DISCLAIMER: in the current climate we are living in, its so hard at times to create good content. Todays video is sensitive. But as I have had so many requests to give an update on my journey post op and because I also know that this Illness affects more Women of colour ... I had to do it. I want to bring awareness. Women need to be checked more often to avoid getting to the point where they lose control of their bodies for them to get any sort of medical help help. - Jak na to + styl
Thank you so much to all of you who watched this video with me. I really appreciate you being here and listening to my story. Ofcourse this is only my story and not everyone may experience the same pain and emotions as myself. We are all unique in our own way. Again, thank you for being here ❤️
I think your story will give the woman courage to make often difficult decisions. I know why I enjoy watching your video so much. Because you are not only beautiful and inspirational woman, but above all honest, intelligent and simply good. Keep it up:)
@@lidia8481 Lidia your words mean so much to me, thank you!!!
@@newnana9070 hi Nina - thank you so much for sharing with us your personal experience on this. Yes, I feel so good and do not regret it at all. I'm living life now and before it was like time had stopped...😉
Thank you for sharing your experience ❤️
Hi Vilma! Thanks for your video! I just have abdominal total hysterectomy with both ovaries and tubal removal 2 weeks ago. My emotional is like on a roller coasters!
Fibroids are sooo painful. Had my hysterectomy last week and everything is gone, including my cervix. I feel SOOO MUCH BETTER!!! Robotic surgery was ABSOLUTELY NOTHING....felt incredible after just 3 days. Secret is Moltrin 800mg, walking and sitting up. For anyone facing this, GIRL YOU'VE GOT THIS! YOU'LL FEEL SOOOO MUCH BETTER❤❤❤🙏🙏🙏👍👍👍👍
Amy L. - You are absolutely right! I had my procedure done May 3rd and I feel amazing and bored from sitting home lol. I drank plenty of water and drinking celery juice for bowel movements. I had no issues!
Thanks so much for the support!
I have to get one and I’m scared
@@tiffanymonet470 I'm having my procedure done in 3 weeks. I am very anxious. How are you doing now? Any tips I should keep in mind? I've never had surgery before. I'm in my early 50's.
@@bwhatever60 Hello Barbara! You will be just fine. I'am doing great today and I wish I 'd done this sooner. I feel like a new person. I have no pain, I'm walking around, bleeding has stopped, body is getting slimmer hence (fasting). Some tips I suggest is drinking plenty of water, drinking a green smoothie everyday to get bowels moving, eat lots of protein (Fish, chicken, eggs, cottage cheese, plain yogurt. Eat good carbs (Brown rice, sweet potato, quinoa ect). Please follow your doctor's post op directions. They are the experts and know what's best for you. God bless and I pray your surgery is a success. 🙌🏽 💪🏽
HAD MY HYSTERECTOMY IN 2012, FEELING WONDERFUL! NEVER HAD KIDS...DIDNT WANT THEM BUT I FEEL SO MUCH BETTER NOT HAVING TO WEAR DIAPERS FROM HEAVY PERIODS
Why all caps? 🤷🏽♀️
@@SanctifiedLady why not?
Can you answer my question? as of 2021 almost 2022 are you experiencing a prolapsed bladder or inconsistence I would like for you to honestly answer this question before I have this hysterectomy
@@honesty2476 howlong did the surgery take
I had a hysterectomy 2 months ago because of fibroids. Never had kids but I was not trying to. It still sucks that we have to loose parts of our anatomy because of these conditions.
No Matter what your going through ladies. Remember God loves You .
Just had a full hysterectomy. I’m on day 4 of healing. I’m doing great. Glory to God! I’m moving slow. I woke this morning and got my first shower. I had my first bowel movement last night and I felt so much better. Thank you for this video your delivery was beautiful ♥️
I had an abdominal hysterectomy on June 13 was up and walking after recovering from surgery and was home the next day. Experienced very little pain throughout the entire operation after a month I went back to work.
Best decision in my life, plus I lost 5 inches on my waistline. I haven’t been able to where dresses in years because of the fibroid bulge, now I’m wearing everything
I too had my full hysterectomy 4 days ago and feeling stronger every day. Blessings from Merida México
How are you doing? After one year? @@honesty2476
Thank you for starting your video with recognition to those of us who don’t have kids and now have to have a hysterectomy. Mine is in 9 days. My heart is heavy, but I know it’s for the best. Last week I had to have a blood transfusion because I’d been bleeding for 30+ days. People have no idea the mental pain we go through. I am praying for a good surgery and speedy recovery. Thanks for sharing your story.
Hello my lovely. I am so sorry that you are going through this tuff time. It’s truly not easy but there is light at the end of the tunnel. I wish you a speedy recovery and many years ahead of good and healthy life 🌹
Much love to you. My wife and I are going through that now. She was devastated that she wouldn’t even have a chance to carry a baby. She is a labor and delivery nurse si it makes it that much more difficult.
So so sorry my dear,I pray for a speedy recovery IJN
Hey sis! How are you feeling now? And how did the surgery go?
Sending hugs !!!
I had a total hysterectomy 2 weeks ago as I had cancer and pre cancer in my womb I'm 42 had no children but I'd decided that I didn't want them.... Its a hard thing to go through but it saved my life.. Its a slow recovery but I will get there.. Thank you for your video ❤️
Wishing you a speedy recovery ❤️
Praying for the best @ karen!
how's your sex life? hurt or not
How are you feeling now?
