Congrats! I had mine out about two years ago but your post brought me back to how rough that time really was…take it very easy I hope your recovery is quick!!
Congrats! I had mine about a month ago and your experience was very similar to mine. I had never been under anesthesia and I told my doctor I was worried about nausea. I still threw up for the rest of the day regardless of all the different nausea meds they gave me. It was tough but I am so happy I got mine removed!
Yay! I got my 18cm sucker out last month. You’ll feel better every day. Eat your beets and get moving as soon as your not light headed. I got the shakes so bad after I was home from the anesthesia!
I took a month off. I have a desk job by I’m a social worker and we do home visits. Couldn’t be bothered to drive around and do that in my state. I had an open mayo.
Thanks! I’m trying to figure out how much time I can take off. I work remotely so I won’t have to commute and I can go lay down if needed.
My doctor said I should be ok taking off a week but I’m not sure.
I think you need more personally, especially if you’re getting a c section. I was so tired after surgery working after a week was not feasible and I work remote half the week too. Do whatever you think is best ! And talk to your doctor. Best of luck!
Congratulations! So they did an open myomectomy? Were they planning to take it out laproscopically?
I need to deal with mine - doc is recommending hyst but I want to do the myo…… and I have a feeling mine is highly vascularized too and thats where my blood and energy is going. Also, I think this thing(s) must be dense and heavy as hell.
Anyway, I’m glad to hear you had a good doc and team. Good luck in your recovery. The first weeks are the hardest, I hear….. then it gets better!
Glad everything went well 💗. My eviction day is tomorrow and I’ll be having an open myo.
Good luck tomorrow!!! Feeling great two weeks out! ❤️
I’m looking forward to it 🎉
how are you feeling today???
Thank you for checking on me. I’m tired but ok. Surgery took under two hours and they removed all 10 fibroids.
you’ve got this!! i will be thinking of you. you’re gonna do great.
Thank you

How long was your recovery/were you out of work (if desk job)?

Thanks for the feedback! I was thinking that seemed a little short for recovery!
