Im 46 and had my hysterectomy in 2001. The doctor left my ovaries in hope to keep me from menopause at the time. Surgery went fine, pain was for the most part controlled from pain meds. My ovaries basically never woke up from surgery, My doctor said they must have gone on vacation.. I tried meds to combat the hot flashes and all that fun fun stuff. The meds really didnt help and I wasnt will to take the risk of meds. The best advice I can give you is get up as soon as possible after surgery and walk as much as possible and try to stand straight , yes its hard to straighten up.

Good luck .... Oh and , I found a great place for loads of great advice and forums like here but its a hysterectomy support site ..... Hystersisters.com <~~~ Fabulous, It helped me so much!
