I had laparoscopic surgery done if that makes any difference. I’ve been doing it on top of my underwear so I haven’t done it directly down there.
But will this cause issues or complications? I see my doctor on Thursday and I don’t want to get into trouble.

even with laparoscopic you still are not supposed to have any kind of sex including masturbation for the amount of time set by your doctors.
just in case you have forgotten what the doctor has told you a total hysterectomy is the removal of the uterus and cervix. the whole surgery is not done laparoscopically. ie the uterus and cervix will not fit through a laparoscopic hole. part of the surgery is though the vagina. then they sew (suture or staples are used) the back of the vagina closed where the uterus and cervix used to be.
the reason they tell you no sex for two weeks is to give that wound time to heal and the vaginal muscles time to heal.
Talk with your doctors they will explain to you in more detail what they meant when they said no sex for 2 weeks.
also give your self time. when I had my hysterectomy there was no way my genitals were interested in any form of sex. it hurt inside, and every time I used my abdomen muscles it did not feel good at all. it really does take a couple weeks for healing to happen.
talk with your doctors.
