    Hi Stacy,

    It wasn't worse for me, but my hysterectomy was an abdominal one a few years ago, and that left a lot of adhesions that had to be cut before the surgeon could remove my ovary, tube and the cyst.

    I had a prolapse repair done vaginally at the same time, and that was by far the worse of the two.

    It really wouldn't worry me if I had to have the other ovary removed.

    My friend had both of hers removed and was only in hospital two days, and was ok apart from tiredness for a couple of weeks after.

    You just need to rest afterwards and get your strength back, but you'll be fine.x.

    I had my ovaries and Fallopian tubes removed with a lot of scar tissue also. Laparoscopic surgery. It was out patient. Recovery was easier than what I thought. Did not need to take the narcotics doctor gave me. Advil was just fine.
