Too fat for a hysterectomy?

I've had problems with very heavy bleeding for well over a year.
A fibroid was thought to be to blame but that's been vaginally removed and the bleeding/clots is just as bad
The mirena coil came out.
I can only think the next step will be hysterectomy
My womb was described as bulky. I've had c sections years ago.
But my BMI is nearly 40.

In the end I went private for my hysterectomy, one of the best things I have did x

Is private an option @RedDoughnut ?

I know from experience how hard it is to lose weight, so have a hearty virtual backslap from me. It is so tough.

@RedDoughnut have they tried an ablation. I was similar to you, lost a marina coil due to bleeding/clots. It is awful.

I had an ablation and the marina fitted at the same time and it sorted me. I also have a bmi of 40.
