I so wish I was looking forward to getting this op done but I'm not sad I feel like I want to run away and hide!

I keep thinking I'm ok I don't NEED this op, as I have good days when things are 'ok' but then when I think about my symptoms (though they are much less than some of you lovely ladies) I realise that I do need to have it as although my symptoms are 'manageable' it is only through meds, a great hubby and a very understanding manager at work, I really can't expect people to keep giving to me due to my problems and I don't want to be on meds to control the heavy bleeding for ever either.

My stomach keeps doing flips and my eyes keep leaking too sad

    YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS... THAT IS THE CORRECT ANSWER!

    Johnny... give the lady a PRIZE smile smile smile

    Luckymum... you have spoken for SO MANY here sad   

    OMG... the FRIGHT in me, SICK to my stomach, SCARED inside... no one could understand.. and when I DID try to talk about my feelings I'd get:  OH YOU'LL BE FINE, YOU WON'T FEEL A THING, IT'S THE BEST THING FOR YOU, EVERY ONE HAS IT DONE, THEY DO THESE ALL THE TIME...

    Yeah.. very comforting...

    That night before, I layed down, felt my nice smooth belly... and I knew it would never look like that again sad

    I'm glad hubby & work is understanding... NEED THEM BOTH!

    You don't want to live on meds forever... this is a solution... and you will be a NEW WOMAN when it is done....

    I wish I could give you a hug (   )...... You sound just like me sad

    And 9 weeks later... I am PROOF... it will work, you will get better..

    I am proud of you!  You are a strong woman!  Take care of your body, and it will take care of you & your family!   smile

    Hugs from your USA friend  smile  xo

      I did the sex thing, I can't say it was enjoyable cos the thought if it was putting me off but there was no pain & it all still works , I think we let our heads run away with us , I felt broken but I'm not , I knew I had to try it to get over this feeling.x

      10 weeks , I think the longer we leave it the more terrible thoughts we have , my consultant told me there were no reasons why we should not try , the point of the operation was to get my life back to normal & I now feel that I'm finally moving in the right direction .x

    I know exactly how your feeling, I was terrified, I made the mistake of watching op on you tube, really stressed myself out and I am a major worrier.

    But all a waste of time, you are fine then you go to sleep then you wake up with plenty of painkillers and for me 24 hours was very uncomfortable then the following day was fine didn't even need the pain killers. Was slow on my feet for about a week. 

    Please try not to worry, but I know I wouldn't listen.

    sending a big hug
