Question for women who have had a hysterectomy...?

I had my operation 10 years ago when i was 39, ive never looked back since, depending on what operation you have will determine how quickly you recover, if you have a stomach cut it will take a lot longer than a l operation, i had l, i was up and about as soon as the anaesthetic wore off, i still had my drips and drainage bag attached, i felt great had no pain at all, i do have a good pain threshold, next day i was in the shower all drips removed, you have to take into account if you are having a full hysterectomy, or part, meaning leaving ovaries or cervix, a lot of women will get counselling before this op because you need all the support you can get, i was all for it but being a women who didn't want any more children, a dread came over me to think i will never be able to have anymore children, sounds weird i know, but its a natural Instinct, not all women will feel this way, just be aware it might happen to you, your health is whats important and you do whats right for you, i was home really quickly and took it easy for about a week, after that i felt a new lease of life, my only warning would be, at some point during your recuperation, you will hit a brick wall where you feel really tired, weak and want to sleep, that's quite normal, its the body getting better and telling you rest, i had very little bleeding lly, everyone is different don't forget, you will know your limits, take it easy and you will be ok, hope this has helped you understand a little more, good luck to you and your new found lease of life.x Let me know how you got on.
