Surgery Scheduled

Well I finally got my date for my surgery, June 13th at 8:15am, my post-op appt is on June 8th.
But I  must be happy to say that by ob/gyn will be assiting with the gyno/onco.  Besides the bedside manner of my onco are really, really bad.

Does anyone have any recommendation on what questions to ask my dr when i go for my post op visit ?  I have a list already BUT there is always one that u forget.

The scary part for me is not knowing what they found if anything until i wake up.  If you remeber the D.O from the MRI place stated it look like a solid mass that was NOT benign, the other radiologist from the orignal ultrasound stated it did not look abnormal and then the radioligst the my onco talked to said it looks solid sooooo the say the least it is certainly nerve racking...   Now if they did the MRI with a contrast and the one dr said he didnt think that they did cause he didnt see it what could that possibly mean ?   Did they not wait long enough after injecting me or what else ?

Love & light
Joan

Yes they are doing to be a Laprascopy and then if it is something that needs to be address at the time then they will do the Laparatomy.  
So like 'dawnyc' i will also being lying on the table wide open until the get the rest from pathology.

do you know how long either surgery will take ?

hey diana, i know what you mean with nerves...auuughh! but with the mri, normally they will do it with contrast if they think it's a fibroid. i too had a mri done without contrast because they didn't feel it was a fibroid. i'm glad that you're having surgery (mine is scheduled for the 7th) are they going to be able to do this laproscopic? good luck and God speed girl!
