Re: HYSTERECTOMY: Realistic recovery timeframe after vaginal hysterectomy From: William F. von Almen, II, MD, FACOG (anonymous@obgyn.net) Sun, 30 Sep 2007 19:24:35 -0500 (CDT) Messages sorted by: [ date ][ thread ][ subject ][ author ] Next message: D: "UROGYNECOLOGY: To : Hope-- thanks for your earlier story" Previous message: William F. von Almen, II, MD, FACOG: "Re: PREGNANCY: Positive HPT!!!" In reply to: Shellie: "HYSTERECTOMY: Realistic recovery timeframe after vaginal hysterectomy" Shellie I would plan on 6 weeks. It is unlikely your doc can 'give you' more than 6 weeks off for an uneventful vaginal hysterectomy. If there are any complications, of course more time is given. Hope this helps...Dr. von Almen At Sun, 30 Sep 2007, Shellie wrote: > >I am scheduled for a TVH and I am trying to figure out how long recovery >might take.
