Irene’s Story

Site created on June 14, 2019

Hi everyone! Thank you so much for caring about me and what happens to me in regards to this surgery happening August 13, 2019.  My partial hysterectomy will happen August 13th at the Kaiser Sunset Hospital under Dr, Callegari. I'm entering this whole situation positively and looking forward to my next 50 years fibroid free with no more abdominal discomfort and me back in my cute clothes!  I really do appreciate your presence in my life. 
Thank you and come visit me! I will be off from work  for 6 weeks!

Journal entry by Irene Suico Soriano

Hi everyone!!!
It's done and I'm sitting up...feeling dizzy and light headed but otherwise good:
Here are some crazy details:
1) My fibroid was BIGGER than a basketball...holy crap!!!
2) I lost a lot of blood, hence the light headedness but getting to the right levels
3) My doctors gave me a bikini cut!! So no crazy big vertical scar
but by doing that the surgery went 6 hours coz they had to section the fibroid bit by bit coz it wouldn't come out of the cut they made (grozz I know)
4) I've appreciated all the notes texts and messages....it's made me super happy and loved
Thank you all...they said I will prob go home tomorrow so that's good.
Thanks everyone!!!

Now 6 weeks of rest and recovery!
Come visit me in Woodland Hills!
