 Hi my name is Colette
       I had a hysterectomy on dec. 1,2000. And i feel worse than before the surgery. I too have lost alot of weight because i'm afraid to eat i'm litterally starving myself to death i can't help it i'm so afraid to eat. My husband is great but i know its hard on him too i'v had so many problems for so long. I have three kids my oldest boy is 15 and my middle boy is 12 and my daughter is 3. I really have a hard time dealing with them because of my pain. I want to beable to be mom again!My time is so consumed trying to find someone to help me these dr are useless. Years ago i was diagnosed with IBS and this is not my IBS i do know the difference. I literally cannot go to the bathroom. I'v tried diets , metamucil which makes it worse for some reason. all kinds of laxatives nothing milk of magnesia used to give me the runs not no more i'm getting so tired of this so i do know how you guys feel. And it feels nice not to be alone on this thank you everyone here!!!!
