"Hello! Glad to find you all here. I have been dealing with uterine fibroids for two years and I am ready to have one removed. I would love to talk to women who have had the procedure done."

"Hello, The reason why I joined this Meetup is to read some of you al stories, and to see what other people or experiencing with uterine fibroids."

"Yup, I've got the same size fibroid and the big stomach. I've been looking into this:http://www.exablate.net/html/index.ht... It sounds awesome, as you get to stay vacuum packed (no incisions!!) and you get to keep all your parts. Oh, and it's painless. Apparently not too many gyno's know about this procedure here, only in the states. All gyno's know here is "hysterectomy". Please look into this procedure before you do anything drastic."

I also have a fibroid 10 x 9, and look pregnant, and this is the route I want to take, only I can't seem to find a place in canada that does it. I'm looking into if OHIP will cover getting the procedure done in the states. I'm still researching the whole idea, but since this exablate thing is painless and you get to stay vacuum packed (no incisions even!) and get to stay intacted! "
