@otters Welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect. I understand how anxiety-provoking all of this is. I had a radical laparoscopic hysterectomy including ovaries and fallopian tubes 6 years ago after a diagnosis of endometroid adenocarcinoma. I too wondered how I would feel after the surgery. I was well prepared for my recovery as provided by my pre-op nurse. She went through a whole list of recommendations with me as were also in my written discharge instructions. It took me about 2 weeks to get my energy back since this is/was major surgery and I had general anesthesia. Interesting because you return home with a few little bandaids on your abdomen and yet my surgeon advised me that while I had no large incisions I still had a lot of healing to do on the inside.

I had complications from my surgery, no incontinence or bowel problems. Six years later I can still say that.

May I ask you if you'd like to share your symptoms, if any, prior to your diagnosis? What did your pathology report indicate for the kind of cancer and FIGO grade?
