Carol,
I had a haemorrhaghing problem that left me so weak and tired that I sought help - far later than I should really. I had a hysterectomy at 38. They also removed one ovary as it was polycystic. I have not got more of a weight problem than I had before, infact I a stone lighter. I feel so much better and have heaps more energy. I had a hormonal blip after about 3 days for 24 hours and experienced premature menopause about 4 months after surgery, but not insufferable to get through. My husband is delighted with the new me - no more monthly mood swings ( I'm nasty all the time now LOL) and sex is good too! I found it good for me, but everybody is different. I wish you well whatever you decide and send you kind thoughts to get through it your way, to a successful conclusion.
