please share your stories - hysterectomy

My 12cm submucosal/intramural fibroid was discovered via ultrasound on 01/27. I consulted with three gynecologists and was (until yesterday) scheduled for my procedure on 09/04. I just got the call yesterday that there was a cancelation so I am now moved up to June 3rd - just two weeks from now!

I am going with a minimally invasive surgeon and pending MRI results from last week. I am only 29 but positive I dont want kids. I can't help but be anxious about things going wrong or possible side effects. for those of you who have had hysterectomies at least six months ago or longer - how do you feel now? any unexpected or disappointing long term effects? what kind of procedure did you have? anything you wish you could've done differently? not asking about regrets as to having children - speaking more physically, emotionally, etc. Your wisdom would be appreciated as I dont have anyone else i can talk to about this besides ChatGPT and i prefer not to use that as a source
