I will soon be having a hysterectomy. Anyway, I was just wondering, hat is the normal down time? How many days in the hospital, how many days off work, etc... ? The thing is that I manage my own store and love my work so I would like to get back to my work asap. So, any comments are welcome.

I had an emergency hysterectomy last year and was really pleased with it. I feel great. I was told I could go home the same day!! Now, I know that this is not same for everybody and that it really varies from one case to another. Anyway, I was able to walk around the block by the weekend and could drive just two weeks post op. I haven't discussed my work but I know that I’we been on a sick leave for 3 weeks. Hope this is enough info for you. Good luck!
