I was given the option of the robotic hysterectomy in June and I have no regrets ! Obviously the people with the previous opinions have not lived with the pain of an enlarged uterus with fibroid tumors causing pain and excessive bleeding preventing them from being able to even get through the grocery store without being in severe pain, perhaps they prefer that we all be on pain pills and live our life stoned, I prefer to be pain free and able to enjoy an active life again. The concept of your life being over and divorce being caused by this surgery baffles me also, when you have a very enlarged uterus sex is very painful and not very fulfilling it also presses on the bladder causing urinary leakage, since my hysterectomy I have enjoyed a very fulfilling sex life with my husband and have no more symptoms of urinary incontinence. I think if you are blaming your marital problems on this surgery you need to examine the state of your marriage before the surgery. The bottom line is if you don't want a hysterectomy don't consent to one, no one forces you to have surgery. But don't bash everyone who chooses this for their health.
