I had my hysterectomy in 1999 and it was the best decision I ever made for myself. I only sayed overnight in the hospital (that was the worst part because my roommate was older and moaned all night so I couldn't wait to leave). I was off work for 6 weeks to recover but once I got the go ahead from the doctor I was back to my normal routine again. I have no decrease in sex drive, if anything I desire it more because I have no fear of pregnancy so whenever, where ever is my motto now. I had the surgery done through incisions in my stomach and belly button so not huge scares. I opted to have my ovaries removed too because I had cysts and thought I would probably end up having them removed down the road because of the pain from the cysts. Great decision but I do use the estrogen patch weekly that helps so much. One thing I do daily take Vitamin E for the hot flashes...someone told me about this and I started right away and have NEVER had one hot flash. I've recommened this to others who tell me they have terrible hot flashes. Just a suggestion! It's going to go well and you'll be happy once it's over and done with and the worst is behind you. I would do it again in a New York minute!! Just take care of yourself and ask for assistance if you need it and by all means take the pain pills they give you because you'll need them at first for the pain.......

It's not an operation i would recommend unless u really need one....I had a total hysterectomy 4yrs ago, they left my ovaries so i dnt get the hot flushed & i still ovulate every month......so aft the inital 6wks recovery life goes. It doesn't affect the sex drive @ all ( my hubby thinks it great) u just cnt use the excuse any more it's that tym of the month lol. Every woman is different so it can take longer to recover & expect to b in hospital 4 @ least 5-7 days.

Life after is like life before, the changes are very personal.
End of menstruation brings hot flashes, dryness of the skin and vagina. Some get bladder infections. Weight must be watched. So eat wisely and healthy, do exercise moderately and enjoy life, you got rid of the menstruation and everything else is open for you.

If you are talking right after the surgery (pain is the appropriate word) After all healed up you feel a lot better except that you have managed to gain weight.
