I have to have a radical hysterectomy with lymph node and ovary removal too - stage 1b1. My surgeon said as I am over weight and type 2 diabetic he can’t decide between open or laparoscopic. I’m 39 and BMI was 37 at the time. I’m on a huge health kick (protein high and lots of fresh salad and vegetables) so hoping by the time my surgery comes (the 2nd week in September) I will have lost a bit. Has anyone had this done whilst being over weight. I’m still quite active have 4 children, an active job and walk everywhere getting 10000 steps in almost always. Just looking for some real life similar situations and experiences. Thank you
