Incision length and recovery

Went to see a surgeon for advice on Da vinci hysterectomy and was told that it could convert to an open surgery with a bikini cut because of fibroids which made my uterus twice big as normal. Can use morcellation with bag containment but vaginal exit may be too narrow as I’ve never given birth. They used their hand to indicate the length in the case of a bikini cut- looks about 6cm. Nauseous at the thought of having an open surgery from hearing about the hard recovery from my mother’s c-section and what people shared in this subreddit. Want to hear some advice, How long is your bikini incision, your length of hospital stay and how long did it take you to recover?
