My Fibroid Story + Advice Before Getting Surgery

Hello darlings! Thanks for tuning in. Today I open up about my experience with fibroids & how they returned after doing an open myomectomy 6 months ago. I recently had a laparoscopy done (1 month ago) to be exact to remove the newly formed fibroids. This video is definitely the most personal video I have ever done & one which I thought I would never have to do, but I decided to share my story for anyone who might be going through the same thing.
I just want you to know you are not alone and you don't need to suffer in silence. Thank you for watching & I pray you remain hopeful & receive the Lord's peace.

PS.
I am happy to be back and I am grateful that you're still here even though I've been so inconsistent. Thank you!

I had the same problem before my two boys. I found the following all used together helped me in shrinking the fibroids. It took a lot of discipline. 1. Cutting out sugar 2. Eating a mainly plant based diet and only organic animal products (food as close to the source as possible) 3. Fertility massage/ Maya massage 4. Apple cider vinegar shots each morning 5. Probiotic supplements 6. Prenatal vitamins 7 Dry body brushing 8 Naturally derived skincare and make up 9. Naturally derived household cleaning products. 10 Weekly detox baths 11. Castor oil packs 12. Exercise 13. Nuff Water 14. No processed food (crackers, cookies, fast food). Praying for your complete healing. May your body be made new in Jesus name. God was there for Hannah so shall He be for you.

And yes your diet has a lot to do with fibroid, I don't know why doctors won't admit this fact. I had a an open myomectomy in 2019 after trying and failing to shrink them naturally. So after the surgery the I decided to do my best not to let them grow again, so I changed my eating habits and two years after, It didn't grow back yet, all thanks to God. I would advice you incorporate ginger and turmeric in your diet. If possible take ginger and turmeric tea whenever you are on your period. I do that always I believe it has helped a great deal. I pray for courage to share my story as well as what I have done to prevent them from growing again someday.. Love from Nigeria ❤️❤️

I feel you girl... I went through the same thing 4 years ago. I did the myomectomy and have a child a year later. Thank be to God it didn't grow fast. So it allows me to get pregnant. I suggest to get pregnant right away if you want to have kids. Sign- Classmate from High school

Thank you so much for being vulnerable, as a very private person, it really helped a lot! Also the reassurance that it is okay to feel hyper sensitive at a time like this. It can feel very lonely when it seems everyone expects you to be yourself.

My fibroids were getting so big that I look 7 months pregnant. I started juicing with veggies and some fruit. I add fresh ginger too. I noticed that if I eat sugar they start to balloon up. Have cut out sugar, gluten and dairy too. Fibroids feed off these. My stomach looks and feels way better. My bleeding has improved too.

I am 3 and half weeks myomectomy post op, your video has scared me but I am learning a lot from the comment section. I wish you all the best and hope your fibroid goes away for good.

I honour your bravery for sharing this very emotional story. My mom had the very same issue, so I am very empathetic to women who go through this. Love + Light to you my love ♥️

I been suffering with fibroids for decades never got helped until I was in my 30s it took me too loose almost all my blood.. 1.3 hemaglobin still surprised I'm still here than God, I met my wonderful doctor 🏥 the next day, she my angel she offered to do my surgery, I had to get and and emergency biopsy after that my doctor did a myomectomy on me I had 40 fibroids and she removed them all and fixed my uterus, I went without help for so long thinking I was protecting my womb and I won't going to get a hysterectomy, but my doctor eased my mind told me about the options and uplifted Me to start taking better care of myself the healing process is hard for me but I can move a little bit just painful

[alesiawhite]

I watched your video in preparation for my surgery. I really searched for every and anything that could get me settled and help my mind be ready for it Thank you. I did my surgery and I'm now four weeks into recovery. Thank you for sharing

[lisakmar]

Also read as much as you can on estrogen dominance. Fibroids are as a result of estrogen dominance. Everything will be alright.

Giving you the BIGGEST hug ever. I’m so sorry you had to have multiple surgeries. I hope you’re feeling better now. Sending love & light to you! ♥️

The dr told me they grown about 1-2 cm a yr. Yet my biggest one is 9cm. I'm so confused because I randomly had horrible pain within these past few months. I pray you stay well!

I was diagnosed with fibroids and faced limited options besides medication too. Instead of accepting the standard treatment, I took control of my journey.
I changed my diet eating fruits and vegetables only I included turmeric based teas that were decaf and good for female hormones, I focused on my spiritual and emotional energy for 90 days. When I returned for a hormone test the fibroid was gone, and my hormone levels were excellent!
Healthy foods definitely influence your health!

I have recently been diagnosed with fibroids. I have a appt booked in the next few weeks for a hysteroscopy to confirm exactly how big my fibroids are and how many as i have only been told i have a "few" and one being 5cm. It is so emotionally draining and i just cant wait to be able to see the other side of this and for it to be gone and i can get on with my life

[lesliewillard]

I’m a little over 2 weeks post op. I’m still terrified. My myomectomy was the worst experience ever, so full of complications. I’m so scared of having children and of the fibroids returning, but I’m keeping my eyes on Jesus. 🥺😔🙏🏻

[datnursenicky]

I have listened, my intuition tell me they didn’t remove or see everything during that first surgery. It happens and sometimes if they think it is life threatening they will leave them alone. MRI shows everything, ultrasound is not reliable. Sounds like they only went off the ultrasound. I did transvag, ultrasound and MRI. Ultrasound show 4, MRI said 8 plus multiple small ones. I never heard of fibroid returning so fast...I hear the 🇯🇲 accent. Big up thanks for sharing your story. I will be facing this in a few weeks.

[WhittyBoBitty]

This is the exact reason I don’t want to get the myomectomy without the tools to help them not return. I’m currently doing very low carb, exercising and PRAYER.

I thank you for being vulnerable and sharing your story with us. My husband and I lost our son due to a early birth at 17 wks. When I got pregnant, My fibroid grew bigger than immediately baby and it left no room for my baby. It went from 11.8cm to 16cm and now its 13.3cm (I took a DUTCH hormone test, change my eating and used the results from the test to take the vitamins that my body needed). I am terrified of surgery mainly because of my experience with my pregnancy and not being listened to by the medical world. The placenta was left in my body for 1 month after giving birth to my son, which could have been a life threatening situation. Only by the grace of God, I didn't get an infection, fever or anything my body got rid of the placenta through hemorrhaging, felt like I was in labor all over again. Now Im talking to to different Dr to decide on the surgery to remove this vampire in my stomach.
