Hysterectomy after wls?
I ended up not seeing my regular doctor. This *insert colorful adjective* blamed my OVARIAN pain on a UTI. He said that he couldn't PROVE it was a UTI, but he's putting me on 2 weeks of antibiotics "just in case". 
He ended up doing an exam that was so painful I jumped off the table and cried. This was AFTER he saw me hunched over on the floor, in pain. He then proceeded to chew me out saying I should have gone to the ER. Sorry, bud, I'm not going to sit in the waiting room for hours. You're stuck with my Casper white hairy legs now! I have to wait 2 hours to go get my meds, but we will see what happens. He put in a script for pain meds for me, then told me to come back in a week to see my regular doctor.
IMO, antibiotics are misued and I dont take too kindly with the just in case thing... he should've not been lazy & ordered a U/S or something to check you for size of cysts and/or the presence of fibroids...
I had a cyst burst before....WORST PAIN EVER but I was so relieved when it was done....depending on how thorough you local ER is, that may have been a better choice
The ER is more incompetent. lol I shouldn't laugh about that, but it's become normal to me. He ordered a pregnancy test and a urine sample. The thing is that I have zero signs of a uti. I pee like normal, I'm hydrated, no pain with going to the bathroom, or anything. If the pains keep up, I will be asking my insurance to cover me at a different hospital. (Military insurance makes you go to the nearest military hospital. Since we live on post, ours is the closest.)

I had a hysterectomy and didn't gain from it... But I kept my ovaries, and it was in 2010. I gained after but that was from prednisone. *shudder*
Look into what the synthetic hormone replacement options are and what others say about it... A very awesome site is http://www.hystersisters.com/

And yeah that nasty stuff... *more shudders* It attaches it's self to my arse at a rate of 3-5 lbs per 50 mg. UGH! EVEN if I am not eating food, and hooked to an IV. It defies the laws of odds but it is just my luck of the draw.
