How Long Does It Take To Recover After A Hysterectomy?

I just have a question regarding the hysterectomy I will be having a hysterectomy on 2/11/15 da vinci surgery. I am worried about the recovery time I was told he will be removing my uterus, cervix, fallopian tubes and possibly my left ovary if he feels he needs to depending on what he finds. I am 35 years old and can handle pain really good I had my gallbladder out on a Friday and came back to work that next Monday however I am hearing from everyone that I will be out 6 weeks. I have a sit down job and am really needed at work so am hoping it will only take 2 weeks? But wanted to see what you thought, I know everyone is different and we recover differently but wanted to get another opinion. Thanks
