How much time is needed before going back to work?
Hi, the amount of time off varies depending on the type of hyst done, your physical condition and your dr. The norm seems to be 6 - 8 weeks (maybe a bit sooner for the laproscopic surgeries ).
I had a tah/bso and my initial recovery was 6 weeks. I took it slow and easy with help with the heavier household work - no vacumning, mopping or heavy work for 6 weeks.
Please do discuss all your concerns with your dr - that way you can decide what will be best for you
