Experiences with

Surgery

My desired date for surgery is sometime in June. I have done my homework on this, do I want surgery, hell no, but name another cancer where they leave the main tumor in your body.

I’ve been told that I could be waiting 14-16 months for surgery !!! Has anyone else had to wait this long? My cyst is HUGE, and just feel like I’m being left to suffer

But I hear that surgery could be done? Knowing my story, could you give me some more information about it? Even with 8 surgeries behind me, surgeries still scares me a lot.

I am having surgery this month and am trying to find list of rls safe anesthesia meds and which to avoid. I have tried search and apparently not doing it right, so thank for any info. Rene

I can only assume the surgeon must have put my arm in a funny position during or after the surgery, because my shoulder felt fine right before the surgery, and really painful immediately after. How do I approach the surgeon who did the original surgery?

I've been put on the surgery waiting list but what surgery I opt for is my choosing. I'm wondering if anyone can share experiences, as the Web is overwhelming.1. Debris of the endo, removal of cysts and fybroids 2. Partial hysterectomy, leaving the ovaries. 3. Full hysterectomy.

so frustrated went to my surgery slot. Had blood pressure and urine taken. Then to be told that it has been cancelled and have to wait for another date 😡

Good morning, My gastroenterologist has recommended the Linx procedure for severe GERD. I am not keen and wonder if any of you fellow acid reflux sufferers have had this fitted. I am reading about the benefits and the drawbacks and can’t yet make a decision.

Hi Can anyone offer advice about having Elective surgery with a suppressed TSH. I'm currently on T3 only and doing well, slowly getting my life back after T4 only and T4/T3 combination not working. I've been offered Elective ENT surgery, I know my TSH will be suppressed.

In a perfect world I’d like to be off drugs other than anticoagulants like I was before surgery but I feel a bit helpless as once I come off Amiodarone I have no control over how my heart is behaving .

I have stage 3 lung cancer, I have no symptoms and have no issues. I have 100% lung capacity. I have had 3 infusions of immunotherapy and chemotherapy. The tumour has shrunk 60/70% I have a choice. Radiotherapy and chemotherapy for 30 days. Removal of left lung. Both have risks.

well guys , my doctor okayed surgery for me 2 months ago, had a left hip given me fits. At the same time he scheduled a PET scan for me ,I’ve had numerous CT and MRI. Well surgery was a suprise for me, the right hip ,the femur was eaten all up by the cancer, the left was worn out .

Any rate surgeon scheduled me for surgery. They did a partial on my left and pinned my right. Yep both at one time. Rehab now. Only question is since they had to drill thru the cancer in my right what happens now. Will it stabilize or continue to spread. 🤬🤬😊

Any advice for this kind of surgery? Thank you!! Alicia

Has anyone had surgery for endo on the diaphragm? Finally got an mri done on my chest and my suspicions were confirmed that I do, indeed, have an endo nodule on my diaphragm .

How long does it take after laparoscopic prostate surgery to start penile rehabilitation?

hi all just a question my nose and jaw are crooked and my question is will my gp refer me to maxillo facial on nhs if it causes me psychological distress ? thanks in advance

He also removed my appendix so that I would never need to have that surgery! I was very upset by the dead colon section. I didn’t know that this was something that I might experience. And was immediately reaching to feel for a colostomy bag. Thank goodness things didn’t go that far.

Did anybody else have to wait long after their surgery was cancelled?

Initially we were told surgery was not an option, however, since we have obtained more information, it seems like it may be an option. My husband has had ED that has been refractory to treatment for over a year prior to diagnosis so that isn't a concern for surgery.
