The time has come!

Good luck with your surgery Kimberly...as everyone said, you will LOVE not having a period anymore. I had mine right before I turned 30. I had cancer of the cerevix that had begun to spread into the uterus & was given a week to prepare for surgery. I can never preach enough to my friends how important regular paps are. Although mine had moved past the 'pre' & into the 'actual' cancer, it was so early that the surgery alone got rid of it. I hate to think that had I waited for my pap that I may have had to have radiation or anything yucky like that.

I think the results vary from person to person, but I will share my outcome.

I did gain weight.....but that may also be the age thing, being in my 30's now. I always weighed about 125 & now its usually around 132-134. Oh well

Sex, not a problem. The 'O''s are the same as ever. It was scary to have sex the first few times, but all was o.k.

Recovery- mine was minimal. I was able to have the surgery vaginally, which has a lesser recovery time. I was out of the hospital in 3 days & back to work the next week. I wasn't supposed to work so soon, but I work for a family business & I literally sat on my butt. I was always given the option to leave if I wanted to, but you know how us women are!! Energy was definately lacking though & I would go home & be done for the night. Pizza anyone??

Ghost cramps - still have these once in a while. But they aren't so bad when you don't have the rest with it!!

I wish you the best. I'm confident that you will be pleased with the outcome. Feel free to ask any questions at all, I'm not at all shy & would be happy to share. I guess that's obvious by the length of my post! Sorry to blab so much
