Journey to mesh free living: Phase 2-The Waiting
My explant surgery with Dr Raz is scheduled for Aug 1, 2019. I will be having 3 pieces of mesh removed. (he’s contemplating leaving 1 depending on how it looks when he gets in there). My surgeon, Dr Shlomo Raz, will be retiring the next day so I am SUPER NERVOUS about my recovery (especially since it’s been so rough with my last 2-3 mesh erosion/revision surgeries).
I had my initial consult with Dr Raz in May. My dear sister, Sandy, accompanied me for the long journey.
It was very clear Father had prepared the way! I should have never gotten in when I did. The scheduler said I must’ve just gotten lucky and called on a day when someone happened to have just cancelled. ;). I said, nah! ❤️ She was calling that very day to move patients up if possible and if not to make them aware that Dr Raz wouldn’t be doing their surgery as he was retiring the end of July. By God’s miracle, he agreed to do my surgery on Aug 1st!!! As I understand, that will be it for him!! Just another “wow God story” as the radio DJ on 100.7 says! 😍. So now, as alluded to above, I’m in Phase II, The Waiting for Surgery Phase.

I never imagined in Dec 2012 when I had my hysterectomy with anterior/posterior repair and sling due to prolapsed uterus, rectocele, and cystocele that I would end up flying to flipping Los Angeles, California to have it all “undone”!! But here I am preparing for just that. I’ll document here for my sanity. I’ll document to remember. I’ll document to praise my God for what he’s done, is doing, and will do! I’ll document for those who will travel this path after me. I’m tired of suffering in silence. It is RIDICULOUS that I was even offered this as a solution! This is the beginning of the end! Follow along if you like. All prayers coveted and appreciated!!! If you too are journeying through similar circumstances, I’d love to hear from you.
Much love,
Crystal B. ❤️
