For anyone who has to under go surgery for uterine fibroids...i am the biggest wimp i know and I had my surgery on the 18th Aug 15 & I'm already very mobile ( bout the house & short walks) hasn't even been 2 weeks. Its not all roses mind , I don't know if I could have any long term problems from taking esmya for so long when you're clearly not supposed to. I , like many others , dreaded the surgery & having to be cut not to mention having a catheter on when I woke up ..so gross , but i' ve survived . What have I been left with? I still have my ovaries, I have some numbness up my right leg & just above my incision , also I visited my gp who said I have been left with a lump of dried blood inside that should disintegrate with time. If I could offer any advice at all stay focused on why you need it , try to keep active & a stable weight leading up to surgery & listen to all the do's & don'ts , if prescribed codeine do take a prescribed laxative with it ...really coz wow ... Hope this is helpful

Six weeks post surgery my dr. gave me the go ahead to start a baby. I got pregnant on the first try, of course I knew my ovulation time so we didnt miss any chances. I am also 41 years old so I consider myself very lucky to have this opportunity. Also I would like to add that pre surgery intercourse was very painful with the fibroids and post surgery the problem was completely solved.
Fibroids tend to return and my dr told me to try and become pregnant within 1.5-2 yrs which is probably when they turn up again. Laparoscopy surgery is a very quick recovering surgery so I will opt for it again as soon as the fibroids return and cause me problems. Good luck with your surgery, I believe laparoscopy surgery is the best and fastest way to solve fibroid problems.

I'm really scared about the surgery and recovery incase things change down there for a lot of reasons that are very personal, if you get what I mean haha. I'm also scared of the weight gain everyone iOS telling me about, silly I know but I am.
Hope all goes well with your recovery. X