@@rockandblues3635 it's fine I didn't have sex until about week 10 but no change at all
I had a hysterectomy three weeks ago. Unfortunately, it was either that or continue having a daily period and severe pain. I was diagnosed with adenomyosis. My last menstrual period started in July, and never went away. After d and c, endometrial biopsy, oral contraceptives... nothing worked! Fortunately, I’m 46 years old, finished having children after one son I had 13 years ago. The pathology report revealed severe adenomyosis. No other option for me. My heart goes out to all the women suffering and who have to make the decision to get a hysterectomy . Trust God that everything will be fine.
This was my same exact experience. I always had rough and painful periods with heavy bleeding. Last year my periods started to last a full week. Then in August it just never went away. And I bled bled bled nonstop. Huge clotting and massive blood loss and I couldn’t predict when it would come. Adenomyosis as well as fibroids. So along with the pain and bleeding, I had to deal with anemia so severe I literally had to stop after walking a block to rest. I was bone tired. Hemoglobin down to single digits. Which I had to raise up with diet and iron transfusions just to be able to qualify for surgery. It was an ordeal and I’m glad it’s over. I’m 44 with 3 children 2 of which are grown so it was the best decision for me. My heart goes out to the women who were unable to have children before doing this.
Thanks for sharing I was just diagnosed this week. Sister also has it and doing light personal research before discussing with the dr.
Can I ask how you are now you're 4 months on? I am at the decision making stage for adenomyosis and endometriosis. I hope you're well xx
Im 38.i have adenomyosis. I am bleeding for one year now tried pills and progestin nothing worked. 🙁🙁🙁 Thinking of having hysterectomy soon. In shaa Allah.
Watching some random videos now about hysterectomy 🤕🤕🤕
Wow… I am 46 and I’m experiencing all of this! Hoping that the hysterectomy is going to give me my life back.
I had my hysterectomy dec 2018 at age 38 with 0 kids. November 2017 I had a myomectomy and by April of 2018 my fibroids were back. I've always had painful long heavy cycles. I was very emotional a week after I made the decision to have surgery, but I knew it was the only way to have my LIFE back.
I'm glad that you are doing well ❤
Hi Moni - thank for being here. I'm sorry you had to go through 2 surgeries. How are feeling ? ❤
Wow your fibroids returned. I understand how you feel not having children. Its hard but you are healthy and safe. God bless you. Xxxxx hope you are feeling better. Xxxx
Moni, how are you doing now? How's your life? Bladder issues, sex, how's your energy now?
I am 37 and I am going in for a total hysterectomy in 2 weeks. I am nervous about having to be on Hormone therapy for such a long time. How are you feeling now?
This is so similar to my story! I had my hysterectomy almost a week ago and I'm 38. I had a myomectomy almost exactly 2 years ago and 8 fibroids were removed. He left 2 very large ones to try and save my fertility. I started going through an ultra tampon with a pad every 1.5 hours. I was debilitated. It wasn't fair to my husband. We made this decision and now I'm more concerned with his mental health. He says he's ok but idk 😪
Hello from New Zealand, I'm 41, lost a dear and cherished child at 14 weeks at 22. I'm about to have a partial laparoscopy hysterectomy in 4 days. I can't thank you enough for hearing your words of compassion, I really needed to hear those kind words. I don't feel alone in this anymore, I know I have a band of sisters all over the world who have gone before me. You offered kindess and hope today. Thank you sister.xxxxxxx
Awwww I’m sending you a huge 🤗 for of ❤️!!! Wishing you a speedy recovery after the procedure 🥰
Am very much impressed about that
Did you experience any problems with back curvature, I’ve only heard doctors mention this
I had my surgery 2017 and 3 years later I feel fine and sometimes I forget I had the surgery. My recovery went very well. Day one was ok,day 2 and 3 was horrible and by day 5 and 6 I felt fine. I watched videos on youtube and they scared the hell out of me. If anyone out there is scared or worried you'll be just fine.
Am really scared and worried to do a hysterectomy . But am tired of my fibroids its depressing me.
@@winterblain4742 it's not as bad as you think. Your recovery depends on you!!! So if you go in with the mind set of a fast recovery you'll recover fast. I promise some of these people who had a hysterectomy make it seem horrible. Yes the first few days are uncomfortable but you'll heal and go on about your life.
Thank you. I'm scared and worried. Procedure July 26,2021🤦♀️
@@lakishaherrera6148 you'll be fine.
thank you, I am thinking to have uterus removal but I am so scared
"Get your life back!" those are the words that helped me in my decision. I've suffered for decades, since my twenties. I'm 54 now and I'm about to have my hysterectomy. Fibroids and enlarged uterus is so uncomfortable. - Your video is helpful to many of us. ♥♥
I have fibroids too and am facing this decision. Did you feel a difference after the hysterectomy? In energy and comfort?
@@likeaphoenix3143 My surgery is in October. I'll let you know. I'll return to this message.💕
@@lvettesonai how do you feel now?
@@lvettesonaihow you are feeling now
Thank you for sharing this! My wife is scheduled to have a hysterectomy and I asked her to imagine what life will be like after and she said that she imagined sadness.
I told her that I could see why.
A woman's mental-emotional motivation for being is largely tied to her ability to bear children.
I think that it's a crushing blow to anyone to have a large portion of your purpose voluntarily removed aka to shut the door permanently and suddenly on it rather than always have the idea there looming in the background that you are a potential child-bearer.
