Can I ask what the surgery was like and recovery period. Also how long were you on zoladex
Hi Libby, I decided to have an elective vnotes salpingoophrectomy(ovary and fallopian tube) over one month ago to bring on surgical menopause. Was in medically induced menopause (zoladex monthly injections) for 9 months prior and am so glad I no longer have to have 4 years more of them. The vnotes surgery was non invasive (highly recommend), half day surgery and recovery was excellent, just some bloating for a day or so. As I'd already been in chemical menopause prior, the symptoms were no different ie wakefulness, bit hot at night etc. Reach out if you have any other questions. Nina x
