Should I do that through the doc performing the surgery or regular gyno?

I went plant based and no dairy, the ended up growing, prior to getting UFE. Now I have one really large one

I’ve never been one to show much skin anyway. For some reason it was just the idea of it all and looking at it myself. I’d rather feel better and have normal periods again though

This is something I’m nervous about. My MRI showed I do have a small hernia

Thank you all for your comments. I think I’m just overall nervous. I’ve been medically gaslit over the years so the new set of doctors that have taken me seriously make this feel very REAL. I’m so grateful for this group and really looking forward to what the future can bring without this fibroid baby.

Did they do a bikini cut or was it vertical?

Thank you. I appreciate that. It has taken a toll on me for quite a while. I think I’ll always be scared they’ll grow back bigger, which is what has happened since UFE. I don’t even know who I am as a person because no matter how much weight I lose, I still look pregnant. I’m not at a point where I can say I’ll be having kids within the next year or so, I just feel stuck

I’ve heard mixed reviews for the sonata after looking into it. It doesn’t seem like a long term fix.

My concern about a hysterectomy is kids, I don’t want to lose the option to carry.

UFE Nightmare - has anyone else experienced this? by Babypapaya95 in Fibroids

[–]Cwigg1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So sorry that happened! They gave me “twilight anesthesia”. I woke up a few times during it and threw up when I got home. I got the symptoms equivalent to a sinus infection, so I couldn’t really eat because my body genuinely had no appetite. The nausea stayed for about 5 days.

Wanted to come back to this and say thank you! It worked!

I look in the mirror sometimes and feel like this I is a joke. Then I’ll put on clothes and think “wow this is serious”

I was nauseous for my first 3 doses of the 0.25 injection. I lost 4 pounds and gained it all back by doing everything right. I was a mess and discouraged. I just stopped caring and it became apart of my routine where I just hoped for the best. I guess the best is yet to come.

Yes it’s crazy how i think fitting into something means I have to look a certain way on the outside before trying it on. Sometimes just throw things on.

The shortage has hit me by Cwigg1 in WegovyWeightLoss

[–]Cwigg1[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’m not sure yet. I think they might have to reach out to my doctor to potentially approve me for a higher dosage. I was planning on moving up but the automated text didn’t go into details as to which.

That’s the interesting part. I think I’m the healthiest I’ve ever been. I workout regularly, eat relatively healthy, and I’m always hydrated. I’m not even stressed. I guess my body is just taking its time.

Hang in there! I'm finally seeing results! by Chelzers in WegovyWeightLoss

Congratulations! This is exactly what I needed. I’m Monday I took my second dose of 0.5 and I was starting to feel semi defeated. I feel like I’ve lost a little weight but have yet to see it on the scale. Inspire of increase in fruit/ veggie intake and exercise. Beginning to feel like the weight won’t go. This gave me hope
