This is my third day post op and I’m so depressed. My boyfriend is here walking around like I don’t exist. I’m crying from physical and mental pain. You would think after seeing me lying here he would ask how I’m doing or if I need anything. Not him..I just don’t know what to do at this point....just needed to vent since he’s not talking to me..

Walter, please go and see your psychiatrist. It’s okay to feel depressed. Just need to have a way of releasing it in a healthy and positive way.

That’s true. It could be the assurance

It's more than reassurance. From reading here, I'd be the bad husband... It's just me. But when we got together, I made commitment to him - a commitment I'm going to honor. But I also have to state that this journey is not ALL ABOUT ME. It's about him as well. This is going to effect his life as much as mine. It effects my parents as well. Same goes for my employees who I make a weekly habit of buying lunch.

I have to be as appreciative and grateful, publicly and honestly, about their support, as they are supportive of me.

I read somewhere that after surgery hormones can be also be out of balance, it’s a major surgery and many changes take place while we recover. If your symptoms continue, speak with your surgeon first.

I take medicine for my depression. I used to go to a psychologist, and things were getting better. I stopped seeing him and now I feel like killing someone.

Maybe go back then???? I just starting seeing a new psychiatrist last week and I no longer have insomnia!! It was the best move I've made. My precious one, since 2013 just couldn't figure out how to fix my insomnia. So I fired her...lol


Best wishes!

You are so strong. I know this because anyone who chooses this surgery has to have great strength. If you are exclusive with him and he didn’t come to the hospital, you deserve so much better!!! I’m five days post op and we are probably going through many of the same feelings and i know this is a brutal time to make huge changes... but you’re about to go though some amazing and positive changes. If he can’t be there for you through the tough stuff... do you really want him to be able to have the good stuff? There’s another guy out there who wants both. Praying for you and no matter what happens, you’re going to get through this and you’re going to feel amazing is every way. I know it!!!!
