Hello everyone, I've been wandering the past few days about my apending operation to remove a 27cm cyst along with my right ovary. I had a chat with my gyni on Monday to sign off for my surgery, she told me she didnt know when I'll get the operation but she has referred me as urgent. I phoned the hospital today to find out how long I'll have to wait for surgery, and they told me I could be waiting anything from 6-12 weeks for my op! Is this normal for urgent surgery, as i am wandering If i should just go to a&e as i am in constant pain and have problems eating and constantly wanting to go to the toilet.
Edit:
Hi again, just incase someone wants to see a follow up, I'm currently 4 days post op, it ended up that the big cyst was 25cm(fluid) and was in my right fallopian tube, the other cyst was 15cm but bc of the big one, it got pushed and ended up stuck to my bowel(luckily it was able to be removed without complications and was also fluid filled) then they also found a 5cm solid cyst in my left fallopian tube, thus having had to lose both tubes but luckly everything else was saved! They had planned to cut me open vertically, from the bottom of my stomach to below my belly button, but ended up having to be cut about 6cm higher than my belly button as the was just so much going on, I have 32 staples holding the wound which is healing good so far, and pain wise, it was hard at the beginning, but after slowly moving more and getting up to walk around the ward(which is really the best thing to do to relief a bit of pain), I've been discharged on the 3rd day in hospital and I'm only taking paracetamol and ibrobrufen. I'm already slowly starting to realise some benefits of finally getting rid of the cysts, the first one is I'm finally not having to go pee every minute lol
I'm glad I got it sorted finally!
