    Sad Post Surgery Depression ...

    I'm all about making things short and sweet so I'll do my best here to describe the hell I am emotionally and physically going through.

    August...had a laprascopic procedure under General to remove a cyst on my fallopian tube (2nd time around doing this procedure).

    September (2 weeks post-op to date)... Revision lipo/fat transfer to my Right Inner thigh where I had a dent down to the muscle. Everybody said they didn't notice and that I didn't need to do it, but I was VERY self-concious so I did it for my state of well-being. Also, as mentioned in another thread, I had some of the fat transfered and injected into my lips. Not too much but the swelling was horrific and painful. They are looking better day by day and I am sure I will be happy with results.

    So, anyone who has had surgery knows how the drugs and side effects of healing, swelling, recovery really f*cks with your emotions. Plus to top it off I am having the period of a lifetime. PRobably a physical reaction to all the surgery. Oh, and the constipations from the pain meds. OMG, I look 4 months pregnant from IBS and a slow moving GI tract.

    My husband has been a dickhead because I look funny with my swollen ducky lips. He isn't being cute about it either like my friends and family are being.
    So, I feel generally unattractive and fat (from post op swelling and period bloat) and have monkey lips. Boohoo. This sucks but I also feel like I shouldn't complain...I did it to myself but I still need a shoulder to lean on and my husband is being an ass right now. I want my mommy!

    Poor baby...my shoulders aren't too big, but here they are for ya!

    You know you'll get over it, once everything settles down and your body returns to normal. And you can complain all you want...shouldn't matter if it's necessary or cosmetic, it still sucks and hurts and makes you depressed and crabby so grip away honey!

    I might take you up on that...nothing makes me feel better than spending my husband's paycheck when I'm disgruntled with him

    Well, I'm feeling a wee little bit better today. I'm 4 lbs away from post op weigh so the swelling is going down. But let me tell you, with this type of surgery, you can be super "Kate Moss" skinny one day and the Marshmellow Man from Ghostbuster's the next day.

    You are already on the right track as long as you know your mood is a normal reaction to all the drugs. Maybe your hubby needs to be reminded of this so he can be a little more supportive right now. All your feelings, and bloatings are normal and just part of the healing process. It will all pass soon and everything will be okay.