And it doesn't matter how great the upside is. You have to come to terms with the psychological effects of the change.
I want you to know that you are "Whole" as a being. Having a uterus, functional or not, doesn't define your being.
I believe that we all, as humans, struggle with the concept of "wholeness" regardless of the issue. I see this with drug addicts who use to escape their sense of 'lack of wholeness'. I see it men in the gym who abuse steroids in order to provide a sense of purpose to mask their feelings of inadequacy and false sense of lack of wholeness.
The point is that I dont want you or anyone else to ever feel alone because of this false sense.
I believe that we all come here to experience and meet this challenge and mirage of "lacking wholeness" as part of our soul journey so that we can face, overcome, learn from it and then teach others, just like you're doing with this video.
We may be born with different deficits and gifts, but we are all whole. Nothing is missing.
Thanks again for creating this video!
Thank you for this comment. Having a supportive spouse is everything.
Thank you for your encouraging words. Needed this.
I imagine this mental emotions myself of emptyness and so much more.. scares me thinking about having your uterus removed. ... thanks for the words.. blessings fo u and yours
Thank so much for this word of encouragement. I just turn 42, no kids, heavy bleeding with several large fibroids and my only option is getting a hysterectomy- literally saw the doctor and was told that. Felt sad, so seeing how you support your spouse and those reading your comment like myself. Thank you.
@@yandia77 what is your email? That is absolutely not the only option.
My Sister had a massive Fybroides that had to be cut out and she felt that her Doctors strongly urged her to also take out her uterus and tubes as well...However, once she had that surgery she was never the same again, because she so desperately wanted to have children. She fell into a deep dark depression that she couldn't get out of. She unfortunately passed away a year ago, I believe from a broken heart. I pray your video will help women who feel hopeless and depressed can get through this challenge with positivity and faith.
Thank you so much for sharing your journey with us. It was truly touching and helpful. God bless you my love🙏🏾💗.
Johnnel, I am so sorry to hear about your sister. May she rest in piece⚘
Hello Johnnel. I’m saddened to hear about your sister. I pray that GOD will comfort you and your family EACH and EVERY DAY with his LOVE and UNDERSTANDING. God bless you .
🙏🙏🙏💙🙏💙
Wow! that is sooo sad and heart breaking!
People must understand the a woman's reproductive system is like a jewel to her.
they don't always work properly or not at all but the fact that they are apart of a woman's entire being/femininity plays a huge role psychologically.
Physically we may feel on top of the world after a hysterectomy but mentally it's too close to home.
I suppose there's a bright and dark side to everything.
I have two beautiful daughters but after I had my 2and child at 28 I was done done! Didn't want anymore children by choice
I have fibroids but they have grown over the years so it's time to have this procedure.
My mind goes back & forth with emotions but as I said, it takes a mentally strong person to have this procedure.
I knew it was time when every month I couldn't even stand because of the flooding.
People will normally miss work because of sickness or appointments but I've had a history of missing work because I was too anemic to move from the bed.
when it get to the point where you are hemorrhaging to the point of severe weakness hysterectomy becomes the only option.
These fibroids stole over 20yrs of my life so yes, they must go ASAP.
Mentally I will get past the sadness but I will never get past the countless years feeling drained as if I just delivered a child.
To postpone this surgery would mean I'm giving these blood-sucking demons power so they must go to get my life back...period
May your beautiful sister Rest in Paradise...she doesn't have suffer anymore for there is truly a light especially for her in the heavens!
Did you have the surgery? And if so, how was your recovery?
I had this life changing surgery a week ago and I am glad I am not alone. My fibroids were symptomatic to the point where I had to get blood transfusions. This by far is the most traumatic experience I’ve had. Just happy I am alive and already have daughter plus I will not suffer again each month making trips to the ER. Thank you for the video.
I just had my hysterectomy on Monday. This is day number three. I’m trying to take it easy. I’m still learning how to sleep so that it won’t hurt so much. My story is a little bit different. I found out I had a huge fibroid when I originally thought it was just sciatic pain. I just turned 39 today…no kids. I didn’t have heavy periods but the fibroid was sitting on my sciatic nerve causing me to have extreme back and leg pain. Im not sad that I don’t have kids… I have 8 godbabies and I work with kids. When the doctor said that I could possibly grow another fibroid if they just take the fibroid. I had an amazing surgeon he asked me every time I had a visit “Are you sure you want to do this”. He even gave me a month to make a decision.
I had an amazing surgeon as well… he kept asking me the same thing as well as how was I emotionally, seeing that I had an emotional time at one of my visits. I’m 3 days post op, but this was the best thing for me. I had a supportive surgeon, husband, family, nurses, co-workers and friends. I’ve been blessed with this great support system ans truly believe this stress-free time is what is helping me heal. 🙏🏾
Thank you for this video. I’m having a hysterectomy in two weeks and I’m 43 with no kids. I had a myomectomy in 2010 and here I am again with huge fibroids. I’m sad that I never had kids but as long as I can keep my ovaries there is hope. A friend said she would carry the baby for me. I pray life gets better for me. Thank you for your encouragement.
Hello Jamila - when we believe we will get better, it does happen. Stay focused on your health for now my lovely. I wish you a speedy recovery ❤️
Make sure to talk to your doctor about your estrogen, brain, bones, sex (vagina), hair and skin before you decide. Also, make sure you are at a good weigh before th procedure (losing is almost impossible). I kept my ovaries and 9 month later my ovaries stopped working, bringing more issues than what the doctor told me Id have.
