Im glad you got through the hard parts, because as a newly post op, i know it can be frustrating and tiring to even do the simple things in life.

Guest guest Report post Posted September 27, 2003 Your post worries me. Because I keep fighting to have this surgery and keep trying to think positive, but I am a very depressed and have been suicidal before just in my regular life since teen years. So how serious are you when you say your immediate recovery was so bad you were close to suicidal? I think this is and issue I want more information on...Thanks, Traci > Vicki > > I had nausea and severe depression from day one till about 8 weeks post-op.

I mean, I definately > like myself better with clothes on, for example. > > Marta ----------------------- Sister your singing to the choir on this one...I can soooo relate. In fact I think I have a " slight " insite to how an anorexic can see themselves as FAT when they are dying of starvation...I might have " fat Flashes " ...but what make me different from an anorexic...I'm not afraid to eat.
