Ovarian cysts bloat and the band



Recommended Posts

I was just wondering if anyone had experience with ovarian cysts ? A few weeks ago my dr did a scan and found a cyst on my left ovary. It’s not PCOS and my dr. thinks that it is a corpus luteum that just didn’t break down one cycle after ovulation. It’s been a few weeks and I have to go for a follow up scan to see if it has dissolved, and if not what course of action should be taken. Anyway I have had this horrible bloated feeling that feels like pms bloat that just won’t go away and my pants feel tighter and the numbers on the scale have stopped moving. Anyone who has had a similar experience? The real problem being just like before i start my period it is difficult to eat anything solid with the bloat

Hi! I had an ovarian cyst burst this past November. It was SO painful and I was so sick, they were literally prepping me for surgery to have my appendix out. They did a CT scan to make sure it was appendicitis, and they saw the remains of the burst cyst instead. My doctor put me on Nuvaring continuously (no skipping a week to have a period--darn :thumbup:) because he said it will help keep the cysts away and it's really compatible with the Lap Band. That has helped tremendously with the bloaty feeling and I haven't had anymore pain. Good luck with everything! I hope you and your doctor can find something that works wonderfully for you!

I had a hysterechtomy in 2003. After that I still had problems with ovarian cysts. They tried all the hormone therapies. They did work, but they would eventually come back. At times it was horible. The bloat. The pain and tenderness. I kept thinking they should have taken my ovaries when they had the chance. anyway. I've lost about 70 pounds with the band, and I have to say... After losing about 50 pounds all my symptoms have gone away and haven't returned. It seems the weight made that whole issue worse. I haven't had any pain or bloating in MONTHS. It's so nice...

Aubrie- I am so glad to hear that weight loss has helped ur symptoms ! I am hopeful that continued weight loss and hormones can help me since dh and I aren't done having children ( not by choice anyway). My dr. seems to be dragging his feet in getting back to me. Not like I am in pain or anything !:thumbup:

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
