I am still alive

I am alive. The surgery went fine. All the information I was given was given to me while I was still in a very groggy anesthesia state so I am not sure if I remember it all but what I do remember is that he was able to remove the cyst. He said that the cyst was blocking part of my fallopian tube so there may be some damage to it but he doesn't think so. He did ovarian drilling also so hopefully that will help me ovulate too. He took pictures of all this they are kind of icky looking to me but I could scan them and put them on here if anyone is interested in seeing them. My ovaries look like they have been burned with a cigarette which is where he did the holes. Its pretty crazy looking. Anyway, I am doing ok. I am very sore but with the help of hydrocodone and ibuprofen I can tolerate it. My incisions are very small. There are three of them and they are maybe a quarter of an inch long. So I think once my insides recover from their traumatic event I will be ok. I appreciate everyone checking on me and I will keep you posted.

Surgery is tomorrow...

My surgery is tomorrow at 7:30am at North Hills Hospital in North Richland Hills. Hopefully I will be home about noon. Everyone keep your fingers crossed that this works!

Maybe it will happen this time...

I went to the new OBGYN yesterday. He asked me about all the things I have tried with the other doctors just so that he knew what was going on. He said he could remove the cyst laproscopically like my other OBGYN told me. We discussed it and he is also going to do the ovarian drilling (See below). So my surgery, provided the hospital doesn't want $2000 right away, should be Monday at North Hills Hospital. I'll let everyone know how it goes.

******Laparoscopic ovarian drilling is a surgical treatment that can trigger ovulation in women with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). Electrocautery or a laser is used to destroy parts of the ovaries.
This surgery is not commonly used. But it can be an option for women who are still not ovulating after losing weight and trying fertility medicines.
Ovarian drilling is usually done through a small incision (laparoscopy), with general anesthesia. The surgeon makes a small cut (incision) in the abdomen at the belly button. The surgeon then places a tube to inflate the abdomen with a small amount of carbon dioxide gas so that he or she can insert the viewing instrument (laparoscope) without damage to the internal organs. The surgeon looks through the laparoscope at the internal organs. Surgical instruments may be inserted through the same incision or other small incisions in the pelvic area.
