Hello, my name is Valerie and I have two beautiful children. I underwent a hysterectomy and TT last Friday, so I'm one week post-op. I am having so much depression and sadness over what I have done. I have good "moments" and then I just start feeling horrible about my decision and wonder if I did the right thing and if I'll ever feel like "myself" again. My pain is "tolerable" but I can't stand to look at my stomach right now and I hate how "tight" it feels. I'm actually missing my flap of extra skin that was my comfort zone for the last 13 years. I have been doing a lot of praying and telling myself I need to stay positive, but it's very hard. I have contemplated this surgery for years and finally decided to do it with the hysterectomy. I wake up with sweats, and I have had an elevated slight fever, but my PS said that is normal and my body is going through a lot of changes right now (I did keep my ovaries, so I don't believe it has to do with the hysterectomy but don't know for sure). I have been getting up and walking a couple times a day, but just feel so weak and lifeless right now. That is definately not helping my depression. I just wish I knew that I would/will feel like myself in the coming weeks. Has anyone else felt like this or feeling like this right now? I'm so glad I found this website. I have been reading a lot and I hope I can some support/friendship throughout this. God bless - Valerie
