I see bad reports about both Esnaf and Letoon. I also see good about same places. It seems to depend on what you are having done(?)
SO, has anyone had a hysterectomy at either of these places and, if so, what were your conclusions??
-
PS, you can PM me if you don't want to 'go public' on this.
-
Ooh ... poor thing! Best of luck!!
-
LOL! Ta.
It's one way of losing weight!
But I really need help with who to go to...
-
Whilst I know nothing of this subject; I hope this is helpful.
The medical insurance cover we have, has removed Esnaf from their providers; not up to standard it appears. :-\
-
Ooh, hmm, thanks. Been warned off Letoon too. So.........
-
State hospital?
eeeek!
A friend of mine had a spinal operation at Letoon and she said they were fantastic, went back to the UK and her GP faxed Letoon for a copy of what the had done and she said her GP was so impressed with the indepth report and couldnt believe they operated. He said on the NHS they would have sent her off with tablets and physio... and they if she's have had it done in england it would have cost 3 times as much!

That's interesting Tors. I am hoping maybe someone can say if the Gynae at either hospital has a good reputation. Or recommend a Gynae elsewhere, like Izmir. Though I am reluctant to go that far if I don't have to.
-
Lynne,
A friend was in the same predicament and was forwarded onto the hospital in Izmir where the surgeon was highly recommended with people travelling to him from Istanbul & Ankara.
She ended up going back to the UK last week,as they discovered much more than expected and felt in her circumstances with all the treatment she would need she would be better off where she could fully converse with her surgeon.
If you need me to try and get the Izmir's doctors name let me know.

Murat Cekir is the gynecologist at the Esnaf has my full support. He was my Dr throughout my pregnancy last year. i had a difficult pregnancy after it was found i had a blood infection that could have passed to baby, thankfully it did not. He did a brilliant job of my ceasarian section last December.
Then in January i found a small lump and he removed it, thankfully it turned out to be nothing serious.
His English is quite good and you don't really need an interpreter, Esnaf always provides one anyway just in case. He is polite, very helpful, patient and never makes you feel rushed if you need a chat.
-
Yes I have met him and he was very nice. He suggested I had this op. I am just trying to make sure I am choosing the right hospital/surgeon. A couple of things have happened at Esnaf that have shaken my trust and seeing as this is a bit of a big op, I am nervous.....[xx(]
Thanks very much for your reply. I am very glad you are OK. Congrats on the baby.
Thanks also for your reply Fi. If I need more info I will email you. It's not an emergency, so we are weighing everything up.
-
I agree with Magical Garden here. I also had my 2nd son here with the same doctor at the Esnaf and he was really good. Of course I know the 2 procedures are very different, but from what I know of him he is an excellent doctor.
The most important thing for you though Rindaloo is that you feel completely comfortable with whoever is doing the procedure. Is it not possible for you to see if you can have a consultation with a couple of doctors and see who you feel more comfortable with?
-
One thing you should bear in mind is that hysterectomies are NOT always needed.
I was offered one about 4-5 years ago BUT was also told that after the menopause things often take care of themselves -fibroids in my case, massive multiple ones at that. I decided to suffer (& boy did I suffer) rather than go under the knife.
The consultant told me last year I'd have to go in for a hysterectomy (no other option after the scan) HENCE we couldn't come to Calis as much as we had hoped. Went in for exploratory 3 weeks after the scan. In those 3 weeks we came for a visit to Calis & myself & Carl started doing some work on me - EFT, Reiki, Visualisations. For those of you who don't believe in complimentary therapy & I bet there are LOADS - it's your loss.
All I can tell you is that my 10cm, 8cm & multiple other fibroids between 2-7cm disappeard in those 3 weeks. The exploratory photo showed my womb TOTALLY & I mean TOTALLY empty. I'd had them for many years - the consultant, myself & Carl were gobsmacked - to say the least. We've worked in this field for years but even we couldn't quite believe it. What's the chances of that happening naturally - Zilch? Unfortunately, as is often the case, we know it works, we help other people BUT sometimes we forget to help ourselves!
If you want to contact me Rindaloo feel free to. It was a bit much to take in - even for me!
-
Thanks to you both for your replies. I have met Gynae at Esnaf. HE was very nice, but ...Wont say on here as not fair. Have been told there is a fantastic Gynae at Ege uni.
In short things need underpinning or demolition. Sorry if too much info. Not sure what can be done without surgery. I have already had a repair. But things are worse now.
Linda, tried to Skype & Yahoo you, but no luck [xx(]
-
in the meantime rinaloo
while you are sorting out, maybe try other therapies
the more info you find out you may not need h (prolapse etc)
good luck im just going through menopause....
who would be a woman ehh.
-
Thanks Doll, me too, it seems.

