ABOUT MY DOCTOR'S VISIT

I went to my doctor on Friday and after the exam he is still claiming that I have an elongated cervix. Maybe so, but not that elongated and when I push on it I can feel more than just my cervix push back up abou 6 to 8 inches. He talked about cervical amputation again and claims that would correct the problem, I thought the first surgery was supposed to do that, not to mention the $15,000.00 my insurance company has to pay. It's not the money but IT IS THE PRINCIPAL to pay out that kind of money and things aren't right down there. Also, he claims I will have another 15% retention of the material used to pull everything up for the operation. I had never heard anything like that when I was researching the surgery. If anyone out there has heard anything about it please let me know. He said that's why they don't pull you up as tight inside because of the extra tightening that will happen at about the 6 month date after the operation. Someone wanted to know if my gyn did the surgery, and yes he did but he is supposed to be the most experienced and best in our area, for the Prolift. That is what they call my kind of surgery, Prolift and a TIT Lift for the bladder. I am still having some pain in my legs which, by the way, he says has nothing to do with my surgery. I told him I have never had leg pain before except as a teenager when I would have a heavy period or when I was pregnant. So I KNOW it is related to the surgery but since he is a man of course he has never felt any kind of pain of this sort. He even laughed at me and said that I was getting a little too tense over the situation and that I need to calm down. He also asked me why I was looking DOWN THERE as if it is a bad thing to look at your own body. Well, what if he had an operation on his penis I bet he would look at it and if everything wasn't as it should be he would probably raise total h-----ll. I am very sad and disgusted at his attitude but I am going to wait and not jump and have any more surgery, also I go in for my yearly exam to my primary care doctor in a few weeks. I am going to ask HER what she thinks and have her exam me and see if she thinks everthing is JUST PERFECT as he thinks. I don't want to do anything rash but I am very saddened by the whole exerience and somewhat depressed. But I am trying to go forth and take it one day at a time, and see if it gets any better, as he says will happen. We'll see. Thanks for all the support I appreciate it so much. Helps to keep a person's spirits up to know strangers are concerned. Hugs to all of you. Angel.
