Since her surgery is considered laparoscopic the recovery time should be pretty short in terms of four weeks or less but you should clear that with your surgeon who is more familiar with your anatomical the facts than I am. Good luck with your surgery
If there are no other complications, then the recovery time is about 4 weeks. You can drive two to three days post-surgery, return to work in 1-2 weeks, and no lifting heavy objects for at least 3 weeks.
Usually, you will spend 1-2 nights recovering in the hospital. You may need to take 1-4 weeks off work. Most people can return to a normal diet and activities within 1 month. Full recovery may take 2-3 months total.
