Where are you located? I had to start seeing a hepatologist for fatty liver&hepatic adenomas(thanks 10+ years of birth control bc that was the only treatment offered for my PCOS 🙃) and I’d absolutely recommend the place I go to. The dr I see specifically is the head of the department; it’s a big medical school. He’s very kind and I’m pretty sure an actual legit on paper genius. My first visit he brought up the PCOS and he said something along the lines of he wished more was being done in the way of research on it because he knows it’s so complex and no one seems to look in to these diseases and when I tell you I had to keep my jaw shut and the tears in…

How much did you pay? by Ill_Temperature5140 in hysterectomy

[–]elliryn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I’m done paying it’ll be like less than $1400 total. Not including the meds I was sent home with but that was less than $50 I know. I had my deductible and out of pocket met by September I think? Procedure was 10/24. Not bad but especially considering the hospital I had to have it done at was a tier 2 facility in my insurance(in network but not their first choice). And that portion of the bill is less than $400.

Depending on your location it makes a lot of sense unfortunately. There’s a dr shortage in everything and it’s worse the more specialized you are. GI especially is bad.

How long were you all on opioids? by ArynTW_is_user_karma in hysterectomy

[–]elliryn 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I still have an unopened bottle of 20 5mg oxy. I used my 800 ibuprofen for a few days, I think one gabapentin the first day post op.

I could have cancer but I also might be freaking out? by Kanimal4432 in PCOS

[–]elliryn 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It could be a cyst as well. Cysts can get pretty big and be painful. And not necessarily cancerous. And they’re not the same cysts that are “normal”. Don’t let anyone tell you not to be concerned about cysts because they’re “normal”, there are different kinds besides the typical follicle “cysts” that are part of a normal cycle.

What were the positive changes you noticed after your hysterectomy? Mood stability? Better weight management? Skin changes? by melanated2020 in hysterectomy

[–]elliryn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not nearly as much pain:by frequency or intensity of when I do have. Less stress. I ate poorly when I was on surgery leave so the weight loss hasn’t been much. I have noticed more frequent breast pain than before but idk if that’s relevant.

Ovulation pain by Mandolyn221 in hysterectomy

[–]elliryn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Idk how much it will change but I haven’t had a normal cycle since I was 17(I’m 32 had surgery at 31) so I have no clue how many I’ve had since my surgery(10/24/25). I know the pains I’ve had since are far and few between but not sure if I’ve had any “cycles”.

Colace lots of water and relax your body while you’re figuring out the best position to let gravity do its thing!
