thanks for the good wishes claudie and sloppy

claudie my understanding is u are predisposed to gallstones so u will pretty much get them whatever u do if u have that predisposition... factors are female, fat, forty and fair.. that pretty much covers me tho i have lost a lot of weight now (which is another factor lol). oh well roll on its removal

sloppy sorry to hear about yr infection hope its going now.. i am pleased to say my discharge has now stopped.. u be careful u arent overdoing it

Oh dear that is me too!! It makes me smile that I have had so many bits removed over the years but I keep gaining weight:o

shykins

i wish i could STOP losing weight right now. ihave zero appetite and now been told by doc to eat low fat til the op .. now that may sound ok to most of u but i am an atkins follower (lost 8stone with it) so lowfat sounds a bit alien to me lol

sorry i seem to have changed this thread from ablation talk to gallstone talk .. lol only us women could manage that

Well i am feeling loads better now,infection has cleared up and im not aching every time i move.
Still get a little tired come early evening but that i can cope with.
Discharge is very minimal now and i now dont feel like i need to go to the loo countless times a day.
Had my first nights full sleep last night without having to get up during the night to go to the toilet.
Hows things with you Shykins?

shykins

sloppy glad to hear u are feeling much better now... i have no ill effects from my ablation (wait to see if a period occurs now).. .surprising how much it takes out of u tho but seems u are all but sorted now

unfortunately i have been in and out of hospital for my gallstones and am tohave that removed on 19th june... no operations since i was about 18 now 2 in a matter of months lol...still will be glad when its done cos i feel like crap

take care of yoruself and lets both hope we never see another period again

Just came across these old posts and wondered if you are still both here and how you got on long term? Hopefully you are well.

shykins

wel i am still here and am sure sloppy is too lol... how are u claudie?

since i had the ablation i have not had a single bleed (sorry if TMI) its absolutely fantastic!!!... i still get some of the other associated symptoms like aches and bad moods but thats it

had my gallbladder out and gained a bit of weight back but to be honest i needed to as i looked so bl**dy awful

sloppy if u are reading this hope all is well with u too

Hi,

I had the novasure ablation done on 14 April, was sent home that day with two different types of painkiller, took one on the evening I got home just to ensure no pain during night but didn't need any more. I expected to have some bleeding after as I bled for 6 weeks after having mirena coil fitted but there was nothing. At expected period time I had a slight discharge so am extremely pleased with the procedure and would recommend it to anyone.

I would echo helenh's comments and recommend the procedure to anyone. I couldn't get on with the mirena coil at all (it fell out during a period) so I had Microwave ablation in March 2008; I had the procedure at 11am, was really ill (just with low blood pressure) and had to have 100% oxygen for a few hours afterwards but I was ok to go home in the afternoon. At 5pm that evening, I was sitting in my kitchen feeling so well that I wondered if I'd dreamed it all! I didn't need the painkillers and haven't looked back.
I was a bit disappointed at first because although my periods became lighter, they still lasted 7-8 days for about 10 months, but they've now dwindled to pretty much nothing and last just 3 days start to finish.
The real upside is that I had been really anaemic for years because of the heavy blood loss and could barely make it through a day without being exhausted, and always had to duck out of parties etc, but I started getting better immediately after the MEA and now feel like a spring chicken again.
