... one to go...

I have a-fib (at 36 yo - yeah, I know, I'm young to have it), and really heavy periods. Because of the blood thinners that I'll be put on later, and the really heavy periods (and I can't take "the pill" while on the blood thinner), I had the Novasure procedure done (uterine ablation). I was in and out. It was outpatient procedure. The pain/discomfort afterwards was no worse than giving birth. The worst part was the "cotton mouth" after surgery. The next day I felt great, just thirsty.

My next procedure will be the atrial ablation to get rid of the a-fib and the meds. The meds have caused fatigue that I can no longer live with, especially with 4 young kids.

So I'm feeling great. Looking forward to being off meds and getting my life back to my crazy mixed-up version of "normal".

Glad to hear you are feeling better. I had the yankum operation when I was 48 and other than gaining weight in weird places - I'm happy I'm DONE. Never had any use for the original equipment anyway. lol

That's great news.

Praying that all is well soon. Need all the energy you can get with 4 little ones! :lol:

Gladthat things are improving for you :D

Glad to hear that you're feeling better!!

I hope all will be well with you soon! You need to be healthy to raise 4 children.

Kara - Praying that everything goes as planned and you can get back to normal. Although, what IS normal when you are raising 4 little ones? :lol: I can only imagine - my 2 are all I can handle :D :D
God bless you ~

Hope that it works for you! I had it done 5 years ago, but it didn't work for me, soooooooooooo had to go for a complete hystorectomy.....

Hope the rest of your surgery goes well........
Good thoughts and prayers for a fast healing time.
