While I'm not yet sleeved (April 26th yay!) I can comment on the hysterectomy. Had to have one before my 35th BD and was completely bummed. My mom knew I was upset because I really hadn't decided that I was finished having children but with the hysterectomy looming it was decided for me. She took me aside and said something that made me laugh and helped me immensely -- she said "Honey, look at it this way, the doctor is going to take out the crib and leave the playpen." I'm 56 now so it's been a while and I joke that I was happy to have the hysterectomy because it took the hysterical out of me . To be completely honest, I haven't missed the TOM crap ever. Had I known how great this was, I would have had it done right after my second child was born.

Walking is ok, but you can't overdo it at all. Follow your OB/GYN's instructions to a T.

Good luck to you!

i know because of the size of the uterus that mirena iud and ablation is not an option. ask if continous progesterone pill (provera) is possible for you to temporarily to stop/decrease the amount of heavy bleeding you have with your cycle. that will help build your hemoglobin up for surgery. i don't know all your medical problems so i don't know if you are a candidate for continous birth control pill.

Thanks Mina!

I will discuss that with my Doctor.
