A hysterectomy is the surgical removal of the uterus, usually done by a gynecologist. Hysterectomy may be total (removing the body and cervix of the uterus) or partial (also called supra-cervical). In many cases, surgical removal of the ovaries (oophorectomy) is performed concurrent with a hysterectomy. more at Wikipedia

I had mine done laparoscopically... less invasive. It went very well. Already shopping in 5 days, off painkiller after a week and was taking long walks in 10 days.

I have got to say I recovered very well. I went back to work after three weeks as I felt like I just wanted to get back to normal but now I feel lost.

I don't remeber the first day, but the pain wasn't a problem. However, as I said, I am hot almost all the time.
