Best of luck with your surgery martinkap.

I have no experience with this type of surgery (actually very little surgery except for cyst removal behind my ear as a child).

It sounds as if your core strength will be affected...but because you are already physically active for awhile prior to surgery, you will recover abit faster. But take it slow according to what doctor advises.

One of my sisters had her ovary removed due to cyst, when she was in her early 20's. But she still had 2 children later on in her late 20's. They are both now full grown healthy adults.
