Has anyone had excessive vaginal cysts since their surgery>

I had my VBG March 27,2001. Starting in May I developed several cysts on my vulva. I had to be hospitalized the first time this happened and put on IV antibiotics. Since then I have had them on 4 more separate occasions. They are very painful and can be up to the size of a golf ball. I usually have to go and have them incised and drained and then be put on antibiotics and pain meds. My ob/gyn thinks it is from the rapid weight loss (70lbs in 4 months). She also thinks it is a form of folliculitis. I can't seem to get any more information about it, and I don't think she is really sure either. I have been out of work so much as the cysts are so painful that I cannot bear walking or sitting down sometimes....at this point I am afraid I might get fired. I would love to hear from anyone else with this dilemma or anything similar.
