking care of my issues next month. Thanks for sharing your story it was helpful :)
Good for you! Girl! Get it out the way, so you can feel good. You are welcome and thank you for listening:)
Happy Health and Body
So helpful....Thanks for sharing this very important info with us!
You're welcome and thank you for listening. I was going to share my fibroid photos, but, I thought it would have been, too much. lol
