On August 7, 2023 I had laparoscopic surgery to remove a 8cm ovarian cyst on my left ovary. My left and right fallopian tubes were also removed plus an uterine biopsy was taken. All of this was sent to pathology to test for cancer. The process leading up to it was extremely painful and stressful. You can watch the video here: • My Ovarian Cyst Diagno... .
I hope this video offers you insight on what to expect on your day of surgery. Please like this video if you have found it helpful and do leave a comment or questions you may have. I am happy to help! And thanks for sharing this video to other women who are in the similar situation. Wishing you comfort and peace on your personal ovarian cyst journey.
Stand by for Part 2: Post-Surgery Recovery Experience.
xo, Debbie

I jusy stumbled upon this one week after my laparotomy surgery. I dint have a chance to have a laparoscopic surgery since i was in so much pain and dint know what was happening in my body. I was also half awake in the surgery....that was one hectic surgery ....it was my 3rd but this one was more painful than the last 2. So far, so good but i am slowly healing. Lost my left ovary and they did cyst drilling on my right.

You were half awake?! Did you feel pain? So sorry you had to go through that.

Thank you for sharing this. I am really scared to have surgery. It is coming up at the end of this month and I never had surgery ever. I have an 18.5 cm cyst that needs to be removed.

I wish I could give you a big hug! You will feel so much better when your cyst is removed. Your body will start healing and you will be so happy to be on the other side of this. xo

I feel like we experienced the same experience. I had my appendix taking out years before. Plus I had a c section! Ugh my body is tired. I’m still one week one after ovary removal

@bydeborahsavage 7 ай бұрын

Yes, your body will be so tired! It is going through the recovery process and the first week is the worst. Please, be gentle with yourself - you are on the road to recovery. You will definitely start feeling better (more yourself) around 3 to 4 weeks. Take things nice and slow. Sending you lots of love!

I’m about to endure the same surgery! I stumbled upon your part 2 vid, first. I had so many questions and your videos have helped so much! Thank you for sharing your story!! I have a 7cm cyst on my right ovary. Getting my right ovary, cyst and both fallopian tubes removed. I’m nervous! I’ve had 4 surgeries from the age of 3-13, but now that I’m 37 I pray I recover quickly as I did when I was younger. 😅 Do you think 1 week off of work is suffice?

You have had a lot of surgery experiences! Wow! You will be so happy to have your cyst removed. My pain and discomfort was quite bad and I started feeling better at 3 weeks. But, that’s just me. If you could get a second week off I would recommend it. Do listen to your body as you heal. Sending you positive vibes!

How are you? Thank you for sharing. Did you receive any nerve block or lidocaine for your incisions? I’m wondering why it was so painful upon waking up. So glad you are over it all! I have a dermoid cyst and still have to get surgery.

@bydeborahsavage 3 ай бұрын

Hi Shannon! Thanks for watching my video. I did not receive a nerve block or lidocaine for my incisions. The intense pain might be from my uterine biopsy that I had at the same time too. Perhaps, I was cramping from the biopsy site? I have had my appendix out before and the pain was similar to that plus the bleeding from the uterine biopsy which was not fun! There was just so much going on with my body. The first week was rough for me and the second was much better. I am 7 months post-op now and I feel amazing! I am so glad to get the cyst out of my body. Best wishes to you!

Please dear is extreme hunger and thirst also one of the sign of a cyst

@bydeborahsavage 27 күн бұрын

Hi! I know symptoms can be different for every individual. I don't remember being extremely hungry or thirsty. But the last couple of weeks before my surgery my back started hurting a lot more, I had to go to the bathroom (number 1) more and I was losing my appetite for food. Have you made an appointment to see a doctor yet to check out and diagnose?

You’re right, feeling how it began to shrink and eventually disappear within 2 months was so liberating. I followed the steps I mentioned, and within the first 2 weeks the bloating was gone. I simply go'ogled Tilly Strankten's Ovarian Cyst Guide and it's like I hit the feel-good reset button lol.
