Oh the surgery made all the difference in the world.  I didn't know how sick I was until the hated thing got removed and my body slowly returned to normal.  Yes, the bloat goes away and the opportunity is there to lose a lot of pounds and inches around the waistline as well.  I hope you get favorable news from your doctors.  Most of these things are benign...a major disruption in our lives, yes, but a fixable one.

I've read about basketball sized ones and even larger, so yes, they can make you look pregnant.  Mine wasn't that huge, closer to softball or grapefuit sized, and I still had enough bloat to look pregnant.  They can cause all kinds of symptomatic problems that will make you suspect other conditions besides pregnancy.  I never would have guessed a cyst could cause so many problems.
