Thanks for sharing your experience, I can assure you it won't be made to "disappear." Every citizen in this country should have health insurance available to them at a reasonable cost. I hope things will be looking up for you soon.

Regret or Rejoice Having Hysterectomy?
Definately rejoice!!! I am officially on my 2nd anniversary today, and if I had to choose, I would have it again. The recovery was hard, but it was worth being able to have a regular life again

Having it wasn't a choice I had in the 1st place, so I regret it. Maybe I would have chosen to do it in a couple of years because of the pain. There's things that I am missing and new things I am worrying about.

Regret or Rejoice Having Hysterectomy?
I would not in a million years have chosen to have a hysterectomy had there been any way to avoid it. But now that it is over and done with, I am very satisfied with how it has turned out so far. My six week checkup was yesterday, and I feel so much better already than I did those last few weeks before surgery. I can't believe how much I was against having it done.

I was against it, and still am but I got everything taken out and was only 26. I think keeping the ovaries can make a big difference as it seems that many of the people that are for the surgery got to keep one or both of them.

At first I regreted it, mostly because like some others, I was not given an option, and I had one complication after another, and a second op due to major infection, and now have adhesive disease which will result in more surgeries down the line. But aside from all that, for the first time in my life, sex is great, no pain, I have achieved multiple big O's , and my surgeries have brought me and hubby closer together, he has been an absulute gem during this ordeal, and I am blessed to have him. Ahd I have not had to worry about bleeding for 3 weeks straight and the horrific cramps. so now I am rejoicing!

Regret or Rejoice Having Hysterectomy?
I am happy I had it done,
I had a pretty severe uterine prolapse, prolateral, anterior work needed to be done. (I think I got that right) and while I might have been able to lie down or "take it easy" according to my mom, I would not have had any type of quality of life. I was very active before the prolapse, I played and ran and jumped and exercised, lifted weights, lifted grandson, danced etc. I could not see the rest of my life having to take it easy.
So I am happy I had it done.
I also had no insurance and I do not work and my dh made just a couple of hundred dollors too much to qualify for aid. We owe hospital 24,000 dollars for two days in hospital, and my surgeon cut his bill in half and we owe him 600. We have paid off the anesthiseologist (sp) and all lab work that was done. We will pay on it the rest of our lives. But we will be ok. I have faith in a God that will not let me down.
