Hi, Mrs. 901
Avlimil is a product used to help enhance libido. Some women are helped by it and others are not. According to the instructions, it has to be taken daily for many weeks to get optimal results. If you would like to read more about how women do on Avlimil, you can read previous discussions by clicking this link for the search I did for you: Search results for Avlimil.
Is your doctor suggesting this in lieu of hormones for after your surgery, or is this just for now? If you will be able to use hormone therapy, there are lots of choices! You can read about them in articles #9 - 12 in the Hormone Article List.
I didn't have an epidural when I had my TAH/BSO and I did have a breathing tube which was put in place after I was asleep and removed before I was fully awake.
It's great that you found this site before your surgery! I hope that spending time here will help ease any fears you have.
Best wishes to you!!
