I had a hysterectomy over 16 years ago due to my being anemic after every period , I actually had a note from my doctor explaining why I would miss 2-3 days a month , I literally could not leave my house. I needed numerous blood transfusions it was so bad

Was the best thing in the world for me.

It's major surgery but to be honest just knowing I would never go through monthly hell reminded me that this surgery pain will heal up.

I was off work for 4 weeks no lifting over 5 lbs and I had a desk job so I went back half days for a week.

I also had my bladder tacked up a bit is what my surgeon told me, that was a huge help too.

One thing he did make sure I knew was to get up and walk walk walk and standing straight up, no bent over at all.
