I agree with staying in the hospital part. I just want to get it done and go home.
My gyno is a true patient advocate so she agreed that I would be the first surgery of the day and she promised to remove the catheter by 6:00 PM that evening. The deal is the minute I am able to pee, I get to go home. I hope to be out of there by 9:00........
The scariest part for me is that I won't be able to pee, have to be re-cathed and spend the night in the hospital.

Maybe I will. I really like this guy, he's a sort of wise-cracking little Middle-Eastern guy, looks like Al Pacino and makes jokes all the time. He's very reassuring.
But at the same time, I don't feel like he really gets it.
I don't think he'd see it as merely a minor inconvenience if he were bleeding from one of his orifices, every day, forever.
I'll have to look at my insurance paperwork and see who else I can go to.
It's Aetna, so I'm sure a lot of doctors accept it. It's a big company.

Exactly. Women
know what it feels like to have cramps, bleed, be hormonal, etc. You really don't
get it until you've lived it.
.......I would really do some research on this too, Ten. If you're at risk for developing more polyps and having the bleeding start up again, you should look into other options while you have the insurance coverage.
What are the chances of it recurring? If the cervix is cauterized will the polyps grow somewhere else and put you back at square one?
