I had mine almost 2 years ago. Best thing I ever did. Lost 20 pounds and still losing. Feel great. I had severe endometriosis and had everything removed.

Recovery was fine - I was 5 weeks out of work. I did a lot of walking in that time. As for biking - I wasn't a rider before the surgery. But bought my Trek hybrid that summer after surgery - because I could and I felt so great! Started commuting on my bike. I just ordered a road bike today and am planning on the STP this summer!

Anyway, all the other advice you got is great. Don't push too hard, listen to your body. Don't be afraid to ask lots of questions of your Dr. if you don't understand what's going on. My doc still chuckles at what a hard time I gave him but in then end I'm glad I did. I made the right choices for me in terms of surgery vs other treatments. And HRT afterwards. No regrets.
