Thanks @PutThatDownNow , I appreciate your message :-) All went smoothly - in at 7am, left at 6.30pm - what a long day! So. Another polyp was found. Will get result of biopsy in about a week.. this is the other long wait. Also have been prescribed progesterone pill as I didn't want the Mirena coil fitted. And.. have to lose the weight.. polyps occur due to hormones and high BMI. Actually, looking back at my medical history, I had my first bleed and first polyp discovered in 2021, then more bleeding in 2022 and another polyp and now 2023, more bleeding and another polyp. Can't be having this every year!!
Staff at the hospital, especially theatre staff were fabulous. Apparently the last time I was told they didn't do 'sedation', but the anaesthestist said yesterday my records noted I was sedated initially but in a lot of pain so they put me under a GA. I had no memory of that at all! So yesterday he checked my stats, and said, this time you'll sail through it so we'll start off with sedation again and if necessary, put you under again. But yesterday, I did have 'heavy' sedation but no need for a GA. The last thing I remember was the surgeon saying 'Ok, we're just going to wipe the area.. will feel a little cold'.. and that was it! Zonked out. Amazing. Recovery was quick but I was exhausted. Today feel 100% :-)
So, I really need to look at getting a large percentage of weight off.. for my health and actually so that someone more needy can have my hospital bed! I know all the time we're told we shouldn't fat shame.. however I see so many young women in their 20s promoting obesity online but I fear for their health.. maybe not now, but in their 50s, 60s etc. obesity does and can cause disease.. sometimes fatal. I can't do anything about it for others, but I can try to help myself.
Have you got your date yet? xx
