Jean , I'm hardly a seasoned pro being one week out from
lavh/bso and feeling at least 90%.  The good thing is I can
now sleep on my stomach which I haven't done for a long
time.  Also, I think I have fewer hot flashes than while on
lupron for 3 months.  I feel great mentally and am anxious
to get into an exercise program.  I couldn't agree more about this site as I educated myself with info. from many and my doc's office.  I went into surgery knowing what was
going to happen and based on reading the posts I also knew what would be happening when I awoke.  Things like
those jazzy inflatable stockings on the legs were a real charge.  I felt like I was wearing tires!  No kidding  - I
believe that overcoming fear of the unknown through
education and having a positive attitude made all the
difference.