@@vilmasclosett Many thanks indeed dear sister 💕
Yes that's what I'm afraid of. Now I have my hysterectomy scheduled for October. The doctor said a myomectomy the fibrods would most likely come back.
@@ABeautyAddict how are you feeling now? People rarely talk about the dark side of hysterectomy🤦🏽♀️
Thank you for your post. I am 7 days Post Op and I keep thinking that I'm a wuss as I'm still moving really slowly.
After watching this, I feel that I'm not alone. I am inspired and focussing on better days to come. Bless you 💞
I too had an hysterectomy back in 2013. I can honestly say that I do not miss having my menstruel cycle. I had fibroid that was causing me great pain and thus depleting my iron. I was tired all the time, so I am glad I had the procedure. I am almost 50 years old and am going through menopause. Horrible night sweats.
Hi Carolyn - thank you for sharing your story ❤
Your daughter’s entry into this video made me smile. You are both sooo beautiful!
Thank you so much Christine ❤️
Very
This is the best video that I have ever seen that sums up how I've been feeling for last 8 years. Thank you so much 💓
I had my surgery almost 2 weeks ago now and your videos of your journey have helped me a lot. Thank you for sharing!
Excellent video! You addressed several of the questions that I've been walking around with in my head. Thank you. Happy to see that you and your daughter are well.
I had a total hysterectomy 05/12/21 and I believe it’s the best decision I could’ve ever made. We already have a son(13) and daughter(10).
❤️
I had mine 1/11/21. How are you feeling?
You seem like such a kind, genuine woman and I’m so grateful I came across this video. With your encouraging words and listening to your positive experience I feel at ease about my getting my hysterectomy In January. I’ve never been able to conceive and being almost 41 I’m over the wanting a baby phase of my life, especially where I have 3 step children now. I was reluctant to scheduling my surgery because of that little bit of hope left I have but after my fibroid pain and past myomectomy and the fact I’d more than likely return for another one soon I just want to be done and feel relief. And as you said “get my life back!!” Thank you so much.
I was diagnosed with endometriosis 3 years ago and I’ve been taking pills to stop my periods. Although I mentioned it, my gyno didn’t expose a hysterectomy as an option. Last year, I asked for a second opinion and literally asked to get the surgery done. I’ve already had a bunch of tests and I’m waiting for a date confirmation. It is my body and it is my choice. I’m 40, have a 11 y/o boy and no desire of having more kids.
Just wanted to say THANK YOU! Listening to your testimony gave me more confidence about my decision and, especially, a lot of hope about my life changing for good ☺️☺️☺️
Thank you for giving this perspectives- my experience was similar in some ways and completely opposite in others. It feels good to have a community of “hysterectomy warriors”
So grateful for this video. I just had to have a hysterectomy due to placenta previa and accreta and third trimester bleeding that wouldn't stop the third time. I'm grateful for my children and have suffered with endometriosis for years too so many miracles. I've been so traumatised by the whole thing. Needed bladder surgery to and got my ureters shaved. Still have painful stents in. So grateful my little preemie survived too. Forever grateful but also so sad and grieving.
Thank you for sharing this Vilma. Need this. I'm one of the people who you spoke to being in my thirties and not having kids yet. Dealing with fibroids and dr's focussing on removing my uterus.... cause that's the only thing they have to offer. I felt it deep in my bones when you said 'getting your quality of life back' and having the feeling that you are lost. Cause nobody seems to understand. I understand why you get emotional. I have it all the time 'if' I talk about it. Not having control over your own body and mind is dramatic.
.
I have hope....
I am grateful for you sharing your story...
I hope you will continue on being happy with yourself....
..
I wish myself the best as well when a change is gonna come.
Ho sweetheart....I'm so sorry you are going through this. Please stay strong and better days with good health will come your way ⚘
Had mine 2 weeks ago and it was the best decision of my life! Fibroids had me in a very dark place . This video was amazing 💗
It's one month now since I had this surgery, recuperating well at home now
@@marymugo8152 so glad to hear that💗
Same here, I had my surgery june 13 everything went smoothly very little pain after surgery and also once I got home. was active before & after so that made my recovery that much more faster. lost 5inches on my waistline.
First time in years I’ve been able to wear dresses, I don’t have to hide my fibroid belly no more
I love hearing these testimonies! My surgery is in 51 days and I’m ready, fibroids and these heavy cycles have had me in a dark place as well 😞
Thank you Ma'am. I just randomly came across your channel. Thank you for your support. I just had Hysterectomy done today. This gas they put in your body to get a better look of insides really hurts. Not to mention feeling constipated as well. I've just took my Hydrocodone n back to rest for now. 💕
This is by far the best video about fibroid experience on CZcams in my opinion. From start to finish, I totally appreciate your empathy, sympathy concern and understanding. And I completely respect your testimony and journey. I will be going in for my hysterectomy tomorrow morning and by far looking at this video has reinforced my decision and reasoning for doing this. I know it has to be done otherwise I will be going through the same fibroid issues again. I was blessed to have two children, and even though in the far corner of my mind I would have loved to have had a little girl as I have two boys now, after the miscarriage, I know that I am in no position to fight or complain. I'm very grateful and thankful and I am looking forward to having a fibroid free body.
