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

Here Iam awake again, I have been awake for about 2 hours now which is longest since surgery but feel like I could lay down & go to sleep again.
I have read the leaflets and all seem to be pain killers & anti inflammatory non are stool softeners :-( and have managed a number 2 since surgery ( I don't know what the normal time guide is for that? )
I will try that way of getting up because earlier I tried getting up from a laying position and ended up laying even further down lol so had to call my fiancé for help :-/ he came round the corner and just said to me "what on earth are u doing down there" well I thought that was a daft question so just replied "oh I dunno I just fancied a lye down" doh lol
I'm still peeing for england tho which is annoying to say the least.
Another annoying thing I hav found is that I seem to have some flem on my chest / throat that I can't clear because coughing hurts like crazy, I was thinking that this is from the tubes down my throat while under?
Also both sides of my neck at the front hurt? ( on the outside) dunno y this is?
I know some people may thing I'm daft writing all this in here so early on but I'm hoping it will help others so that they know what's what, kind of like a diary :-)
One good thing is that the surgeon told me that my right ovary & fallopian tube are in pristine condition! Fingers and toes crossed that it stays that way :-)
Because I don't wanna go thru this again!
Oh so u bleed from surgery? Is that normal? Coz I didn't oh I'm a little worried as to y I didn't now?
U see no one explained to me if I would or wouldn't start having periods again, think if nothing shows by next week I might give my GP a phone and see what she says ?
Anyway I'm going to take some
More pain relief as I can feel it starting to nibble again, then I'm having my 100th pee of the day lol and get some more sleep surprise surprise ;-)
Take care talk soon

Well thats good if you've already had a BM! I didnt til the evening of day 2 in hospital i think. I was terrified! Lmao but it was nothing.
Lol yeah, its going to take time to realize "oh I cant get up like I normally do" Hopefully that way helps you! I know it helped me, I felt like a dork when I got up sometimes cause it seems like it takes forever to get up like that when youre bursting to pee.
The many trips to go pee, and sleeping all the time will get frustrating, just remember it wont always be like that. The first few days I was like that. by day 4/5-day14 I felt great tons of energy etc, then crashed again. lol. Which from reading up sounds normal if it happens to you.
That is good news! I hope it does stay that way I wish I was that lucky. Lol my left side is a nuisance.
Yeah, I got some post surgery bleed, that was much like a period. The nurse that discharged me told me that if it lasted longer than 10 days to go get checked, or if there was a lot of clotting, etc. But it only lasted 6 days. And i think it was 28 or 29 days later and my period came. Thats when i started the birth control again.
I wonder if now this means you'll get a period? If there is anything else that has caused a delay in your period it might not happen for you. Who knows, something to ask the dr about for sure.

Hi Jess
I think I worded that wrong before I haven't had a BM yet and am dreadding it!
Last night the trapped gas hurt properly for the first time, which was strange coz I was expecting that to happen straight away.
Yes getting up is dodgy lol the prob is we hav a large mirror in our lounge so I can see my self struggle and admittedly it's frustrating but also a lil funny :-)
I'm hoping there was nothing else stopping my periods because I'd love to have them back ( yes I know how strange that must sound to some people )
Anyway I'm going to try and eat some toast hav some more pain meds & have a couple more hours sleep because I feel like I'm exhausted!
Best wishes to all who read this

Oh okay, well, if you can, get someone to get you some stool softners, Colace(Docusate sodium) I believe is what I was taking. It does help! When eating make sure you're eating high protein and high fiber, itll make things go a whole lot better for you. Which is another reason why they have you drink so much in a day too. The last thing you want is hard stool, or constipation!!
I found for about a week, off and on I would have the trapped gas. Keep doing deep breathing while you're laying down and resting, and get up and walk as best you can. that'll help. I found the trapped gas to be the most painful that anything else.
Lmao. yeah. I never got to see myself, but i know i laughed a lot (which ow! laughing is good, but hold the tummy when you do!) at what I must look like..
While it oes sound strange to some i understand. I only get my periods every 3 months due to being on birth control trying to keep things at bay for left side, but when i get it (all pain aside) I'm more happy about it now, than i used to be given how i was post op i feared i wouldnt get them again etc.

Hi all
Managed to get up the stairs today for the first time since Friday!!!! But I'm knackered now lol.
Well progress report:-
Still no bleeding!
Still no BM :-(
I'm a little worried about the flem that is on my chest, its a greenish colour! Not sure if that is normal after tubes down throat?
I'm also finding I'm staying awake for longer now which is good :-)
Hope everyone is having a good day?
