Happy Birthday HysterSisters! My mom passed away about 10 years ago. Having found this site has felt like a wondeful "mom" hug to me. Happy 12th birthday and may you have many many more!

((((Hugs Back to you all!))))

Celebrating with you all!
So glad to participate in the forums b/c it allows me the opportunity to chat with those who've "been there."
There's just something about women coming together to share their experiences. Such a supportive arm this group has been!
Carry on...!

Happy Birthday, HysterSisters!!

I love that no question is too silly or stupid - everyone here has 'been there' at some point, and is incredibly supportive in helping everyone else along the path to wellness.

What I love about HysterSisters..I found this site not to lomg ago but I feel I can ask anything and someone has been there no matter what it is I can speak openly here more so then with the people in my life it just gives me a feeling of comfort knowing I'm not alone and no matter if it's about feelings or physical condition there is support here and being here has made the last few weeks leading up to my surgery easier I probably would have completely freaked by now Thank You to all the amazing women here

Happy Birthday! What I love about hystersisters....Hmmmmm....Well, I have not had a hysterectomy yet, but I know my time is soon to come as my treatment options are running out fast. But, I actually WANT the surgery because I am sick of being in pain. I love how supportive this place is, how there is a board specifically for Endometriosis (which is why I will be getting my uterus out, to put an end to the horrific periods) I know that when it's my time to go to the castle, I will be well prepared!!!!!

I love that Hystersisters is ALWAYS there for me. Hystersisters feels like a wise friend or a sister who never leaves my side. Thank you for this site, thank you to every woman on here who helps make this site so supportive!

I was encouraged to go to HysterSisters by my Dr. What a blessing this site has been. I had information before, during and after my surgery. When I wondered if something that I was feeling was "just me"~I checked out the website and found other "sisters" in the same situation. This is my 6 month mark...and I have much to be thankful for. Is the added weight bothering me~yes....but I am living without the monthly loss of days due to what my periods brought. Thank you HysterSisters for being a community that supports!

HI Hyster Sisters!!
I am fast approaching my 1 year anniversary post-op and have enjoyed Hyster Sister. The main thing I love about Hyster Sisters is the information that I have learned from this site. Even though I am a nurse, this site offered me information which I had not know as well as bringing up topics which I was embarassed too discuss with my MD ( a Man). Thank you again Hyster Sisters. Happy Birthday and keep up the good work!!!!
