EVeryone is different but I really needed 2 weeks before I had therapist after my hysterectomy. I had a phone session at 1 week post-op and I was still so tired and on pain meds that my therapist couldn't keep me awake and eventually very gently told me that I was asleep and he was hanging up. So it was kind of a check-in but not the best. Other people have an easier recovery than I did though so maybe it would be ok at 1 weeks for some people.
Yeah I have heard that it usually takes 2 weeks to actually be able to function a bit. My doctor told me I wouldn’t be myself for 6 weeks.

I have tough recoveries with surgeries so I’m expecting this one won’t be any different.

I have a question. Did you lose or gain any weight with your hysterectomy? I often lose about 10 pounds after surgery because of nausea and pain.
