Recovery from hysterectomy (likely uterine-only)?

I must say I'm relieved post-appt to not have the hyst on the table, for now. The PA I saw listened to my symptoms and immediately said that she's certain what I'm dealing with is estrogen dominance as my progesterone levels have dropped. I've suspected this for a long time, too, and at 40 this makes sense. I'll be doing 200mg Prometrium on days 16-25 of my cycles, now. This might help with my weight struggles and water retention/bloating woes, too, which would be bonus!

I had my hysterectomy a few years ago and it was a vaginal surgery. I still have one ovary. I didn't take anything stronger than an 800 mg motrin and tylenol afterwards. I was up and gardening in a few days. I was healed after 3 weeks. I was lucky that she could remove everything vaginally and I didn't have to deal with external stitches.
