Great group!!!! I am 23 years old and 1 week 3 days post op from a hysterectomy. After suffering excruciating pain due to endometriosis i had to resort to removal of my uterus to quell the pain (if only a little) its still too soon to tell if it has worked but I am crossing my fingers and counting my stars!!!! I just want my life back.... While it was my choice ( i begged a reluctant doctor) to have the surgery I still feel as though i am too young to be going through this as i wouldnt be here right now if it werent for that stupid endometriosis. I had not had a chance to have my own bio chldren and wasnt planning to...i know that someday that might change but i know i will never regret taking my life back. I always wanted to foster kids in need tho! I think this is a great group and look forward to seeing more posts!
