Hello, I'm 24 year old female. I recently found out that I have an ovarian cyst the size of 17cm on my left ovary. Doctor said it's most likely that my whole left ovary will have to go. I'm really scared, terrified even, because I'm morbidly obese and I have to have a laparotomy to remove the cyst and I've never had any kind of surgery, ever. I'm scared of the complications of the surgery during and after and I just wanted to know if there was any other women out there who are or went through the surgery who are also "fluffy" like me? I appreciate any info. Many thanks in advance.
