Few questions about Cyst and pending Surgery
Posted , 4 users are following.
Hi
I am due in hospital next wednesday for surgery to remove a large unknown cyst type mass. Its the big surgery, not keyhole. I have a few queries and would love to hear from ladies who have experienced this.
In the last few days I have started feeling worse. My entire stomach feels like someone is squashing it. it feels so tight and my ribs under my breasts feel bruised. I am so uncomfortable, light headed and sometimes unsteady. I had to leave work late yesterday because I felt unsafe to drive.
Is this normal. My cyst was 7cm a few weeks back so could be larger. Is the cyst causing this?
I am a bridesmaid on saturday and so scared I wont last the day and will need to lay down somewhere. Especially when I am wearing a corset dress!!!
Another query. I have had an appointment come through for a Lipid and Metabolism clinic 2 weeks after the operation. Is this connected?
I have also been told I have high cholestrol but the Dr said she would delay treatment for a few months so I can recover and try and get cholestrol levels down.
So is this related to the operation or possibly my cholestrol?
Thanks ladies x

I'm so sorry you are going through all this, sooner you get this cyst out the better Hun.

I am getting so so worried about the wedding. I cant do anything for more then 15 mins without feeling bad and I know my dress makes me feel worse.
Is it silly to consider taking a walking stick to help steady me if needed??

If i was at the wedding and saw you with a walking stick I'd think you were a great friend !!
