Hysterectomy - Problems after?

I just had one too at 72 as they thought I had Ovarian cancer but it turned out to be Low-grade appendiceal mucinous neoplasm (LAMN). My spleen and appendix came out. A long cut through my belly.
I am reading that one ages much faster if the Ovaries come out. Not looking forward to that or if there is anything to be done.

Otherwise, my recovery was pretty easy. 5 days in the hosp as I keep vomiting after the pills. No pain and stopped the oxycodone after 3 days. Then just Tylenol. I could tell it was there but no pain. No bleeding. I was really tired and took a lot of naps. Had PT to show me how to get in & out of bed & walking. 4 wks now and feeling better every day.
Let us know how it goes for you. All the best.

Wow, I know nothing yet. My husband and I are both going to the pre op appointment Tuesday to ask a bunch of questions. I'm a colon cancer survivor already so, there is always that scare. They will probably take everything to eliminate the potential. They are doing it with robotics and out patient. I won't stay in the hospital at all. I like that idea. 🙂 Thanks for your feedback and good luck wishes. 🙂

As far as aging faster, yes if you are not using bioidentical hormone replacement.
PBS documentary called The M Factor is an excellent resource.
