If you are taking pain meds they are a despressent and that is what might be causing you to have the blues.

Also anasteagia can cause the depressing feeling you have.

It should go away but if it doesn't or it would make you feel more secure then contact your surgeon about the depression and crying.

Feel better and take care.

Nope. I am a month out and I have difficulty watching Long Island Medium without crying. I don't feel depressed or anything, I just feel overly emotional.

I agree with Chelly. Whenever I've taken pain meds I feel so happy and floaty for two or three days then start to get very weepy and sensitive. If it goes beyond a pain med side effect you should seek medical attention.

I am 3 weeks postoperative and cried constantly the first 10 days--then it just disappeared and am back to my baseline. It should pass--but if it doesn't you should discuss with your surgeon.

It took me around five weeks before I was pain free. I don't know when I stopped being emotional. All I know is it was there and then one day it was gone.

I am almost three months out. My case could be different. Well, we are all different, of course. I do not work and have Rheumatoid Arthritis and other illnesses so things were a bit rougher for me. They still are.

I'm 9 weeks out and realized the pain meds were making me feel depressed too. Once I stopped the pain meds, I felt better. It also is just very common post op after anesthesia. Hang in there it will pass.

      Oh yeah, something I wanted to rant about, a billing dispute that cropped up 3 months ago.
      Surgery was in August of 2023. A bill shows up for over $7,000 in January. WTF? I asks myself. I know that I jumped through all of the insurance hoops and verified this and triple checked that, as did the surgeon's office. All was set, and I paid all of the known costs before surgery.
      A looong story short, is that an assistant surgeon that was in the process of accepting money from my insurance company touched me while I was under anesthesia. That is what the bill was for. But hey, guess what? Some federal legislation was enacted last year to help patients out when they cannot consent to being touched by someone out of their insurance network. These types of bills fall under something called, "surprise billing," and you don't have to put up with it.
      https://www.cms.gov/nosurprises
      I had to make a lot of phone calls to both the surgeon's office and the insurance company and explain my rights and what the maximum out of pocket costs were that I could be liable for. Also had to remind them that it isn't my place to be taking care of all of this and that I was going to escalate things if they could not play nice with one another.
      Quick ending is that I don't have to pay that $7,000+. Advocate, advocate, advocate for yourself no matter how long it takes and learn more about this law if you are ever hit with a surprise bill.

      Some days I feel like an infiltrator... I'm participating in society as a "thin" person. They have no idea that I haven't always been one of them! 🤣

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!
