Hello, I would really like to hear from any ladies who have undergone bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy surgery. I am especially interested in how your recovery was?
My gynae consult told me it would be a day surgery (surgery itself 1 hour). Afterwards I should rest for 2 days and could then go back to work (which is pretty much desk bound). Does this sound realistic to you? In fact i'll have 4 days recovery after surgery before returning to work (and I only work 2 days per week).
I am well recovered from chemo/mastectomy & TRAM recon/axilliary lymph node removal/radiation which I underwent last year.
I would love to hear your experiences and whether this recovery sounds feasible.
How big are your scars? Do they bother you at all? I already have a huge TRAM scar across my abdomen so the idea of more scars doesn't fill me with joy, but i'll happily take the scars if it increases my odds of sticking around a bit longer!
I would welcome any comments/feedback/tips you can offer - the good and the bad. I have found the online forum to be invaluable when making these life/body-chaging decisions.
Health & happiness,
SGMH xx
