Hi Lynette,
I wish you the best of luck. I am now 9 months post-op from my hyst. I
have had no regrets at all. While I still have one ovary and yes - I
still have pcos, I feel just great now. I had my surgery due to having
signs of endo. cancer in the early stages. I am completely fine now! I
would suggest that you visit another site - http://www.hystersisters.com I
visited there before and after my surgery and they "sisters" are great!
While many don't agree that going under the "knife" is the right thing
to do - each of us needs to make informed decisions for our own bodies.
I did go for a second opinion - with my repro. endo. and she agreed
that this was the best way to go.
If you don't mind me asking - which form of hyster are you having and
are you going to keep the other ovary? Just curious!
Hang in there - it will turn out just fine - I'll keep you in my
prayers.
