T.F.
In 2002, this was an option my Dr gave me. One of the reasons I did not do it was because he said chances were high that it would have to be done again. I'm not one to repeat any kind of procedures unless necessary. I was sick and tired of procedures and I wanted to be done.
I opted for a full hysterectomy (ovaries and EVERYTHING). I was 41 at the time. This was the BEST decision I ever made. I have been healthier, happier and all over positive from my surgery. I would make my choice again in a heartbeat.
My family was complete when I made my choice. I have a wonderful daughter and a hubby so this was the right choice for me. The hormone patch is working wonderfully. I am on the same low dose I was given when I was at the hospital in 2002. My only "side effect" has been my boobs grew about 3 cup sizes and I am loving that!!! I am 5'4", about 116#, and 34DD boobs.
My sister in law, had the Ablation about 2 yrs ago and she is happy with her decision.
Good luck,
Susan
