Myomectomy recovery

I am having a myomectomy (keyhole using robotics) to remove a 7cm fibroid. Does anyone know what the recovery is like? I’ve been told 3-4 weeks. I’m wondering how long I should tell work to expect me to be off (I teach part time so they will need to arrange cover) and also how long before I will be up and about. And how long in hospital? Anyone had this procedure and can tell me how they found the recovery?

Good morning I had a partial hysterectomy done with the robot . For me the recovery process was about 2 weeks but everyone’s pain tolerance is different . I hope you have a speedy recovery 💜
