I was fine in several weeks,, no moving heavy furniture or heavy lifting and refrain from sexual intercourse until doctor gives the ok.
It depends what kind of surgery you are having. Open surgery, in which a large incision is made, generally take the longest from which to recover. Laparoscopic (minimally invasive surgery) only requires 4 or 5 tiny (1-2 cm) incisions, so the recovery time is much less. There is an amazing robotic-assisted surgery for this called da Vinci Myomectomy. Patients are often up and about within 24 hours. There is generally much less pain, and hardly any scarring. You should definitely do your research and find out if you are a candidate for robotic myomectomy (the term for surgical fibroid removal). Good luck to you!
