6 months-WOW
Hi, I havn't been on the board in a while and realized it's because i've pretty much stopped thinking about my surgery. I'm right at 6 months and all of the sudden it feels like my Swelly Belly is gone!!!!!!!! I have not lost weight, but my pants are falling off!!! I'm wearing things that have waistbands and iv'e gone down a size in my pants. I'm going to try on some jeans that havn't fit for a long time as soon as i get home today, because my darn pants won't stay up!! I kept my ovaries, but was still having a lot of hormonal issues. They seem to be pretty much back to normal too! For a little while there I was regretting the whole thing. I'm only 37 and thought maybe I had over reacted. But ALL of my pain (cramps, back, everyting) is gone and i'm feeling really good. So, hang in there. If I get home and those stupid jeans fit i'll be ecstatic. It seems like i've been swollen forever, even before the surgery. So, I think it was a good decicision and if you're having doubts either before or after, I just wanted to share that it does get better. I don't even THINK about periods anymore. And since it's still only 6 months, hopefully things will keep getting better.
