Surgery experiences? I'm nervous...

Hi,

I'm new to this site... Next week I am going for surgery for a endometrioma (10cm) which may be a Borderline Ovarian Tumor. I am nervous because they don't know what it is for sure and one doctor said there is a chance they may have to remove the ovary and do a laparotomy instead of laparoscopy if they get in there and think it is malignant. Also my sister had a really bad surgery experience recently with extreme pain post surgery and I'm anxious about that side of things.

Has anyone here done surgery for endometrioma or borderline ovarian tumor removal? What were your experiences? What is the pain and mobility after surgery like in recovery?

I'd be really grateful to hear your stories. Thanks :)
