I'm Sending My Gynocologist a Present!

It's been a while since I've updated anyone who is interested in my post-op hysterectomy progress. I had my laproscopic supracervical hysterectomy in mid June of this year. Things have never been better. I kept waiting for the monthly restarting of "trouble" that the forums warned me about, recurring pain, or some other "trouble"...and there's been....nothing! No trouble at all! No pain, no flows, nothing at all! I could not be happier! I truly plan on a sending some sort of gift to the doctor this year to thank them all. I was really worried about doing surgery and had lived for years with nightmarish bleeding and pain. I had anemia and little energy - well things are happy! Please feel free to email me if you need my doctor's name or information.

Stacy, I have just had my laproscopic hysterectomy three days ago. I too am amazed at the recovery. Other than feeling tired from going under, I am expereiencing very little discomfort. I have waited 15 years to have this surgery. 7 laporscopicies, 2 chemical induced menapauses and 2 beautiful children later.. here I am, recovering from my surgery. I do not know what lies ahead as I am now on an estrogen patch. I too am sending my doctor a present. he is the most compassionate, understanding doctor I have met.. and I had the opportunity to meet a lot of them! Glad to hear you are doing well. If there is anyone out there who is on the estro patch, i would like to hear from you. Suzanne
