Surgery for me May 17th and Happy belated Mothers Day!
4 months and surgery for a different reason
Now to give an update on my prolapsed bladder and bowel problems....I saw my GYN and she said to leave my cervix. She did not want to remove it because it's risky surgery with my bladder and bowel right there. She is worried about nicking them by accident. That would be horrible. She said she recommends to just get your cervix removed if you have a hysterectomy because it's too hard to remove later. Wish I had know that when I had my hysterectomy. Everyone said to leave it. Too late now. She said to have my surgeon just tack it up when he slings up my bladder. The xrays I had showed that I don't have to get extensive rectal surgery so that is good news. So I am down to one surgery where I thought I was going to have three. Whew! I spoke to him yesterday and we scheduled my surgery for May 17th. I will be out of work for 4-6 weeks with no tub baths, no lifting and no sex for 6 weeks. My husband is not going to be happy. I on the other hand will welcome a break. Ha ha! Sorry but going through menopause and it's just hard. I am sure some of you understand. I have a couple weeks to get things in order at home and work. I am going to take my 6 weeks and not rush going back to work because I can get disability. The warm weather is coming and I am going to enjoy a little break. I have not taken off longer than a week for surgery ever. Work is slow right now so I might as well do this. Hope everyone is healing well and getting ready for the warm summer weather!!! Woo Hoo!!!
Went to my Urogynocologist about my problems
The doctor said either my cervix pulled down my bladder or my bladder pulled down my cervix. He is not sure and won't know until they do surgery. I have a rectocele again and I had that fixed in 2008. That is your rectum pushing out into your vaginal area. All these problems are from child birth, deterioration of muscle tone as you age and straining from constipation. The fix is surgery and they use mesh material to sling everything back up. They usually go in vaginally to do the surgery. I should have had my cervix removed with my hysterectomy in 2012 but there were women telling me to leave it for my sex life. I listened and now here I am. My doc said I can keep my cervix and he can pull it up but I am afraid in 4-5 years it will be falling down again so I am going to have it removed. To top all this off I have to have an X-ray for my bowel to see if I have a more serious problem where your intestine telescopes on top of itself. If I have that problem I will have to have more intensive surgery and possibly an abdominal incision. That will take longer to heal. I had this test in 2008 and did not have it so I am hopeful for the same. I will have 2 docs performing my surgery and possibly 3 if I have the serious problem I described. I guess when I do it .....I do it right. I have to schedule the X-ray yet. I will not know when I will have surgery till after the X-ray and then coordinating it with all the doctors. I hope it's no later than beginning of May. I want it in April. I want to be able to go on vacation in July. My doc is saying that for 8 weeks there is no lifting, no tub baths and no sex. That does not include if I have the more intensive bowel surgery. That will probably add more restrictions. This is happening at the wrong time!!!! I need to get in shape for summer and enjoy my boobs being more symmetrical in a bathing suit.
Provider Review
Dr Sorokin and his staff are friendly, helpful and professional. I would recommend this physician to perform your BA, BL, tummy tuck, lipo. He does not do other plastic surgeries like rhinoplasty or facelifts. I think it's better so he can specialize in just these procedures. I told him I was not happy with my left breast after almost a year and he performed a 2nd revision for the cost of the anesthesia and OR time $1800. He said he wanted to make me happy and that meant a lot. His office staff go above and beyond to meet your expectations. I have never been treated so well at any doctors office. They make you feel special and pleasing you is their number one goal.
