Hello sweetie.  Gosh, I would hope your doctor can help you.  First, I just had a friend tell me that their doctor said that they could remove their uterus and keep their ovaries and not have a lot of problems . . . and she was very excited at this prospect because no more periods.  She said her doctor said her hormones would still be such that it wouldn't be like the immediate menopause you get with a hysterectomy.  Hm, your post makes me think she may be wrong on that!  

I think in your situation, balancing out those hormones makes sense.  Why did they do the procedure on you?  Could you add some estrogen?  What types of symptoms are you having now?

I know how you feel. My organs were removed and it put my life into a tailspin. A prescription for estrogen would likely help quite a bit. It has for me. Unfortunately, doctors may say you don't need estrogen but any time part of the reproductive system (uterus, ovary) is removed, it can cause a loss if hormones.

If you have any questions, feel free to ask.
