Hi Brenda:

I am so sorry you've been having such a rough time. I did really well for the first 4-weeks post-op and then BAM, depression city. Each day is getting a little better though, so hopefully yours will improve soon.

I trust you will have a wonderful time in Mexico. I can't imagine your doctor telling you that you can't go. Several other sisters on this thread have done some travelling several weeks post-op, and have said it's made a tremendous difference in their overall well being. :

I had a TVH on 2/29/08 and also kept my ovaries. They are tricky little suckers, doing what they please, when they please. I've already experienced my first cycle of PMS (without the bleeding). However, I believe we are much better off than some women who had their ovaries removed. Many are dealing with horrible menopause symptoms, and some are unable to do HRT.

So, onward and upward from here. It's nice to hear that you've been happily married for 23 years. I'm on my second marriage, and have been happily married for 2 years.

You in there. Things will get better.

s,

thank you soooooo much for your words of encouragement! I will have a margarita or two for you!!!! I had open heart five years ago and my hubby did the same thing for me - took me to Mexic0!! i love it there! You are right it does do alot for you and i only wish that I could take all of you hystersisters with me! Maybe next time!! LOL

I'm so sorry you're experiencing this at the moment, but you're certainly not alone and I hope some more of your ((sisters)) will be along soon to share.

In the meantime, it may help you to read these HS articles <links> Depression after Hysterectomy and Emotions after Hysterectomy.

If you find things don't improve, please don't hesitate to have a word with your doctor.

Sending all good wishes and positive thoughts your way!
