I really don’t know where to start. Dr Theo Manias. You are amazing. I have suffered with so many problems since being the age of 21 (now 29) I was fobbed off by someone else for years, I followed all of the advice given to me and my symptoms were getting worse, because of my age i was told there’s nothing wrong with me and because I also had children again nothing was wrong with me and it was in my head. Years went by still hemorrhaging, in agony, and again getting worse. I was admitted into hospital when I was away with my children after loosing a lot of blood and couldn’t walk with the pain I discharged myself due to being away from home and just wanting to go home. I then got a phone call from Dr Manias introducing himself as my new consultant and him wanting to meet me (I was very abrupt with him) because I felt as if my lady doctor doesn’t understand so why would him? I ended up going to meet him and straight away I just got kind warm good vibes he was so reassuring, he explained so much to me he even apologized about what I have gone through and how it shouldn’t of been left this long. We then went on for me to have a laparoscopy last January and again he’s just such a gentle kind person he put me at so much ease along with his team as I’ve never had an operation before. When I was woken up Dr manias was there and actually confirmed I have endometriosis and something wrong with my uterus. I have then had a few follow ups with a couple of options and also spoke about a hysterectomy but keeping my ovaries because of my age. We went through so much and also talked about injections which he also told me to research everything about them even though we spoke about them, he just wanted me to be 100% before I made a decision. After a few months my symptoms came back but worse and infact I collapsed in my salon December just gone and was rushed into hospital after hemorrhaging and on the floor with the worst pain I have ever had in my life I was so poorly this day. I was kept in hospital and again it was confirmed that I had a major flare up and actually lost a huge blood clot and my body went into shock and that’s reason I collapsed. Once discharged I had a follow 3 weeks later with Dr manias in the January to discuss what’s next, it was time and I made the decision to go ahead with the hysterectomy, he wanted me to be 100% certain which I was, I was blessed with 3 beautiful children in teens/ early 20s and knew I didn’t want anymore. I said please just let me have my life back I can’t carry on with this anymore it’s life limiting I can’t do it and that’s what he’s done. He wants the best outcome for his patients. I had a laparoscopy hysterectomy last Friday, dr manias and his team were just amazing, each and everyone who was in my operation were just the nicest people ever. They made me the best I could have felt at that moment. I was so so nervous I felt sick I didn’t have a clue what I was in for but they looked after me so much and they all talk so so highly of Dr manias too. I was then discharged 2 days later and I’m recovering well at home. Don’t get me wrong it’s been very painful but I’m definitely bouncing back slowly but surely. I have been to have my catheter out today and as I was stood at Starbucks ordering my drink.. guess who was behind me ordering a flat white
