    * Abdominal -- Complete recovery usually takes four to eight weeks. You will gradually be able to increase your activities.
    * Vaginal or laparoscopic -- Most women are able to return to normal activity in one to two weeks.

    For both, by the sixth week, you should be able to take tub baths and resume sexual activities.

    I just had a vaginal hysterectomy 5 days ago and am up and doing things, slowly though. I refuse to carry anything over 10lbs but my fatigue has gone after 3 days of just bed rest.... the 4 th day was okay walked a bit and today i feel 50 percent recovered. I was told it will be 6 weeks till full recovery though.

    I was on medical leave for 6 weeks (abdominal hysterectomy). I still had fatigue for a while after that, as a lot of women do.