Hello lovely - thank you so much for leaving me this wonderful message filled with kindness and words of wisdom. I do very much appreciate your time just to be here and to have shared a portion of your life as a woman and as a mother. I hope that God continues to bless you on your journey ❤️
Vilma, thank you for sharing this. Hearing your story is so comforting ❤
This is so encouraging... I just had mine done it's almost been 3 weeks. I use to pass out days after having my cycle from heavey periods, I have gotten blood transfusion and my hemoglobin has been from 4 to 5... I am looking forward to feeling strong again. Thank you for making this video...I stubbled across this and I'm glad I did.
This made me cry because you explained just how I feel. My fibroids have derailed my life as I'm anemic from so much blood loss and always feel weak, tired and cold. I can't leave the house for 3 days each month having to deal with the flooding and sheer exhaustion. I'm almost in menopause and I'm thinking of removing my uterus so I have take hormone replacement for the rest of my life to save my bones and overall health. Estrogen will make them grow, so I don't see why I should get them removed only to find they have grown back. Thank you for sharing. It really helps. Glad you are feeling empowered again!
Awww send you loads of encouragement and love!! You’ll pull through very soon x
Thank you for posting, Vilma. On my 40th birthday I was released from the hospital after my hysterectomy due to endometriosis. I have no children, but I'm happy this happened to me, because I was always prepared to live without them. I had no issues and still have none, almost ten years later. I too have my life back.
🙏❤⚘
I turned 40 and had a hysterectomy a week afterwards. I have no kids, but also never wanted any. I have 3 bonus babies with my husband and 2 goddaughters that I love dearly… so I’m fine with no biological kids.,
Thank you so much for being so open and transparent with your experiences and feelings. I am facing a hysterectomy and I know it is the absolute correct thing for me and to “regain control over my life”, as you said. THAT is exactly how I have been feeling - like I do t know what my body has in store for me from one day to another.
I am an ESL teacher, and I am so sad that I will be missing a good chunk of the year with my kiddos… but I think they’ve already been impacted by my extreme lack of energy.
Thank you again for your courage and sharing your voice with those of us who are facing the future more brightly bc of you❤.
Hi Vilma! I'm so glad that you're doing well. I know that you are a blessing to so many who may be experiencing a similar struggle. May God continue to bless you and your family.❤
Thanks so much my lovely ⚘
Thank you for being so brave and sharing your story - I am due to face this surgery so you have helped me so much! 🥰
Thank you Vilma. I was so depressed and alone when I was going through mine. Getting my life back one day at a time
⚘⚘⚘❤❤❤
I just had a full one 4wks ago & I feel the same way 😓
Thank you for this video. I had the surgery August 5th of this year and have gained about 15 lbs. I have been so sad about the weight gain and started working out but this gives me some relief that I’m not alone🥰❤️
I am 40 and struggling with fibroids that makes me have spotting for almost 10 days after 4 heavy days on my period. Sometimes I feel sad and depressed because it’s affected my husband as well. I have a new gynecologist now after 3 years I followed another one with any changes, I hope with this new one I can have my life back. I thank God because I have 2 handsome boys, it’s a blessing. Your videos are so inspiring and your daughter is a little angel. I really love your channel. Be blessed 😍
Hi Charline. I had the same or worse than what you are now experiencing. I pray to this is resolved for you so you can have your life back ❤❤❤
I was diagnosed with endometrial cancer..0 kids..life or death..i chose life..i was feeling so down..march 9 2021 was my surgery..but reading the comments i see i am def not alone..thank you for this video
Hello lovely...I am so sorry to hear about your diagnosis. Stay strong and positive ❤️
@@vilmasclosett thank you for your nice words .. i will
Thank you Vilma, I am new to your channel and this is the first video I’ve seen of you (actually saw it a couple of months ago for the first time). It is very sad how one can feel so alone when many women suffer from this condition. My husband is not empathetic at all, and feel like I never do enough because I am always tired. I just talked today to my PMP and he is referring me to an OBGYN. Thankfully I have two children already and watching your video for a second time today (with a clearer mind) has given me the courage to speak to my doctor and follow the steps to better myself, I’ve known I have fibroids since 2018 when pregnant with my 2nd child, and after he was born I when through a rollercoaster of emotions along with depression that I just kept postponing surgery, it was just not the time, my gynecologist back then gave me two options, the pill or surgery. I decided to stay on the pill but after two years I am still having the same symptoms and bleeding. The reality is that I am not the happy, funny, achieving person that I used to be before. My marriage is hanging from a thread and my health has deteriorated a lot and feel helpless sometimes. You don’t know how much watching this video again has helped me. I am focusing on my physical health today, I can’t keep everything and everyone together in my home anymore without my health. Thank you and God bless you and your family.
Hi Romina - thank you for taking the time in writing this message. Before I go any further, I want you to know that what you are feeling is normal. Alone, misunderstood, not in control or your emotions and body...its all normal. At least for me as I went through the same. I am sorry to hear that your husband is not giving you the support you need...maybe he doesn't know how and you may need to show him. I did a video sharing my story before my surgery. I would love for you to watch it and possibly watch it with your husband...maybe seeing other people sharing what they went through which is the same as you...maybe it will open his mind to the possibility that he's the one who needs to do more as at the moment, you are in need of him more than ever. The video is emotional...but it shows light of the problem and by all the comments under that video, he can see so many women go through this in silence. czcams.com/video/JmsVzHVUFaQ/video.html
I remember a Male leaving me a message saying he now understands what his girlfriend is going through. He thank me for helping him see the truth....
