Hi! I was wondering how was your recovery after you removed that large cyst which was thankfully benign? I heard that in two weeks I should be able to be back to normal activities since it’s laparoscopic surgery. I would like to hear more about your recovery after surgery. Thanks.

Hi, I had to have a total hysterectomy, partly because of my age/menopausal status (age 52), prenatal diethylstilbestrol (DES) exposure, and a slightly elevated CA-125 score. I had surgery and was out of the hospital in 2 days, which the surgeon said was a remarkable recovery. I didn't have any trouble with anesthesia. I wasn't supposed to drive for 6 weeks but I used maybe only 1/3 of pain killers. I went back to work virtually after 2 weeks, but felt very alert from the beginning.
So you will have a much easier surgery and recovery; sorry I can't be more helpful about a laparoscopy, but I'm sure it will go well. Surgical techniques keep making advances.
