I had a total hysterectomy done in August 2006 due to uterine fibroids and endometriosis. I still get very tired and is reflected on my lower back first. I also get these little spasm on my lower pelvic area. It has been five months already and been told that I am still healing. Now I notice that I am starting to gain weight, especially on my waist and abdomen, but am afraid to start excercising. Just wondering if anyone knows how long the healing process takes?
