I had my first post-op check up in Iowa City today. My staples were removed and I was given the final pathology report on what they found from my surgery. Everything was benign. There was a fibroid in my uterus and the cysts were 15 cm around and 8 cm around. I lost 14 pounds from pre-op to post-op today. I think most of it was from the cysts that were removed.
I asked about the driving restriction of 6 weeks and Dr. Maasen said I could drive when I can step on the brakes hard and not worry about pain. Hopefully that will be in about 2 weeks. Right now I can't even sneeze all the way because of the pain. I'm figuring that when I can sneeze all the way I can drive. I also asked about going to the state fair next month and she said I should be fine; just pay attention to my body and rest when I need to and stay hydrated. I do that already so it shouldn't be too hard.
Dr. Maasen said that because I was doing so well I don't need to come back for any more follow-up appointments. Whoo-hoo!
