Depression 13 days post op



Recommended Posts

I am currently 13 days post op, and i cant seem to shake the sadness and regret away. i have been reading and people say that it is normal to feel this way but all i have done all day is lay in bed. im just so sick of this liquid diet which i still have to go through for another 5 days (doctors reccomendation). I feel like i am going crazy and all i want is to reverse the procedure..

@@henna2010 Get out and take a walk or do a little shopping! It's very normal (hormones are out of control). If it goes on for much longer - or gets worse - be sure to talk to your Dr. - you may need some short term anti-depressants. Feel better soon!

I did try to go out but did not really help much, i still did not feel that happiness, i was a jolly person and all i feel now is that this sugery sucked it all out from me. Im hoping and praying this pass soon. Thanks for all your support, my next plan of action is to go and talk to a psychiatrist as suggested by my doctor.

Hi @@GACaldwell thanks for checking in, it was exactly a month post op yesterday. Over all i am feeling a lot better allthough there are still days where i dont feel like consuming anything and just want to stay in bed all day. On the possitive note i went shopping and could fit into all the items i tried out (never would have been possible few months back) and that was the first moment where the regret went away for a while.

      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!
