Aa
Just come out of surgery 3 hours ago :-)
Hi
I had my laposcopy dine today, as promised here is the low down:-
I "HAD" a 20-17-13 cyst which was thought to be on right ovary! But when they got in they found it was actually on the left side!
Operation took approximately 4 hours :-/ but this was because sadly they had to remove my left ovary & left fallopian tube along with the huge cyst.
I was adamant that I was NOT using a commode or a bed pan so first wee went to bathroom via wheelchair & 2 wee I walked with lots of support!
Considering I hadn't had a drink since early hours this morning I think I pee'd for England ;-)
I'm still on oxygen mask and fluids drip so will be going home tomoro mowning rather then tonight :-(
The pain is more of a burning/stinging sensation in my stomach so as yet not too bad ( but they have been giving me morphine for pain )
I still have a slight fever but they are keeping it under control!
I have managed to eat a sandwich and drink some water but feel nauseas but not actually being sick
I would appreciate any advice on what to expect after having one ovary, one fallopian & cyst removed thank u to those who have been forthcoming with advice so far, much luv & respect coming ur way xx

I hope your feeling a bit better,take things easy and dont try to push yourself to much. My cysts are solid and the largest one has a solid mass inside it. Had a cCA125 test slighty raised /booked in for surgery 2 or 3 week of JULY.Im having it done in a small local hospital I discussed with my gyno what going to happen she going in to see with the camera first to see if the cyts are inside the tubes ,she has advised me that it will more than likey to be removal of both tubes and ovaries also if she sees anything else she doesnt like she may do a full hysterectomy.Please take care .
I'm sorry to hear you had a rough day :( I hope things are better today!
Things are emotional, your hormones are all over the charts, your limited as to what you can do, etc.
Yes, it can take 6-8 weeks. But, if you get up when you feel good, and start doing little things, like going for a walk, grocery shopping, later on try doing some dishes. Even if thats the only thing you do in one day is go for a nice walk, and it exhausts you, and you do little to nothing else... Thats okay. You might get frustrated with how little you're able to do even when you can start doing more things. But at the same time, it'll help you feel like you've got a level of independence back.
When this all first started, and i was so limited, and had to rely on my mom and others to help me with things... i started to understand when a child is frustrating cause they cant do something for themselves, or you're helping them too much. LMAO. sad that i compared myself to a 3 year old but sometimes... the emotions and "temper tantrums" i had, i felt like one!
As for you other ladies, I wish you luck with your upcoming surgeries, and will keep you in my thoughts :) Hope your surgeries go better than expected! I found the pre op so over whelming and i had it a month before surgery! And my surgery got delayed a week. Good luck ladies!

I'm glad to hear you are having a better day!
Sorry to hear your first adventure out was to the dentist.... at least make it grocery shopping next time or something... less painful :P Glad to hear the crown was fixed though!
Glad to hear you're in a much happier place today! It does take time, and some days are worse than others. Dont be too hard on yourself when you cant do as much one day cause you're not feeling well etc. remember youre only human and cant be expected to just jump right back into day to day life ;)

I'm so excited to hear that you are doing better and that you are out, even if its just to the dentist. Just take it slow and dont try to rush things. In the end everything will keep on getting better. Take much care.
So glad to hear you doing better now! Each day will surely get better and better now for you! I hope you get out to do something more fun than the dentist though!
I had my 2nd ultrasound and visit with my Dr this week and found that my cyst is gone! woo hoo! I still have major bloating, nausea and some pain..she said its normal due to fluid still there and organs having been stressed..could take a few months for this to go away..I can't believe this process! I've been exhausted too..can't wait to feel like myself again..but so happy I don't need surgery! I hope to never go through this again.
