Welcome to the forum Ceres
I had a vaginal hysterectomy back in 1999 age 32 due to total prolapse, I chose that method as I'd seen family members in and out within 3 days, however, I signed the consent form to say if he saw anything necessary in addition, he could do it
He decided to tighten me down below whilst operating (which my husband at the time said he couldn't feel it had bad tightened), and was stitched underneath, so I ended up in hospital for a week as I had bled quite a bit during surgery, I felt quite poorly for about 5 days.
But overall, I was decorating 5 weeks post op, and back to work at 6 weeks
Good luck
