[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I had a partial hysterectomy (still have ovaries and cervix) due to fibroids and other issues and I only wish I had done it earlier. I felt like a new woman after. It's been great not having to deal with the frequent debilitating pain, the excessive bleeding, or the extreme bloating. No regrets at all.[/quote]

This is my story as well... except I had the cervix removed with the uterus.  Wasn't that bad of a process.  Definitely get a laprascopic hysterectomy if you have it done.  Run away from any doctor who says "I only do the traditional vertical cuts b/c they are faster."

This is so true. My first doctor who told me I had fibroids ( after I told him I thought I did them the year before) told me he could only do it with big incision. Got my records that day and left his office and never went back. Went to see Richard Beckerman and he did it laparoscopic and did great job. He did warn me that it would be possible and that he would do his very best not to do the big incision but that it was possible cause my fibroids were huge (size of 20 wk pregnancy). But he got the job done with out making the big incision.[/quote]
