Hi, Ready. I am so glad you feel better. Those sad times are so hard to deal with. Good luck with your fill. I look forward to hearing about your progress. I just had my 3rd fill and it seems to be helping. Here's to hope.:thumbup:Tina

I was depressed and moody for about the first 6 weeks after surgery. Like everyone above has said, it will pass. My doc wanted to put me on antidepressants, but I declined. I wanted to work it out myself, but promised that if it went past two months I would agree to take them. BUT, I have new physical anomolies that are definately hormonal and I'm pretty upset about them. I've always had beautiful skin and been very proud of it. I took meticulous care of it. The hormone changes are ravaging my skin. I now have bumps and discolorations on my face that I've never had before. The texture of my facial skin is like sandpaper. I've started to grow fine, blond hair on my upper lip and have fine blond sideburns. I had a partial hysterechtomy about 4 years ago, so I still have my ovaries. I used to have terrible ovarian cysts that would be very painful at certain times of the month. Now they don't bother me at all. So that's nice, but it also tells me my hormones are NOT the same. My hair is also falling out. Not bad, just thinning. My OB/GYN is a putz. I asked him about all this when I was there for my annual and mammogram, and he basically blew me off. Didn't even order a test of my homone levels. (I guess I need to find a new one) I sure would like to know so I can begin some type of natural therapy with soy, herbs, evening primrose oil or something. I have no idea how much would be needed. Any naturopaths out there?

Go for a female doc. I've always had better luck with female doctors.

Hippiemama · April 28, 2008

I have been thinking about you lately Ready, how have you been feeling? have things started leveling out?

For the most part- I have smoked a few ciggerettes which I quit months and months before the surgery but it's nothing compared to that one particular week of my fill, but I am still kinda up and down.

The up is more than down though. I entered my first art show in years and years. Trying to find new outlets for stress. Talking back a little more to people, but only when they need it. :biggrin:

Thank you all.

I too went through those emotions after surgery. But I was also having my period at the same time as my surgery. Which was bad. However, that was a few months ago for me now. And let me just say that it does pass. Right now, I'm the best I have been in a long time. Which is saying something considering my history.
