Birthday Contest August 2010 - What do you love about HysterSisters?

12 years strong! happy birthday!!
drawing strength from the past, gaining hope for the future. that's woman-to-woman, that's hystersisters.com!!

still counting down the ways i love this website...

5. chock-full of facts, terms, explanations, encouragements, discoveries, experiences – search posts for any topic related to female health and learn from those who have been there, done that.

4. hystersisters.com is like having a meaningful support group in my very own living room... or office, bedroom, kitchen, or WHEREVER i am, WHENEVER i need it.

3. hystersisters.com doesn’t censor my LONG replies – wordy-wordy, i sure hope i’ve been able to help anyone who had the stamina to read my wordy's!


2. i’ve been supported by so many generous women – "strangers" as friends, who are available, encouraging, informative, transparent and understanding. ironically, this is more than I can say about local family or friends. hystersisters were there and kept me from feeling like i was facing surgery/recovery alone.

1. hystersisters.com is FREE!! on the other hand, who can resist making a small contribution to keep this fabulous website growing strong?! with LOTS of choices for avatars, smilies and cute badges, it's like you’re getting something back -- as if hystersisters hasn't already given back more than i could ever repay.

happy birthday one last time, hystersisters.com, and many, many thanks for doing a terrific job connecting women all these past 12 years! keep up the good work everyone!

Happy Birthday Hyster Systers!!!
I know its September but I just saw this board and wanted the opportunity to say THANK YOU for all the support and advice I have received since I found this site not that long ago. I have been telling everyone I know about it and they all agree it is a wonderful place for woman like us who have had or will be having a hysterectomy. I love that this site is always "open" for the nights we cant sleep or whenever we have questions. I ordered the hysterectomy booklet and I have to tell you I use this as a constant reference since it has only been 17 days since my TAH.
I wish you you continued success and look forward to participating and helping other woman not feel so anxious and nervous about their procedures.