I hope you get the treatment needed and that your recovery brings you your life back ❤

Hey lovely - I’m so happy I was able to help by sharing my story. I wish you all the best sweetheart 💕
I'm still struggling with the emotions from February of 2022. I felt better after my surgery but when I got home and alone it hit me. I started therapy. I encourage every woman who experience this to go afterwards.
Take it easy on yourself God is in control pls it is well
Thank you so much. I'm in my late 50's and I'm about to start this process. Thank you for blessing everybody with this information.
Thank you so much for sharing. I am going through the recovery and is very nice to hear you not having regrets and feeling awesome.
Just had my hysterectomy and ovary removal. I am thankful for women like you who shared their story. It gave me strength and made me feel prepared for what was to come prior to surgery.
God & Time heals All 🙏🏼
yes, hun x
I'm sorry you had such a rough experience! I'm two weeks post and I'm so grateful that it was such an easy, pain free procedure for me. the hardest part is remembering that I just had surgery and need to take it easy!
I'm sharing this so other women know that the experience can vary, greatly. I had an ankle surgery last year that was incredibly rough and I'm still recovering all this time later.... before hand, everyone said that would be easy and it definitely was not. It's strange how the body reacts so differently to the same procedure ❤
Thank you so much!!!! I had my surgery 2 weeks ago....I am trying to feel normal again....I am getting there!!! Thank you!!!
You're beautiful and so is your daughter ❤️ I really appreciate you sharing your story. I am seven weeks past a hysterectomy, lost my uterus, fallopian tubes and a 11 cm fibroid. I don't feel normal and I am struggling with waves of sadness. I wasn't expecting this to be such a struggle, maybe I was just so naive. Sitting is really rough, especially on hard surfaces. It helps to know I am not alone and to hear other women's experiences. God bless you.
Stay strong lovely. It will get better, I promise!!! You need to deal with one thing at a time. 1st your health. 2nd your emotions. 3rd your journey ahead. It will get better ❤️🩹
@@vilmasclosett 🙏❤️thank you so much
God bless you Vilma! I'm sure your story will help inspire and give others so much encouragement. xx
Hi Sandra - ❤
Thank you, Vilma
Thank you for sharing Its been 8 week since I had my hysterectomy I feel so much better a weight lift even my mood is better and no pain anymore due to firbords took a two years to get diagnosed. I suffered joints pain,fatigued dizzy spell weight gain heart issues. I felt at times no one believed me but my due to covid a lot of people have been left in pain and suffering. But I have to say my doctor she was amazing she said it was a tough surgery as one of the fibroid bout 14cm was basically sitting in the birth canal also ment I have to be opened on my tummy. But I really am 1000th % better then I was before my op. Thanks again for sharing you look amazing ❤ I am a mom of two boys and just turned 40 and I feel alive again x ❤️💕
Hello my beautiful friend! Sorry for late response but I’m playing catch up on CZcams. This was such a good video! It takes me down this dark path I was years ago. A lot of women has been down this road but God bless you and us all because it’s dark road to go down. But by the Grace of God we made it. I pray this video touched someone or many. It touched me because I thought about where I been on that journey and where am at today. God is good. Love always and be safe my friend ❤️
Thank you so much 🤗
Thank you for sharing your story, it was very insightful. I will be scheduling my surgery in a few weeks and am terrified, your story has given me some peace of mind. God bless
Thank you so much Vilma. I am having a Hysterectomy and I was so worried that my life wouldn't be the same but you gave me hope. Thank you and God blessings.
❤️
Thank you, Vilma, for your positive and heartwarming video. You have a very gentle and understanding way of sharing your hysterectomy journey. I appreciate that as I am only 2-1/2 weeks post-op from my total hysterectomy. I had uterine cancer that was caught very, very early. I am grateful for that, and looking forward to getting some of my normal energy back. What a long process!
Thank you for sharing your experience.
Linda K.
thank you so much for sharing your special story, im about to go through surgery and this helped me so much, i also feel like i have failed as a parent as i cant even do things like cook a dinner, go to the park, sit/stand for over half an hour. (im a single parent of 2 disabled childern), god bless you and your family. xxxxxxxxx
Thank you SO much for this video! I had a full hysterectomy 10 weeks ago (my uterus was holding 13 large fibroids) I feel so much better but I know it will take more time for me to feel "normal" again, because I have forgotten what that used to feel like.
Thank you for this video I am on week 3 of my hysterectomy and I have really been going through the motions a lot of ups and downs and emotional roller-coaster. This video and all the comments from other women who has gone through this, it let's me know I'm not alone thank you for this uplift and sharing your story
Awwww you are most welcome lovely. Take one day at a time and all will fall into place ❤️
My emotions are all over the place, my mommy passed away last year… so my emotions were everywhere
This is such a beautiful and respectful video. Thank you for sharing 💕
Thank you for this video. I'm 3 weeks post op. I thought I'd be further along in my recovery buy your video is giving me hope that I'm right where I need to be.
I’m week postoperative; this video is Amazing, just what I needed.
