Hi Melissa,
I'm sorry the information wasn't quite what you were looking for. I personally haven't had this type of surgery, but I can tell you what a c-section is like. That was major abdominal surgery that I definitely had pain after, used the pain reliever they gave me for at least a week afterward, and had to limit my activity. I imagine your experience may be similar at least initially. Here is more detailed information about the procedure (depending on the type of surgery your doctor is doing), and what to expect. Hope it helps more than the previous information: Mayo Clinic - Myomectomy, What to Expect
Please let us know if you have any more questions, or how else we can help you to advocate for yourself.
