Re: A little nervous
Hi awilley71 to HysterSisters!
Recovery for everyone is different, and very hard to predict. Keep in mind that no matter how they enter your tummy, you will have lots of internal healing to do. You will also probably be very exhausted for a couple of weeks or more.
I had a TAH BSO, so my surgery was quite different. But for me, I was out of work for three weeks, and then returned to work (moderate stress desk job) on a part time basis for another 4 weeks. That was tough, tough, tough! Post-op pain was moderate but controllable. I did the brief and frequent walks, and that did help quite a bit. I just slowly moved back into life, and backed off when my body said it was too much. 100% recovery took about 15 to 18 months.
