I'm not scared by the :234 site. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to see that it is totally one-sided. There are no stats on the conditions of these ladies to start out and it appears they ONLY used women that had problems for their stats. There will be botched surgeries out there for any condition, but I know many who had botched shoulder surgeries and back surgeries that also ruined their lives. I do not have any friends or relatives who had a botched hysterectomy. If you have a good doctor, this should not happen. I HIGHLY recommend going to a doctor at a university hospital if possible- they are about teaching verses profit. Get references. No one puts a gun to your head to do this. Make an informed decision and take your time. As for me, I'm worse off than the majority of the HUGS women they surveyed- and I HAVEN'T had surgery yet. That's my point. We don't know how these ladies started out. They may just be in a similar state. I've suffered for 8 months now with chronic pain from endometriosis. My doctor has burned it out once and left everything intact. However, endometriosis returns and I've had 3 doctor opinions that the only way to stop it is removing the ovaries (that make the cells that create endometriosis). If I wasn't done having kids, I'd deal with the pain until I did and then get the hysterectomy. I have two healthy little kids that I cannot keep up because of the chronic pain, so I'm totally ready to get on with my life. I have nothing to lose either. I already suffer everyday. I have kids. I have no sex life because sex sets me off into 2 days of gut-wrenching pain. I'm on narcotics just to function and worry about losing my job if I don't function normally. So, I think for some of us, we have no quality of life WITH our organs.
