I had a hysterectomy 18 years ago. I keep seeing period issues as well as hormone issues. I don't get periods or have those wickedly hormonal moments.

What will happen (if anything) when I have surgery? Will I still have hormonal issues? Can I expect to be blissfully happy?

I had a hysterectomy 2 years ago. I had some wicked emotional moments..but they were fleeting. Do you have your ovaries? I don't. I am on HRT though. Since its been a long time, I wouldn't think you would, but if you have your ovaries, some of the hormone could be stored in your fat cells...because they should still function normally if your OBGYN left them in....so you may have emotional swings. Are you on HRT? I never once felt like I wanted to slap someone or be aggressive or anything like in some posts you read. Mine were more irritation more than anything..nothing that I couldn't rationalize out..now I am 5 months out and I am fine..I think you will be fine too..but just know its something most people have to deal with.
