Hi ~ I had a COMPLETE hysterectomy, which meant taking the ovaries AND the Cervix too. They did all this thru the vagina! They didn't have to go thru the abdominal wall at all! I was so happy!

I had NO problems at all. NONE. But I did have to go on hormonal supplements, and I had to trouble with that either. I was on them for 10 years too!!! I had my hysterectomy when I was 43, and I stopped taking the hormones when I was 53. No hot flashes, no nothing. It was wonderful. I never felt so good in my life, because I was always so anemic from HORRENDOUS blood flow.

I had fibroid tumors in the uterus, plus they would wrapped around the ovaries too. So that was causing all the terrible blood flow. Thank God I had the surgery!!! I'd probably still be bleeding now, and I'm 63 yrs old.

Don't worry about the surgery. Are they going to do it thru the vagina? I hope so. It's much easier that way. God bless & let us know how you do. Hugs, Lee
