Hi everyone. I have a dermoid cyst removal op next week. ahhhh.. its 5x6x7 apparently when measured, but i know sometimes they can get it wrong. This is the first time (apart from having my boys) that ive been into hospital having an operation, i am so terrified, infact i will probably be like a baby when i go in next week and im 39.

I wondered if anyone could give me some positive stories. I have not been sick for 21 years and i hate it, i have been told the anesthetic and anti sickness will be fine and stop this happening??? and to try not have any pain relief. Im also scared if they find anything sinister in this cyst.

I just dont know how im going to get through the waiting to be called down, im such a nervous wreck about it all.

Glad your op went well, I am waiting for the same operation, I have been on the waiting list since may last year, how long did you wait until you got your op date? Also, my surgeon said I'd need 2 weeks off work to recover but I didn't ask about driving after, is that also 2 weeks do you know? Hope you don't mind all the questions 😅

Did you have your op? How do it go? I’m on the waiting list now and terrified - mine is about the size of an orange 🍊
