      You've echoed my thoughts Teresa, I was thinking about Sally yesterday.

      Are you ok Sally, like Teresa has said, let us know one way or another, even if you backed out at the last moment, no-one is going to judge.

    Yes, I must admit that now I'm a good few weeks after surgery and gradually getting back to a normal life, I still feel the worry and anxiety that everyone who is about to have, or has just had this op is feeling, and I have been thinking about you Sally as you were so worried.  I didn't have the same op as you did, but the wonderful women on this forum have been through everything and back again, and if you are having any troubles this is a good place to come for support, even if you decided not to go ahead.  Hope you're feeling OK and on road to recovery.  xx

      Hi Sally

      So glad you are home.  You must feel as light as a feather after having the monster of all monsters of a cyst removed.  Good job you had the op.  Get lots of rest and drink plenty. 

      Love

      Hi Sally,

      Wow! I thought that my fibroid was heavy at just over 6lb but I can't believe your cyst at just under 2 stone.I am glad that you went ahead with the operation as there was no way you could of carried on with that size cyst.I wish you well with your recovery and please make sure you 

      keep us posted to let us know how you are getting on.Have plenty of rest and take it easy.

      luv

      Hi. Thought I'd see how you are doing. Have things settled now with leaking? Did you find out what was going on

      Hopefully having 2 stone removed from you is making things easier. I'm only 2 days post op so still achy. I've got achy restless legs which is worse than the stomach pain at the mo. Hoping hrt will kick in before I lose all my natural hormone out my system. Hope you OK with it too xx