Wishing you a super speedy recovery 🌸
I am so glad to hear someone who has felt the emotional ups and downs like I have and I am now. You said so many things that I felt. I really feel you understand the same things I have been thinking. I was a very hard decision for me as well. I was sad to think of losing my uterus. I was attached to it. It gave me 3 children. I want to cry off and on when I see a pregnant person or someone I know just had a baby. I am 46. 2 weeks post op. I had pelvic/bladder pain for last 2 years. Unknown reasons. Nothing obviously wrong with any of my female insides. It was so tough to decide because of this but I finally decided I had to give this surgery a chance to see if it can fix me. I couldn’t keep living in pain. I am hoping it will work. I hear everyone’s after hysterectomy stories and they sound so positive. I am hoping this will be me. To feel good again. To be myself. I am so glad you are doing so well and thank you so much for sharing!!
Hello Martie -send you loads of love and a speedy recovery ❤️🌸
I had this procedure done 33 years ago after having 4 children. I was truly suffering every month embarrassed and so on . Today I am sooooooooo happy I did it since then I am really enjoying my life.
Thanks so much for sharing your experience. I recently had a total hysterectomy and I needed to find some light at the end of this tunnel. Still very uncomfortable and healing at this point. I appreciate your honesty and you’ve made so many things more clear to me than any of the other videos I’ve seen. Be Blessed!!
Thank you Vilma for the heart felt video all the best to you and your beautiful daughter.
Thank you so much for sharing your story, it is very encouraging to me, because I'm going through what you went through before your surgery. I currently have multiple fibroids, with one being the size of a baby. I'm always tired with low energy, and always not in the mood to enjoy life, with heavy bleeding abnormal long period days! ...I have been putting off on having a hysterectomy for a few years now, but now I'm so ready to have the surgery, so that I can start living a normal life again. Thanks again for sharing! You and your daughter are very beautiful❤
Wishing you all the best lovely!! ❤️❤️❤️
God bless you Vilma! You are an amazig woman.
Thank you so much sweetheart ❤️

I will be having a hysterectomy due to fibroids too. Feel like my life is turned upside down with pain. Thank you so much for sharing. God bless ♥️
Thank you so much for posting your video. I so needed to hear those words " I want my life back"! My procedure is this coming Friday, Jan 22, 2021. I'm not looking forward to this surgery, but I am looking forward to NOT having anymore embarrassing /heavy periods! This has been a very hard and tough decision to make, but I'm tired of being anemic/feeling weak and having to get iron infusions. So this is what I need to do. Thank you again for your video and the encouragement.
Hello my lovely. I’m so happy you have found this video helpful!!! Good luck with the surgery and i also wish you a speedy recovery 🌸
Hi kay, I hope your surgery was a success. Why did you choose a hysterectomy and not a myomectomy.
Thanks for sharing your journey. Its very informative for women going through this health struggle. I’m happy to see that you triumphed and were empowered after your life events. Each one, teach one. 🙏🏾
Hi and thank you so much for watching. When I was going through this, I took refuge and comfort in hearing other people's journeys. Knowing that I want alone, helped me tremendously ⚘
Thank you for sharing. Had 2 Laparoscopy to take out my fibroids but it kept coming back and end up having a hysterectomy in the end. Was blessed with 3 kids so no plans of having anymore. Feeling much much better now. No more 2-3 weeks of bleeding and also no more anemia.
I just went through a full hysterectomy now recovering. Thank you so much for sharing your story. You are one of the few to speak on emotions and I loved your quote in the beginning of the video. Thank you!!! 💗🫶🏼
Speedy recovery hun x
Thank you! This is exactly what I needed to hear. I’m being recommended by 2 of my obgyn to get a hysterectomy done. And everywhere there’s only recommendations to not do it but I’ve suffered from painful periods my entire life. And now I want my life back
I first want to thank you so very much from my heart for addressing this matter which has always been kept hush hush by my generation. I was 28 when I was told I had to have a full hysterectomy because of cancer. I had given birth to 4 children and only one went really well - my first born baby. She was was my smallest at 7 pounds. The nightmares about these pregnancies, births, moral and financial support to get a single mother of 4 children a clean start. A year after my youngest baby was born, I was pushed through for my hysterectomy. Again, no moral support and I had to resort to placing my 4babies in temporary foster care.
I was only 27! I had no idea what was about to happen to me!
To this day, I'm more TRAUMATIZED because NOBODY CARED.
Hey lovely ,
I’m so sorry you have gone through a traumatic experience at such a young age. I hope one day you find piece with it 🌸
Sorry you went through that alone. Sending you ❤️ and hugs.
you have my sympathy. going through the same right now and terrified to have a surgery all alone in a foreign country. I never had kids. you, at least, have, or will have eventually when you're up on your feet the chance, ney, the DUTY to raise 4 great human beings who care about other people, not in a victim naive way, but in a sincere, intelligent way that understands the world cannot function for anyone if poeple are selfish and indifferent. you can make a difference, a kid at a time. and of course with yourself. don't alow yourself to get bitter, misanthropic and indifferent, just like those who ignored you. also, as you are so young, build a life that makes people impossible to ignore you; study; have your mind matter. you are not alone in this.
Thank you for sharing your story Vilma. I know it's going to help someone. You have such a sweet spirit.
Ho Kesha - ⚘❤
I am 42. I have 2 kids; 16 and 13. I have been dealing w fibroids since 2017, but just last week I received some lab results and it shows multiple fibroids and my uterus is the size of a 3 month old pregnancy. The gynecologist recommended me to have a hysterectomy. I have constantly been uncomfortable and I've decided to go with the procedure. I'm mentally going through emotions, but I could see that at the end it would be life changing for the best at the end...thank you for your video
Your story is a lot like mine! I had 22 fibroids removed before I had my 2 children but I’m 41 now and the fibroids are back so a hysterectomy is the next step. Thanks for sharing your story.
