Expect to stay in the hospital from overnight to three days, depending on the type of hysterectomy that you had. Some patients, following a da Vinci hysterectomy, may go home the same day as their surgery. You will be encouraged to walk around as soon as possible following surgery. Walking keeps your blood moving and helps prevent blood clots in your legs. You can expect some pain following surgery, but it will be controlled with medication.
