Laprascopy Surgery? Weight Loss? Cyst?
If I have this surgery to remove a complex (a least 5cm) cyst that has gone unchecked by sonorgram since October (will be rechecked this week).....then can I possibly lose weight after surgery? I go months, even a year or so, with a period because of this reoccuring cyst and so it has obviously caused a major hormonal imbalance. Is it typically common to lose a bit of weight? I was always very frail as a child and growing up and then when this happened I have gained a lot of weight in my lower abdomen...and nowhere else! I can't help but think this cyst is causing this. Anybody else out there share this problem...or had surgery and had some significant weight loss afterwards? Thanks and yes I do work out but a cyst permits hormonal imbalance so there is only so much I can medically do to prevent weight gain. I don't have pcos just one cyst

- TexasGirl, my deepest sympathies to you, I understand your trepidation. The one issue I want to address is that a sonographically complex cyst has a very specific meaning. This cyst MUST be excised/biopsied and the the adjacent adnexal regions must be adequately explored, laparascopically to exclude a serious situation. This is where I'm particularly concerned. If, however, the cyst were simple, even at 5 cm (depending on age, of course), I'd feel far differently, so my only advice to you is that you must as a matter of appropriate care, go through with the surgery and ideally it will be nothing of any concern. If, however, it is something serious, the sooner you have the issue addressed, then the sooner you can begin treatment should this be something of clinical significance. I wish you the very best in your surgery and wish you a successful and speedy recovery.