Hi Latoya. Thank you for sharing your story as well! I I wish you all the best my lovely ❤️
Thank you for sharing your story, I relate so much to you. Im getting surgery soon Aprox 3 weeks and I was terrified but listening to you made me feel better and not as stressed. Im hoping i get my life back...thank you
Hello lovely. Stay strong and positive!! You’ll be fine at the end of it all 🙏❤️
Thanks for your honest and comprehensive testimony. It is really appreciated.
❤️🙏
You have no idea how much I needed this. I am 6 weeks out and I’m still a little emotional 🥹. I’ve gained weight I still feeling a lot of pressure. Thank much for this! Very happy I had it done as well!
❤️
Hope you’re feeling better ❤️
Feel better soon, I am in week number 5 post surgery
Such an uplifting and encouraging video 💕 thank you for sharing your experience. I will be going for this very soon too. I am 37 and have no kids as of now but have registered for adoption. With prayers and divine love it never made me feel depressed that I won't be able to conceive.
A soul is a soul, it may choose your tummy or someone else's it doesn't matter. The soul who is destined to be a part of your life, always finds its way. I choose health over any artificial treatments to have kids. Your healthy body, peace of mind is so important I feel. If you crave for motherhood, there are other ways.
I also wish to spread this msg to all women undergoing the same health concerns..
Sending u love from India ❤️
I really needed to see this. Thank you!
Thank you so much.
I am on week 2 after my total hysterectomy and I've watched thousands of videos but I have to say yours was most relatable and I feel so encouraged. More blessings to you!
💯Absolutely true!
Thank you Vilma for such a great video. My surgery is scheduled for the end of this month. I've never had children but I did want to. You were so candid and transparent and I am so happy that the first video I saw from your channel was this one. Thank for being such an inspiration ☺️
Hi Dana. Thank you so much for your kind words. Stay positive and all will be well ❤️❤️❤️ sending you loads of 💕
I have normal menstruation. No heavy periods. Started having fibroids for 11 yrs. Its just the last year that I felt different. Abdominal pain, heavy bleeding and my latest ultrasound and MRI. I have infection on my right fallopian tube, my left fallopian tube had a cyst and burst. So there was heavy bleeding. Then last year, got diagnosed with endometriosis. The pain got worst and fibroids got bigger and it just making me very uncomfortable in everything. I can’t do my usual stuff(sports, dancing,hiking etc). Life has not been fun and not easy lately. So my doctor decided for total hysterectomy in the next 2 months. I am 48, no kids. This video makes me understand better and felt less anxious. Thank you for sharing your story.
Recently had my sub total hysterectomy. Pain and uncomforte at the moment, praying this will get easier. The loss feels real now, thought i had passed/accepted this. However, i am going to flow on the journey of recovery. Thank you for this video.❤
Thanks Vilma for this touching testimony. I,m recovering from an hysterectomy. I have been worrying over some post hysterectomy experiences but you have simply answered me. Am happy now that what I am going through is normal. Thanks and remain blessed
❤️
Thank you for putting out this video. I'm about to have a hysterectomy and I'm excited. I've been trying to have a hysterectomy for YEARS and it just never happened for some reason. Now that I'm dealing with a LOT more fibroids and done having children, it's time. I look pregnant all the time and on the pill to keep from having 3 periods a month.....yes, I said 3! the fibroids are causing immense pain and I'm excited to get off the pill and move on with my life.
Hi Diane - I’m pleased you are going to finally be free from the pain and discomfort you have been dealing with!!! I wish you a super speedy recovery 💕
I was having 3 periods a month myself! I gained so much weight, even though I was barely eating at times. I have an ob gyn appt to determine if I want to have a hysterectomy… and I’m leaning more on the side of yes. I cant deal with the blood loss, fatigue, weight gain, having to feel like you are by yourself and alone.
Thank you for being so vulnerable. ❤️
❤️
Wisch youpi all the best, love the positivity of this video ,thank God you have your beautiful princess and may he continue to have your back ...
Thank you so much for your kind words and for watching x
I had my hysterectomy 7 weeks ago. I am feeling much better, I thank God I did it because fibroids were killing me inside
Thank you so much for this. I'm about to have this procedure in August and I am going through a plethora of emotions. They're going to be doing a full hysterectomy on me. I'm watching a lot of videos and I find them more helpful than I thought I would. So thank you.
Hi Constance - it's very normal to feel the way you do. This shall pass and you will be feeling better in no time at all. Stay strong ⚘
Hello :) I am 37 and about to have a total hysterectomy. I am a little nervous about being on hormone therapy for so long. How are you feeling so far?
This is excellent information coming from a kind, empathetic and intelligent woman. Thank you. ❤️
❤⚘
Thank you for sharing your story. I've been diagnosed with urine fibroids back in 2021. Sometimes I'm in a lot of discomfort. Now I'm exploring my options for treatment.
I’m scheduled to have my surgery 01/13/21 and I’m really scared but listening to your makes me feel much better about my decision.
Thank you
Your thoughts and feelings at the moment are sooo normal!! I was the same way!! But I know I’m my heart you’ll be fine
I'm scheduled for one on the same day 1/13 and I am so emotional as well. I'm so glad I came across this video it gave me much needed comfort.
I’m glad you are in a good place now 🤍🤍🤍
❤️
