I had a hysterectomy in 2004, and because of severe endometriosis, they had to do it the "traditional" way. I had a hipbone-to-hipbone incision. The surgery was done on a Monday. I was up and walking on Tuesday. The bed was horribly uncomfortable and I had to
move! (It was kind of funny, because when they came into my room to make me get up, there I was ... already up and walking around. I guess having uncomfortable beds is one way to get folks moving! LOL!) I went home on Wednesday. No problems at all.
Years ago, my mom spent 9 or 10 days in the hospital when she had hers.
