    Had it done 6 years ago and never looked back. The most painful but was the injection in my tummy to increase the growth of the womb lining - to make it easier to remove. I varelky have a period now and never use towels/tampons. A panty liner does. i alsways say that by the time i know i have my period it is finished! :) I am now 40 so it was done at 34 (2001).

    Well had the ops 2 days ago and came out of hospital yesterday.All went well and no complications at all.Feeling very tired and drained at the mo and all i am wanting to do is sleep.
    Got some cramping and sharp period like pains but painkillers are helping.Also very light spotting of blood and clear fluids but not as much as i imagined i would get(sorry if that was TMI)
    Definetly will be taking it easy for the next week or so.
    Hope your keeping ok Shykins after your op.

    Well its day 8 post op and i am still feeling a little sore and achy.Cramping is minimal but seems to be worse at night.
    I still feel very tired by mid afternoon,but still taking it easy(not that i have a choice as energy levels are about zero)
    (Sorry if this is TMI)Discharge is light but of varying colours.
    Hopefully the next week will be better for me and i can start getting back to a normal life again.
    How are you doing Shykins?Is everything ok?

    Hope everyone is feeling well again.

    Shame about the gallstones - I wonder if the anestetic or painkillers may have triggered it off? Something similar happened to me when I had a cyst years ago.

    Good luck and take care

    Sorry to hear you had to go back to hospital and have to have your gallbladder removed.
    You take very good care of yourself x

    thanks for the good wishes claudie and sloppy

    claudie my understanding is u are predisposed to gallstones so u will pretty much get them whatever u do if u have that predisposition... factors are female, fat, forty and fair.. that pretty much covers me tho i have lost a lot of weight now (which is another factor lol). oh well roll on its removal

    sloppy sorry to hear about yr infection hope its going now.. i am pleased to say my discharge has now stopped.. u be careful u arent overdoing it
