Well ladies
I've finally gotten all the test results back and everything, and I have a fibroid tumor, and i have to have a Hysterectomy. In 5 months it's grown to 4x4 ish. Growing rapidly, and if i don't get it taken care of could end up in the hospital do to complications from it with in 2 months. I have no fmla left till around june or july. Doctor said birth control isn't gonna help it, specially since it is growning this rapidly. I have to talk to work and see what my supervisor is willing to work with.
me.
hope everyone is doing well.
Keep hanging in there. We will be thin.

Sorry to hear that you have to have surgery. I hope that your work is understanding and that the surgery goes well. You'll be in my thoughts.

Hey Wendy,
Sorry to hear about you having to have surgery, know you will be in my thoughts and prayers as well Keep in touch and let us all know how you do K?

Hi Wendy,
Sorry to hear that you are facing surgery. I had a Hysterectomy a year and a half ago. It was my second time dealing with fibroids. I had one removed in 1992 when I was 27 and then my uterus fell in 2002 and I had the surgery in 2003. Not only had my uterus fallen but I had fibroids. I was on the pill at the time and it did slow the growth of them down, but my first one was the size of a baseball (I have a picture of it). If you want to talk about this, feel free to ask me any questions.

It sounds scary, but it's not. Mine was abdominal and I did it awake with a spinal and and epidural (my choice).

Huggsss to you.

How's everyone else doing today? I tell you, it's been a tough week for me and wanting to eat. I made a pact with myself today that I would not eat seconds of anything and I haven't. I'm headed out for a workout and when I get back I know I won't eat, because I have to take my Elmiron and you can't eat for an hour after you take it, and by that time, I'm headed to bed.

I'm almost certain I'm going to be up tomorrow at my weigh-in...but I know why and I'm taking care of it now.

Have a nice evening ladies. I'll talk to you all sometime on Friday. (thursday's are crazy days with school and work and TOPS, so I never usually make it here).
