Thanks for the feedback ladies. The procedure went well and I felt completely fine after. It's only been a week so I'll be anxiously anticipating the outcome. I'm very hopeful.

Now if I could only get my weight under control,

I've heard many good things about this procedure and am very hopeful to get some relief from the very heavy 30-35 day periods. I did some reading of previous posts here on the subject and am encouraged. Too bad it's not a miracle cure for the unrelenting hot flashes/night sweats, memory loss etc

Any of you ladies care to share your experience good or bad? I would love to hear them.


I was the first patient in my area to have this done in 1998. The doctor went to Chicago to learn how to do the procedure then the machine had to be delivered from Indianapolis and several doctors with my approval were there to watch. At the time I felt like a science experiment. lol After the surgery my first period was very heavy so I was thinking the procedure didn't work. Then every month the bleeding was less and less. I had a 3 day period with normal bleeding for many years till I reached menopause.
I was always had heavy flows so this was a miracle to me. My doctor wanted me to have a hysterectomy for the heavy bleeding. I disagreed because all the tests showed there were no medical problems. The lining of the uterus was thickening which was causing the heavy flow. It wasn't fun going through this bloody mess every month for one year. I was glad I did my homework and found this article in the newspaper about ablation and told my doctor about it right away. Hope for the best for you!
