Have you had a hysterectomy? If so, what is a realistic recovery period?

Asked by geeky_mama (8930points) January 21st, 2011

I’m not having an abdominal procedure – I’m having laparoscopically assisted vaginal hysterectomy (LAVH) – removing both cervix and uterus.
I travel extensively for work and want to be sure that the 2–3 weeks recovery time I’m planning is not too short, nor too conservative.
I would appreciate any first hand experience or advice on any hysterectomy procedure.
