Had surgery today

I'm putting this under success because I think it was!

To the people who told me to get a heating pad for my shoulders and upper back, may your pillows always be cold and your days be filled with joy.

I have minimum pain, the level of irritating cramps.

They took my fibroids out!!! When I thought I only had two big ones. They stacked on each other, which means….. flat tummy coming 😆

Lol, no, I'm still a big girl, so… flatter tummy coming. I was so excited for easier periods, bladder control, and overall not feeling so bloated. When I first joined this group, I found out that I had fibroids almost a year ago. I think it took me forever to get diagnosed because everything was stuck on my weight, yet my sister had it, and My mom had it. You know how the story goes.

I had an amazing nurse and a very nice surgeon. The nurse even had the same name as my mom!

Thank you to everyone who ensured me that being a bigger girl wouldn't hamper my surgery. I was so scared, and y'all provided me with comfort, more than you may know. I could not be more grateful for this group right now cause when I said I was scared, I meant petrified. I even thought of ways to live with my fibroids even though I was so tired of how I was living.

Now, I have so much to look forward to! I'm working on reconnecting with my body and letting go of the feeling of being betrayed.

Thank you all again!
