I had it done in July of this year, I am 29 years of age and had bad Crohn's flare ups during my cycle. I wanted to have it done and am glade I did. I healed up great and went back to work 3 weeks later. Would have been two but then I got strep throat. My mother in law had it done and she has MS too. She says it was one of the best things she's done. Everybodies different and things can go wrong but thats were we hope and pray things will work out.

Thanks for your input....you would have gone back to work in 2 weeks? WOW. May I ask what method they did the hyster with that the recovery was so short?? Im being told with a laproscopic assisted, possibly 3 weeks...

Sorry to hear that you guys both suffer from autoimmune diseases too. You have my sympathy.

I had a hysterectomy back when I was 30 and at the same time they did a laproscopy surgery on me because I had endometreosis and it took me about 7 weeks before I could go back to work and then I pulled my stitches out and was put on light duty work for another 2 weeks. It hurt me like hell, but like you said everyone is different...I do regret having mine at times because I wanted another child and now I will never have that chance. I can not imagine anyone going back to work after just 2 or 3 weeks. You sure are a brave strong person to be able to handle going back to work that quick. What type of work do you do and what type of procedure did they do on you for it to heal that fast? Good luck...

I teach and take care of infants and 2 year olds. I had a laparoscopic hysterectomy. I did have back pain for a few weeks, but I needed to work.

i had a vaginal hysterectomy and it was the best thing I could have done. I had pain, heavy bleeding, ect. I have had no problems since and to boot no more periods. it took me about two weeks to fully recover and about six months for you body to accept the fact your uterus is gone. You will have light monthly cramping like you had when you had a period about 3 months and then nothing. Best choice I ever made.
