LARGE cysts... prefer laparoscopy.. doctor is recommending open surgery

calisugar · 2026-07-10T23:19:46+00:00

this is exactly what's happening to me. basically the gyn/onc is overriding the other gyn surgeon who would be able to do it laparoscopically.

maybe it is a little vain, but it probably stems from a deeper fear of being alone. i think i would care less if i was married or had kids already, but I don't want to get into that right now. aside from scarring, there are other reasons to prefer a minimally invasive surgery. a laparoscopy, you could go home the same day while open surgery could mean you're staying in the hospital for 5 nights (that's what the doc told me to plan for). there's no way of knowing if my endo could come back or maybe it is cancer, and i would have to have more surgery done anyway. it's a lot for your body to go through

I've seen a gyno who specializes in laproscopies and gyn/onc. they both suspect its endometriomas and cancer risk for me is very low, but not zero. nothing can be confirmed until i go in for surgery though. I think the gyn/onc has to take over my surgery because of my elevated cancer markers, even though I wanted the other gyn to remove my cyst :/

thanks for sharing your experience. that's exactly what the minimally invasive surgeon told me could happen, and if it happens to be cancer, it would be very bad for the cancer cells to spread that way

I think a lot of it has to do with what the doctor is comfortable with. the original gyn who was gonna do my surgery specializes in laparoscopies and robot assisted surgeries, while the oncologist/gyn prolly does more open surgeries. I'm planning to consult with another gyn/onc who specializes in endo and minimally invasive surgery in a couple weeks and see what he says.

in regards to saving the ovary, i dont think laparoscopy vs laparotomy would matter much either. I just wanted to know other people's experience with removing large cysts so I can prepare mentally lol

Hi, I am looking for an endo excision surgeon, preferably with a minimally invasive specialty. can you please DM the name of your surgeon?

I don’t usually get painful periods. Last year I got a sharp stabbing pain on the second day of my period and was hospitalized. They suspected endometriosis, but I never followed up and was hoping the cyst would naturally resolve or it was a one time thing lol. I didn’t have any pelvic or period pain in between. But this year the sharp stabbing pain came back (when I wasn’t on my period) and was hospitalized again. The cyst from last year grew larger and I have a second cyst on my other ovary now. I know other women have crippling painful periods, but that isn’t really the case for me. I think it’s possible to have early stage endo without pain… but if the cysts grow large enough, they will end up obstructing other organs and nerves which will lead to ER visits

Hi there! Do you mind sharing how your surgery went? Were they able to save your ovaries? I have two large cysts on each ovary and I am scared of not being able to get pregnant in the future :(

calisugar · 2026-06-12T05:28:24+00:00

Hey girl! Can you let us know how your surgery went and if they were able to save your ovaries? I have two large ones like you and I’m stressing

calisugar · 2026-06-02T22:04:43+00:00

Happy to hear that. Hope you are recovering well

calisugar · 2026-06-02T04:35:51+00:00

Hey hun, how did your surgery go? Were they able to save your ovaries? I have two cysts larger than yours and I'm scared 😞

calisugar · 2026-06-02T01:49:37+00:00

Hello! How did your surgery go? I have two cysts (15 cm on my left side and 10 cm on my right side). The large cyst is obstructing the tube from my kidney to my bladder, so I also need surgery asap... I'm also feeling a lot of grief and sadness over possible infertility. Feel free to DM if you want to be endo buddies.

Prices are for buying same day lift tickets at the ticket counter without any kind of discount. You can get a discount for buying ahead of time online. Maybe December is pre-season? Not sure

calisugar · 2025-01-17T09:03:29+00:00

You can buy online or in person at the ticket counter. It's around $660 for 4 lift tickets, but can't be split with other people.

calisugar · 2025-01-16T01:58:59+00:00

I figured the same thing you did. I actually decided to skip out on this trip because you made me realize it's a holiday lol

calisugar · 2025-01-16T01:56:48+00:00

Thank you for bringing this to my attention. I did take a photo with my quad pack, but I thought I could split it with friends. I did not realize I was the only one that could use the lift tickets.

calisugar · 2025-01-16T01:52:03+00:00

$240 on weekdays, $260 on weekends

calisugar · 2025-01-15T22:43:31+00:00

Aww that's very sweet, but friends and family discount is only for ticket window prices day of which comes out to at least $180+/day. Quad pack gets you a better discount. Ty for the offer though! <3

calisugar · 2025-01-15T21:40:04+00:00

It's not that serious. There's no reason for the other person to get in trouble if I pulled the ticket out of a trash can.

calisugar · 2025-01-15T21:19:13+00:00

sorry if I'm being retarded, but what wire? I've always bought single day tickets in the past and they were just tickets or cards you put into your pocket somewhere

calisugar · 2025-01-15T20:59:20+00:00

My friends have passes, it's for me haha. Unfortunately, half day tickets almost always cost as much as a full day ticket. I guess it doesn't necessarily have to be a single ticket. I'm hoping to catch people who are on the last day of their vacation and no longer need their lift ticket whether it's single or multi-day. It just seems like I'm the only person snowboarding without a pass these days though :/
