Emotional

[minmin06 1]

Hello

My surgery was Tuesday, everything went GREAT, now that i am home i find myself extremely emotional. Is this just a stage? Has anyone else had this? I dont know why but for no reason ill start to cry and my fiance wants to help but i just dont know why im crying so much.

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.

My surgery was Tuesday also...my problem is not the depression, but the pain management. It makes me frustrated.

I cry easily. I am 5 days post surgery. I mourn food.< /p>

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.

I'm 4 days out from surgery and was super emotional yesterday all is ok with that now but I'm in pain n sleeping all the time. When can I look forward to being a functioning human again? I NEVER expected it to be this hard n I'm not a wimp.

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.

Thank u. I'm now almost 8 weeks post-op n I'm feeling absolutely AMAZING. I have so much energy n I've lost 45 lbs to date????????. That thankfully was the last day and only day I felt all that anxiety. I cudnt be happier about this decision I made.
