[QUOTE="Nomad, post: 186786"] Hi Star... I know someone who kept her ovaries and didn't have as many hormanal issues. I guess that might be expected. Recovery seemed more or less okay...about as can be expected. However, with the ovaries in, I think there is always a need for testing...esp. if cancer is a concern. I have another friend who did a complete hysterectomy. She was in bed a little longer, had more hormonal issues and a little more trouble with weight gain immediately afterwards. She is doing more regular exercise now and that is helping. I'm sorry that you need to have some sort of surgery. If you have the time and energy, don't hesitate to get a second opinion. One more thing...there is that really great lady doctor that often appears on Oprah (can't think of her name at the moment). I have heard her say often that it takes mucho time after this operation to fully recuperate. You will have to fully rest physically and emotionally. I would NOT do this surgery unless you have a plan in place for a decent recuperation and supportive/understanding folks afterwards who will understand your needs. Best wishes and hugs. p.s. That site Janet recommended is excellent: hystersisters.com [/QUOTE]
