Lindsey/ Re:Appendix removed thru Vagina? WOW...

[Guest guest]

Guess I disagree with you Lindsey. What makes it “unnatural”.

What does natural and unnatural mean anyway. It can be anyone’s definition. I

had a laparoscopic gall bladder removal – it was great. I had my parathyroid

removed that way – it was great.

And I had a vaginal hysterectomy 29 YEARS ago.

Think how long ago that was!! And I was fine! It was the best thing I ever had -

I was out of the hospital in two days. If childbirth had been available, I

would have considered that. LOL But that was the purpose, no incision to heal,

etc. I think your friend is very unusual.

I'm mixed on this type of thing. First of all...it's

not " natural " to have an appendix come through a vagina (just sounds

like something a man would write). Secondly...I had a friend who had a

hysterectomy via her vagina. It was so traumatic that she was thrown into

a horrible case of fibro (she'd never had it before) and was on complete

disability for two years. My father-in-law is an anesthesiologist and he

firmly believes that your nervous system stores trauma even if you are under

anesthetic and that you need to somehow work out that trauma through therapy,

somatic work, emdr, etc., afterwards. Sometimes I think the further

advanced we get the worse off we are. I'm just trying to stay AWAY from

docs as much as possible at this point, who knows what they will try and remove

via my va-jay-jay!

I'm glad you had such a good experience! But unfortunately she's not unusual-she ended up starting a support group for other women that had the same reaction to that surgery. What is important is that you have informed consent. If she had been told that was a possible reaction, she may or may not have gone forward with the surgery, but it would have been her choice. After her MD found out about her reaction he was unsurprised. Lindsey

You rock. That's why Blockbuster's offering you one month of Blockbuster Total Access, No Cost.
