Almost a week after my surgery.

Good Morning Ladies,

It have being almost a week since I got surgery(April 16th). I will say that on the day of the surgery I was not scare, but extremely anxious. I had really good care at the hospital, in which i stay until saturday, but the pain medication, have keep me nauseous and dizzy. I haven't being able to keep my food, but hey at least I am walking.

On a more serious note, the result of the surgery we both good and bad. The good part is that the cyst seems benign. So YaY!!!!. The bad part was that it was bigger than expected. It was 12cm. Also It took over my left ovary and it was taking out. I was sad by this news, but I saw it coming.

I cannot thank you enough for the support you girls gave me before prior my surgery. I will keep you post it!.

Love Lina

Hi Lina,

So glad everything came back benign. What a huge relief!!!! Sorry tou lost the one ovary, but you still have one good working one, so that must put your mind, somewhat, at ease. Try to eat a little something WITH your pain medication. The medication can be very ittitating on an empty stomache. Most people find that just a little food (like a couple of crackers or piece of toast) makes all the difference in the world!!!! Give it a try. Or else, like the other ladies said, call the doctor for a different med. Probably wouldn't be a bad idea to have something to eat with what ever else is prescribed for you, too. Again, I'm thrilled about your outcome. Take care and rest up!!!!

Hugs,
Shari

P.S. Ittitating is IRRITATING (sorry about the typo)

Hi there,
I would like to say that that is great news that your cyst was benign, and I know how you feel with the pain meds.  I agree with Marie, just ask your doctor to change your meds to ones that you tolerate better.  And then just concentrate on getting and feeling much better.

Peace and love...Kim

You can call and ask for a different pain med. I hate to have you feel icky when there are so many other options. I just took darvovet after mine because vicodin makes me feel sick. I am so glad your cyst was benign. Heal fast! Marie

I'm glad to hear everything went well and you got a good report. Yes, the pain medication can make you sick and dizzy plus it tends to constipate. I tried the pain pills 2 times then stopped. I didn't like feeling sick or weaving down the hallway. I prefer to eat :-)  Take it easy and you should be feeling some improvement real soon.
