Going in for my Operation
Posted , 3 users are following.
I have been on Zoladex for 8 months now (2 months longer than I should have been!). I have managed to lose nearly 2 stone and had my pre-op last Thursday.
I am terrified of the operation itself but cannot wait to be out of all this pain and discomfort. The Zoladex has been amazing, but has to stop and I don't think I could survive the level of pain I was in previously. I am having a Total Abdominal Hysterectomy, they are also removing my ovaries and probably my cervix, so a good length of time off work.
This group has been nice to turn to when I was feeling awful, thank you everyone for that. I am looking forward to a new me after I recover!
Love and best wishes to you all x

My op is on Wednesday 2nd September, so no it long! The hospital have been excellent. But it is a good idea to put together a list of things you want to ask x

What I will say is that when I returned home and started to be a little more comfortable, that is when I realised all my other pain had gone! At that point I could not stop crying with relief...it is really gone!
I am now looking forward to getting my life back and am even returning to work next week (half days to start with). I have lost the bloated look I had, i've had my hair restyled and am back at slimming world, look out world, here I come! xxx

My fibroids were destroying me and causing bowel and bladder problems too, I didn't have a choice either. I still maintain it has been the best decision ever! I lost my weight with slimming world and have returned to the group as soon as I could. I was so bored after the op and couldn't sit up comfortably for ages, (I had 2 positions, standing or laying on my back) so was I eating anything that stayed still too long! lol. I am now getting back on track with my weight loss and have more motivation than ever.
I am still recovering and trying to make sure I take it slowly, although I have returned to work. I feel like the future is mine now. Be positive, the fear is normal (I was terrified, I had never had an operation at all). But once you wake up you know the pain is short lived and will end, not like before. Good luck and hugs x
