[quote=Anonymous]I had one almost three years ago - experience was largely the same as above, but my operation was early afternoon and I stayed in the hospital overnight, which I needed. The pain wasn't so bad, but I was extremely nauseous and the IV Zofran actually induced vomiting. My Dr. was fairly insistent that I take it easy for 8 weeks and I did. I think I took 4-5 days off of work and then went back 1/2 days for a couple more days. As far as menopause effects - I was probably right at menopause and was already on the estrogen patch. I don't have a history of breast cancer, but what I had was a mucosal uterine tumor. My Dr. was fine with me staying on the estrogen patch and I also use topical estrogen. The vaginal dryness was awful. Also, it took some time for the incision in my vagina to heal. It wasn't a hard recovery, but the effects of the surgery were noticeable.[/quote]
