Recent Nissen fundoplication: Will I be normal again?

Just when I thought I might calm down after my stomach surgery, I was hit with a concern regarding multicysts on my ovary. These were discovered during that stomach surgery. Now, the doctor tells me there's more surgery in my future to remove them, my ovaries and fallopian tubes . I'm praying they turn out to be benign. There are more sleepless nights ahead. I'm looking for similar diagnoses that anyone has experienced.

@sallyvic - when it rains, it pours sometimes, huh? Argh. I am sorry. I also hope they are benign and can be removed simply or just forgotten about.
I found that personally, when I was having testing for neuroendocrine tumor, that the medical professionals just kept finding "other stuff." One neuroendocrine tumor was removed as a "polyp" in a colonoscopy, then found to be a tumor in lab testing, and I was tested for a few months in different ways (e.g., urine and blood tests, various kinds of imaging, endoscopy).
These various other "incidental" findings that came up along the way gave me frights. The good news is really they all turned out to be nothing but something to note in my chart. And the cancer turned out to be all gone with the one tumor removed at the colonoscopy, thank goodness.
I'd really encourage you to go over to the Mayo Clinic Connect Women's Health Support Group, https://connect.mayoclinic.org/group/womens-health/, and talk to some of those members about the cysts, since they have been through similar experiences.
