13cm cystectomy TOMORROW
IM SO NERVOUS but thankful to get this thing out!! Just found out a few minutes ago my 13cm ovarian cyst that’s been causing me significant pain and pressing on my organs is getting surgically removed tomorrow! The plan is laparoscopic but if they see anything concerning because my ca-125 levels were high it’ll end up being open surgery.
They already warned me that due to the size they are trying to save some of my ovary but there is a chance they cannot😢 what would this mean for me? 25F. They believe I may have endometriosis. Will they know for sure after this surgery?
Any tips for me? I’ve never had surgery or anesthetia and I’m very very nervous and have a severe throw up phobia (OCD) so I already told them I’ll need them to administer an anti naseua medication.
Anything I should know for recovery? I have such limited time to prepare I’m freaking out
