Good luck with the surgery and recovery, I'm sure you'll be fine! Don't worry. Sounds like you have a great doctor and lots of support.

I know it's not quite the same, but I have PCOS so I know about pesky cysts. What do those cysts think they're doing in there, anyway? That's private.

I'm a little late to the support group, but sending you thoughts for a speedy recovery! Get well soon!

(And if you had laparoscopic surgery, thoughts of not getting your belly button glued shut for 3 weeks by the dermabond/superglue like I did! LOL Ok, it is a funny story now, but boy was I a grumpy camper!)

It was laparoscopic but he didn't use any dermabond at all, just subdermal stitching. I have a nice and creepy incision inside my bellybutton and 3 dashes along my bikini line. I'm pretty sore but the meds are keeping the pain at bay for now!!

Now, tell me more about this glued shut bellybutton...

Now, tell me more about this glued shut bellybutton...

I had my gall bladder removed, not really because it needed to be yet, but that's a longer story. I only a few muscle stitches at my belly button and then all the skin ports were dermabonded... but the surgeon put so much on that it dripped into and sealed off my belly button! It held a bit of my stomach pinched together and I couldn't completely straighten up w/o it tugging if you can imagine what that'd look like. (And it stung a bit.)

I went two weeks later for my check up and this old, really nice, surgeon guy cracked up so hard he turned red. Apparently, it is not uncommon to get glue into the belly button, but he's never had it hold for longer than a week. He thought it was hysterical that at two weeks I was sealed shut... it took another week before it was loose enough for me to pry it open! (I had to ask for help too! LOL) On the other hand you can't see any scar near my belly button, but the rest have become little white annoying bumps... I guess next time I'll ask for the "pinch and glue" treatment all over!

Hope you are getting better every day!
