Hi,
Usually after undergoing any major surgery, it will take one week around for the external wounds to heal, but it may take one to one and a half month for the internal wounds to heal completely. The same thing can be applied for uterine uplifting procedure also. After one week of the procedure you can do regular, normal activities and work. But you should not do any strenuous activity for around 6 weeks after surgery.
Especially weight lifting activities and the work that leads to pressure on the abdomen should be avoided. So if possible please discuss these things with your management and arrange accordingly. Also, you should maintain abstinence for around 6 to 8 weeks post surgery.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
