About to go in for surgery tomorrow

Hi I'm off for a full Hysterectomy tomorrow and worried about it, can anyone give me any tips?

How long will I be in hospital for?

Will I go straight into Menopause?

How will I feel after the op?

Any advice would help.

thanks

      HI, I'm ok, sore but ok, surviving! I am lucky that they didn't need to open me up and it was done laparoscopy. However I still have problems getting my pain relief right, going for a poo and trying to do things is slowly. I feel tired a lot, although yesterday I did manage to walk to the girls school to pick them up. 

      ?My pain is around my pelvic bone down my right thy & around my lower back, all where my endometriosis was. It feels like I have been sitting on ice for ages and its half way through a thaw out and that's the pain, on the thaw out bit! ouch.
