7 years later, no regrets

Just wanted to check in. I found this site invaluable when I had my VagHystx & Birch procedure (bladder tie up). I wanted to let all of you know that I have no regrets & would do it again in a heart beat. 7 years later, things are working properly with no changes in my left (except increased $$ from not buying Kotex!). I would caution those who do have hystx to watch their weight post op...mine kept creeping up over the years (about 1# a year)...it's all belly fat & very difficult to get rid of. Also, try to maintain you core muscles, they tend to get "lax" afterwards. Sometimes I wonder if my "bowels" have dropped into the area where my uterus was!! Anyway, you will recover, it is sometimes slower than expected but be patient & take care of yourself. Good Luck to all who are considering a Hystx or have had one...you will never regret it!!

Hi spitfire99!

Thanks for checking in. It sounds like your post-hyst life is treating you well. I hope that the years ahead just keep getting better and better for you.

Many s and Best Wishes Always,

Dear spitfire99 I was very happy to read your post, thank you. I'm almost 3 yrs post op and I'm very keen to hear how ladies are getting on the further away from their op they get.
Congratulations to you and all the best to you and your loved ones.
Love and peace

Wow -- almost 7 years!

Thanks for checking in with us. I have to agree with you on the weight issue. I am finally doing something about my weight (which has been a problem for years). However, I don't find that mine is MORE of a problem since my hysterectomy because I'm exercising along with the diet restrictions.

to you.