I'm not ALWAYS online I'll have you know!:D Although Carl thinks I am sometimes - you been talking to him? ;) :-\
EFT - www.emofree.com - free download of the basics of 'tapping' it's very easy to learn. Read some of the case studies on there as it works for just about everything. You tap on the meridians - the energy pathways of the body. It's important to say the affirmations (find some that work for you on there) with feeling - gets in better to your subconscious - which is the part of your brain that does the healing.
Makes you feel a bit of a prat the 'saying loudly with feeling & tapping parts'. It IS better if you can find someone out there skilled at using as often works better when you tap along with someone else - they can also check you are tapping correctly & make you affirmate better. LOL
Sounds a load of rubbish & too easy but believe me it works - I am often gobsmacked by how well. Read on www.emofree.com & be gobsmacked too.
-
I will read but I confess I am sceptical when it comes to my problem. Not the right attitude, I know. But I will look, though I am pretty sure surgery is the answer. Sorry.
Looked for you on Skype but found nowt. Tried to add you on Yahoo and had a pending request that disappeared this morning. So I am confused.
-
I've had nothing this end - unless Carl took you off - but he just said he can't remember deleting anything.
I tend not to have the speakers on & I REALLY DON'T spend all day on here. LOL
I thought surgery was the only answer too LOL. Disappearing totally in 3 weeks! OMG! - they were defo there when the scan was done & still growing - as I'd had another scan about 6 months before.
The work we did we hoped would make the op. easier. I can't begin to explain how gobsmacked I was when we were FINALLY shown the laperoscopy pictures of a totally empty womb. I REALLY wished I'd worked on myself sooner BUT as I said - we help others BUT are a bit lazy when it comes to working on ourselves. A lesson learned!
-
Ive had this op and personally i'd have it in the uk
-
Where did you have it done? I suspect you had it done in the UK. I was hoping to get it done here, so was looking for someone with personal experience of Doctors here.
I hope you found it to be the answer to your problems. Any regrets?
-
ok this is a bit much for us guys :-\
may I suggest the chat womb:D ;)
-
ROFL, nice one.
-
Rindaloo feel free to try & add me again on yahoo. Carl on 2nd thoughts - he said he might have deleted - LOL - we often get people trying to add us on BUT we didn't know anyone was trying to do it from here. We get a LOT of strange people from our website.
Sunday for us is family & friends in US day - we spend hours on phone & both tend to get talked out. I'd be happy to help you with the EFT however any other day - send me an email.
Tinx - next topic - Prostate - OK?

Oh Bum!:D ;)

I'll get the gloves and vaseline....... BenDover!

Thought this might make you all smile a bit, it made lots of us smile when it happened.:D
When I worked in the lab - many moons ago, we had a glasswasher there who we all thought was a bit of a hypochondriac. She was ALWAYS having time off with her health & then letting drop where she'd been - when she was too ill to be anywhere.
One of the lads in the lab Pete - a right wind up merchant & one hell of a laugh - was complaining & swearing he had 'prostate problems'. OOh said Renee (the lady in question) I've got that too - really bad!
I swear the whole 1,200 factory workforce was informed by Pete that Renee had prostate problems. She had most of them coming up to her & sympathising. I don't think she ever realised what a 'prostate problem' was, as at, every opportunity - due to the sympathy she was getting - she complained of her prostate.:D: :):D
I do wonder if anyone ever told her what it was? - She left to move to Australia a few years later. I wonder what the aussies thought of her problem? I can imagine some of their comments!:D
-
:D(http://forums.mbworld.org/forums/images/smilies/rofl.gif):D
Oh priceless!!!!!
-
Carl is on the phone - so I'll tell you the best bit now.
Renee actually went to her doctor & told him she thought she had prostate problems. The doctor told her 'I don't think so Mrs ....., I think we can rule that one out!' I bet he had a quiet chuckle later.
She came back & told us all that - of course we all nearly fell on the floor laughing & had to leave the room because our tears of laughter would have given the game away.
Pete (master of deadpan) was heard telling her as we left 'Maybe you need to get a second opinion on that Renee?' For myself & the others it was the last straw - as you can well imagine.
-
OMG, at least she should do her research before she takes up the art of Hypochondria. I wonder if she was ever cured of this tricky illness?
(By that I mean the prostate) She probably discovered she had 2. ;)

Hi Rindaloo. Sorry I do not know about any of the doctors in Turkey but I too am awaiting to have the same op, like you not mine is not urgent but I may possibly be having it in the Autumn at some point. I have three friends who have all had it done in the last year and everyone of them says they feel like a new woman after not one of them has any regrets what so ever.(one was home within three days!)
If you decide to go ahead with yours in Turkey would you mind updating on here just that I have been messed around rather a lot in the UK regarding the op, and would be very interested in knowing cost etc for Turkey I have been thinking for some while about having it done in Turkey. Hope you come to a descision soon and find a good doctor out there.
Kind regards
Karen

Dear Rindaloo,
First I must say I sympathise with your problem. It must be very hard to put your trust in a hospital after hearing so many varied reports.
Secondly, I must tell you about my partner and her experience of the Esnaf. In 2001 she broke her leg in three places after some bright individual thought to throw her in the pool but missed completely throwing her on to the pool surround. Ten days in Esnaf after an operation to plate and bolt her shattered leg. Upon our return to the UK the follow ups at our local hospital said she would be in plaster for 8-10 weeks. She was driving her car and walking around after 5 weeks. Very impressive surgery and hardly a scar to see from an eight inch wound. Now that we live here, Esnaf, we go nowhere else. Staff brilliant, consultants and nurses, very caring. But it is your choice!
