i had an abdominal hysterectomy along with tubes and ovaries when i was 26 (1981). they kept me in for 6 days. i believe it is now 1-3 days. i could have gone back to work in 3 weeks if i had to, but stayed out for 6 because there was no light duty (i'm a registered nurse). i had a vertical incision from my naval to my pubic bone. the first day i thought i would die, the 2nd day i wished i would die, but by the 3rd day i was feeling better. one bit of advice....take all the drugs they want to give you. in this dayand age, there is no reason for you to be in pain. you don't sayhow old you are. good luck, and remember...stand up straight, after the surgery when you walkalso, don't freak out if your hair thins a little . that sometimes happens after anesthesia.
