2nd day post op I am home now! Yay although all I find myself doing is crying?!?! Anyone else have an emotional breakdown after surgery?

you go ahead and cry girl! anesthesia can effect your body and you have just been through a ton of stress and body invasion. Crying helps your body release toxins (kind of like sweating) but also helps relieve emotional stress. I cried a few times as well, my mom just kept telling me, "get it out, don't feel bad, just get it out." I think that's good advise here. Listen and let your body do what it needs to so it can heal.

My surgeon warned me of emotional turmoil. He said my hormones would be off the hook. A week out today and so far I've been fine. Hang in there!

So glad I found this thread. I have been crying and am an emotional rollercoaster. I am 6 days post op. I love the support that this site provides. I can not say thank you enough for the real experience everyone provides that makes me feel I am not alone.

Cry? Not at all. I did my crying way beforehand. You probably have a temporary hormone thingy as hormones are released from your fat cells. Mention it to your doctor. Everyone is different.
