Ovarian Cyst Surgery in 2 days! Please help
Posted , 8 users are following.
About 2 months ago i got horrible pain which led to me going to the E.R , i was diagnosed with 2 ovarian cyst one on each side . The left side is about 12cm and im not sure about the right just know its smaller. I'm having surgery in 2 days and im petrified to say the least. Had my pre-op on thurs day but still unsure of the whole process. Removing my left ovary might be the best alternative , but shes unsure about my right or even taken out the cysts since she feels might cause damage to my ovary . Its just been crazy and emotional not knowing the aftermath or how life will be . Will i have different symptoms ? Sex drive ? Fertility ? Thank you in advanced and God Bless you

Well at the beggining it was suppose to be key hole, thats what i was mentally prepared for these past 2 months , on my pre op this past thur she told me she is going to try and do it key hole,yet since its big in size she will stop key hole if she finds it might not take all the fragments out and jump into open surgery . which of course freaks me out thinking ill be basicly having both. Have they mentioned what your surgery might be ??

I am on the waiting list for open surgery as they think they may not be able to collapse the cyst and suck it out via keyhole due to them having some internal septations. I am still waiting confirmation following another MRI last Monday. Time usually flies but the last month has been so slow waiting to hear. I too have been told I am likely to lose my left ovary and depends on the right. I have been told there is a possibility of a hysterectomy but again I won't know till I wake up.
The menopause scare me the most.
What sort of recovery time have they said?
Have you got a good network of support?
How are you feeling in yourself? I am so tired and am having problems sleeping.

Recovery time is from 2-4 weeks depends on the surgery she preforms ... whats your recovery time??
I have been blessed with having alot of people care for me and pray for me im very fortunate . How about you ?? Do you have a good support network girl ?? Im glad these sites are able to bring us together and get to conversate with someone who is going through the same.
I've deff been tired, nauseus, can't sleep , I hardly get hungry at times. For sleep i found thta taking a Nightime Advil i believe really helps me. As well as low dose of zanax to calm me down.

I am 40 next week and my family thankfully is complete. I have a great network of support. I am freaking slightly as this is my 2nd MRI. This time they wanted to have a further look around especially my lymph nodes. I am trying to go with the "no news is good news". I am sure they would have called if concerned?
Depending on surgery type I have been told anywhere from 2-8 weeks.
I will be thinking of you over the next few days. Please keep us all posted. These forums are great for supporting each other.
Take care
