Let the countdown begin. I have been cleared by my cardiologist to go forwards with my March 11th surgery. I also received news from the genetic counselor my results came back negative for all the known cancer markers to be tested. So on both accounts a lot of relief.
Now the reality is setting in, I am going to be having surgery in a little over a week. I am nervous, its surgery anyone would be. But I am blessed to have the insight of some wonderful women who have already gone through this. I hope I will feel "amazing" as they stated.
I know there are controversial studies that state a large percentage of woman who have hysterectomies may not have really needed them. If I was in my early 20s and not already had children I would be definitely pushing for other medical treatment. But having those wonderful, beautify and big babies is one of the reasons I am the issues I am having.
I am ok with this, it doesn't make me any less of a woman. I am just wanting the pain to stop. Over the past few years I thought pain was connected to my lap band, I am thinking no maybe not. In a few months if the adnominal pain continues I will pursue removing my band again.
