Here's my opinion and I'm certainly no doctor. I always overate and drank but kept my weight down to a suitable level by exercise and what seemed like constant dieting. At one point I went in for a hysterectomy. They told me my smoking might cause me serious problems down the line because I had a slight heart condition so I stopped smoking. They found other serious problems and I found myself unemployed. Then I broke up with a very long time bf and started going to college. I do think that the changes to my system is when my diabetes started, when I tipped it over. There I was sitting at a table studying and eating, not working that physically demanding job. My hormones were screaming and I was on some mind bending heart meds. I had all the signs of being prediabetic but didn't realize. I didn't realize about apples and no matter how hard you excercise that tummy just doesn't come off. But I truly believe the shock of the hysterectomy (and/or when I stopped smoking) was the start of it all. I started gaining weight and that cinched it. If I had only know to be more careful. Why didn't doctors tell all apples about diabetes? What's wrong with them? And I believe there is that spot that starts it all and there were a lot of changes that were very hard on me but the hysterectomy and quitting smoking represent the physical part of it. Too much shock to the system. . .
If you ask me a question about something that has been in the back of my mind as unproven, it starts to look like a duck to me.

There is no medical reason to link diabetes to a hysterectomy. There is a possibility of damage to organs in the vecinity of the uterus but if that occurs, the surgeon will know and medication will be prescribed if necessary.
As in all cases when more detailed medical information is required, you would be advised to consult your gynaecologist or your doctor.
Hope this helps

short answer is NO!! that has nothing to do with the functioning of the pancreas. Becoming overweight and sedentary might have something to do with becoming diabetic, but not unless you have family history of diabetes.
when/if you were pregnant did you have gestational diabetes? if yes, then it may come back to haunt you with type 2!!
get really active, jogging, biking, walking, swimming: change your food plan to low carb, and lose any extra inches you have gained since the surgery!!

I can't think of any reason why it should.
