No Date: Going to get scheduled next week

My doctor wants to do a full hysterectomy. I'm scared to death. Having an ovary removed a few years ago was absolutely miserable. I'm not sure what to expect post op. Because I haven't had children yet, I'm also concerned about depression afterwards.

Did you get a second opinion? Hopefully, you get some comfort here, knowing you are not alone.I wish you the best.

and welcome to HysterSisters!

You don't mention what your surgery might be for, but I agree to check all options and get a second opinion. Check out our sister site, Give Me a Second.

One of my favorite resources available here is the free What 350,000 Women Know About Hysterectomy. It takes you from where you are now, pre-op, and takes you through getting a second opinion; if a hysterectomy is the best option, it gives you a general idea of what to expect.

No matter what you decide, we're here to support you. Don't hesitate to ask questions of your doctor, and feel free share your questions and concerns with us.
