Recent Nissen fundoplication: Will I be normal again?

For what it’s worth, @sallyvic being 82 is an accomplishment to celebrate! You remind me of my dad who at 95, recently expanded his financial planning out to age 115 because like you, he has something ahead of him he is aiming for. I love that you plan to take after your mother who is 106. You can do it!
- So, your twisted stomach has been fixed and you don’t know what “normal” will look like.
- Doctors found a cyst on your ovary or fallopian tube.
* How may 82 year olds already are missing ovararies and/or fallopian tubes?
* Finding the cyst is what gives you the best chance of moving past it. What great news.
- Your mom is 106 and you plan to be. What great genes you have.
Have you been through difficult situations in your past, and if so how did you do it?

@jlharsh - you are so right! You do sound like you have great genes and like you are keeping on top of your own health, @sallyvic. Kudos to you.
Depending on what happens when you get further details on the cyst you mentioned that is on your ovary or fallopian tube, here is another Mayo Clinic Connect discussion you might check out:

There are also more recent discussions on ovarian cysts, but they have more specifics that may or may not pertain to your situation. You might check out all the discussions in this Mayo Clinic Connect group and see what might be a good fit for that situation:

Back to your anxiety related to the surprise stomach surgery and your concerns about getting back to normal again, especially related to diet ... How is this going today? Has your surgeon or your primary care doctor considered putting you on an antianxiety medication for the meantime?
