I had an total abdomenal hysterectomy six years ago, and found Hyster Sisters to be very helpful. You may be able to have a laproscopic hyst, if that's what you're asking about. Recovery time is quicker for women who have vaginal hysterectomies, and I think for those who have them laproscopically as well. I also had fibroids

Good luck..

I had total hysterectomy for fibroids about 15 years ago, I have learned over the years that fibroids usually shrink on their on as you get older and stop producing as much estrogen. I have a friend who was told she needed a hysterectomy. I told her to check out some alternative treatments first and she ended up using a prescription progesterone cream which helped shrink her fibroid tumors and didn't need surgery. Hystersisters and Familypharmacy.net have tons of information. Sorry to be so blunt, but I wish I knew all of this before my hysterectomy. Your uterus has a lot of nerves in it and without it your sex life will be different. I have been using a compounded estrogen/progesterone/testosterone gel for about three years now and feel a lot better now.

No thank you.

That's probably the only organ in this body of mine that functions/ed satisfactorily.

Closed up shop here about 2-3 years ago after producing 3 exceptionally healthy and beautiful children.

But -

Before anyone gets the snip-snip, there are studies on how LBS has eradicated poly-cystic ovarian disease.

I want to look into this a bit closer in several years as my daughter has "dreadful" poly-cystic ovaries (and she's a size 2 - so obviously isn't a LBS candidate ). But hopefully more research will be done about how this reversal of cyst formations actually happens.

Here's a video of one woman's experience with LBS and pregnancy -
