Will the removal of my ovarian dermoid cyst make my weight or wasitline decrease?

I’m having surgery to remove a 21cm x 11cm (8” x 5") dermoid cyst on my right ovary. To me this seems like a fairly large sized piece of mass they will be removing and my question was whether this procedure was going to make my weight or more importantly my waistline smaller … I have a wedding dress which has already been fitted and was seeing if I needed to schedule another fitting.

Good lord, woman! I got a dermoid at the age of 13 and dropped to the floor after school one day, throwing up and moaning. I had to get a Stat surgery to remove it, and it was only 9 cm. How your ovary hasn’t burst is a miracle, and I wish you a good recovery!
You will most definitely lose weight. Not only is it likely the equivalent of giving birth to a baby (that cyst is huge!), but the recovery from surgery will be stressful on your body, and you won’t be eating much while recovering. I remember returning to school and getting rumors about being anorexic.
I would schedule another fitting about 2 months after surgery. That was about when I could walk like a normal person. Best of luck!
