I had total hysterectomy about week ago very little pain it was done laparoscopy and I feel good except for bloating and I’m just waiting for my pathology report. hanging in there you got this

It really depends on the surgical approach. If you have a laparoscopic hysterectomy, which is minimally invasive, you will probably go home the the same day or the day after surgery. If you need an abdominal hysterectomy, where the surgery has to make an incision in your abdomen, you may spend 3-5 nights in the hospital. Any post-op complications could also extend your stay. I had a laparoscopic hysterectomy, was up and walking around the hospital that evening & went home the next day. Three days after surgery I was painting the garage door. I needed no pain meds at all once I left the hospital. Your surgeon should explain all of this to you prior to surgery. If they don’t, ask.

Thank you so much, I will see my doctor the 31 of October, she will then tell me what my options are. My gynecologist said my new doctor would most likely recomend removing all my reproductive system. I guess it's what you mentioned Radical. So I have to wait and see what happens. Thank you so much for answering me. I am really scared and your experience with operation helps me understand a little more.

I had my Hysterectomy surgery on Oct 8th. It was an abdominal surgery (Radical). I went home on Friday, Oct 10th. I didn't have any pain. I was able to walk and was doing well. I guess it depends on each person. How well you recover.
