Re: One week to go....
First off, you emotions intensifying and your freakouts as your surgery date approaches is very normal. This is one tough surgery to face. You are not going insane! Vent away.... it is safe to do here. We are here for you, sweetie, and really understand what you are going through.
Regarding keeping one ovary. That may or may not be possible, but you can ask your doctor if it is. They usually like to keep the ovaries in, if they are healthy and if it makes sense from your family history and personal health stand point. BUT, this is best left to a discussion between you and your doctor.
I lost everything - tubes, ovaries, uterus, and cervix - and I have not gained weight after my surgery. I exercise every day and eat a healthy diet. I also am on HRT as surgical menopause was way too miserable for me.
Good luck to you...
