my laparoscopic partial hysterectomy

Just walking around your home and out in the garden is going to give you all the exercise you need at this early stage.

I'm sure you were told nothing more than a cup of tea, do you lift, under no circumstances lift anything heavy, you will still be healing inside even if you cannot see it.

Check with your Dr's if you want to start any exercises, but some years ago if i remember it was 6 weeks, than you can go for your life.

I have a scar that runs from my waist to my pelvis, so may be a little bigger than yours, but in my case they were chasing a cancer.

Best thing I ever did, not that I had any choice, all happened very quickly once D & C showing cancer cells.

Well it sounds like you've had a good start to your recovery.  I had a vaginal hysterectomy 2 years ago and I was also amazed at how easy it was.  I was taking short walks outside after a few days and made a really good recovery with no problems and no pain.  The only think I would warn you about is that because you feel so well you think you are back to normal and are tempted to do too much.  I had a heavy bleed at two weeks caused by simply twisting down to remove a plug from a socket.  Within a couple of hours I was bleeding heavily and it really frightened me.  Your internal stitches do take a while to heal and I had torn some.  I did have a bladder repair as well as the hysterectomy and this involves quite a lot of stitches that I had not realised.  So just be aware of any bending or twisting.  I know they tell you not to lift things but I wasn't advised to avoid awkward movements.

Good luck with your full recovery.  I was back to running after 6 weeks and when I think of the discomfort I was in before, I also think that the op was the best thing I had ever done!

All the best
