[QUOTE="trinityroyal, post: 186769, member: 3907"] Star, I haven't had the hysterectomy, but when I was 30 I had 2 (HUGE, and thankfully benign) tumours removed from my uterus. The surgery was equivalent to the sort of thing they'd do for a hysterectomy, and the recovery was about the same. I was given 6 weeks of short-term disability leave from work. After the first couple of days I was up and around, when they took out the surgical staples (you should see the lovely zipper I have down my front!) I was even more mobile. By the end of week 2 I was champing at the bit to get out and do things. My doctor warned me that I might split my internal stitches open and rupture my sewn-back-together uterus if I did, so I behaved. If you're having your gubbins taken out, then this won't be an issue for you...if you tend to be a quick healer, then you might only need 2 or 3 weeks, but I would say that you'll definitly want to give yourself at least 3 weeks to make sure that nothing busts loose inside you once you're done. Mstang, they had to put me on the Satan Shots prior to my surgery, so I've been there too and it's not pretty. I would think that having the whole McGilla taken out now would be my preference. And I would try to do without the HRT too if I could manage. There are herbs and supplements and things that might help. Just my 2 cents, and NOT from experience. Trinity [/QUOTE]
