Welcome to NeuroTalk:

I cannot give you a clinical answer, because I am not a specialist about Suboxone.

But I can give you half-life information. Naloxone (which is in Suboxone, and is the euphoria blocker, has a very short half life:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Naloxone
1-1.5 hr.

The buprenorphine part is much longer... the pain reliever portion,
20-70 hr with an average of 37 hrs.

Make sure your doctors know of your last time you took a Suboxone and what dose you currently use. They will have to decide on the dosing to treat you.

If you having a laparoscopic hysterectomy there will be much less pain than with the older types. Recovery is much faster too.
