I also had mine done in 2000, and didn't have any problem whatsoever!
And, as Charm said, make sure you can take care of all your bathroom duties before you're discharged. Makes things a lot easier. I was in the hospital for 2 days and then up and around within a week after coming home. Just make sure you take it easy for a while, don't lift anything, etc, etc.
You'll LOVE not having your period anymore! I certainly don't miss having mine!
By the way, I see you're from Cedar Falls. My uncle and aunt live there. He's a retired professor of history at the University of Northern Iowa. I was there a few times and it's a very nice area with lovely people!
