Ovarian Cyst
I found out I have grown another large ovarian cyst and got to have laparotomy bikini cut surgery on March 12 so what should I do to prepare for my laparotomy surgery, what should I expect once I get to the hospital, after surgery, and how long will I be in the hospital, I also have endo too. I'm in pain constantly bowel problems sleep problem tired all the time also I have to go to the hospital on the 27 of this month I guess for tests so what should I expect.
You should be out within hours of surgery. I went into the ER expecting to find out I had appendicitis, ended up I had a 10x11 cm dermoid cyst in my right ovary. I went into surgery a few hours later and was out before lunch time the next day. They just wanted to make sure I had a bowel movement and could get around a decent enough distance.
After the surgery, you should have a post-op appointment to make sure things are healing well and discuss what was done and such. Take your pain meds and the stool softener as prescribed as pain meds can cause constipation on their own but are necessary to help with matters.
Things hurt, but they're not as bad as, say, a broken heel or leg. You still shouldn't expect to want to go much of anywhere for a month as you'll be able to get around but not THAT well.
