Dermoid and polyp removal questions
Posted , 5 users are following.
Hi all,
Me again, has anyone had dermoid cyst removal via key hole surgery and polyp removal during same op? Is 2 weeks recovery still ok or will it be longer as 2 procedures to recover from?
Also I have my pre op in a week wot can I expect them to do, I've never had an operation before and feel nervous?
Thanks,

At the preop assessment they do your height, weight, test for MRSA (they just twiddle a cotton bud thing in your nostril and one in your groin) They take blood samples and sometimes do an ECG but not always (I didn't have one) You then get 20 mins or so with a nurse who will ask questions about your health and you have chance to ask her about any worries you may have about the operation.

Omg 6 weeks I really hope not, I've only arranged two weeks off as I only started my job 6 months ago and could do with as little absence as possible but know my health comes first.Its only a day procedure so was hoping for quick recovery, guess questions like this are what the pre op is about. I will keep you posted.

so today I had my pre op and they said I will have to stay in overnight and wear a catheter for the first night.
I have a dilemma, it's my mums 50th few days after my procedure and we had already booked a hotel break 2 hours away for 2 nights for 2 days after my op, realistically does anyone think I can still make it? Obviously I wouldn't ge driving and I would be just in the hotel and not doing anything strenuous at all just literally be at the hotel and eating in the on site restaurant.
the nurse who did my pre on said it's not ideal and the main issue would be the journey and she said she can't tell me what to do but she would say if I did go I would need to stop several times and take a short walk to reduce risk of blood clots and not over do it.
she recommended I ask the consultant, I am thinking providing I feel ok I would be able to go but stop every 40mins for a short walk on the journey there and be completely relaxing with a few strolls in the hotel (no stairs would be using a lift) when I'm there, tbh I would probably be relaxing more there than at home?
the nurse did say obviously if there were any after op complications I would need to go to hospital which would be out of the area bt this a very small risk.
thoughts?
usually I wouldn't consider it but it's my mums 50th and they will be taking good care of me.
if I have any complications within 24hours or fel unwell then obviously I won't be going but if I'm feeling ok surely I should be ok?
anyone who already had this procedure advise??
thankyou!
