Post surgery - the good and the bad

Howdy all, though I would write some stuff down about surgery. I'm stoked! I have a flat chest it's looking a bit lumpy and may stay that way but we're not sure yet as it's only been 4 weeks. I may need to have a revision but a year of losing weight and working out will inform me of that!
I love my chest, I love being able to wear what I want and not have people stare at me, though the occasional person still does. Some people still 'see me' sometimes :)

The pain is almost gone, there is just now discomfort from a bit of swelling, plus the stitches reduce my capacity to move. The stitches are dissolving ones that are underneath the skin (to reduce scarring) and take up to the 3 months to dissolve so no gym till then, which is frustrating but I can walk at least!
Another effect is that I'm experiencing a bit of the post surgical blues, which I know is often quite normal. It can be due to the effect of the anesthetic plus the reduced capacity to do anything physical. It's really unfortunate at this time that my work contract ended just before surgery and now I'm looking for a new job as I only have a few hours casual work. So there are a few things going on for me, I know this is all affecting me and making me blue and I know also, that it will pass! Unfortunately, it leads to a serious lack of motivation to do anything at all!

Has anyone else experienced this after surgery?

Post chest surgery update!

Well folks, I had chest sugery last week with Dr. Bartholomeusz, I haven't seen the outcome yet as the bandages are still on and the drains are still in, but await updates!
It went really well except for waking up vomiting and the ensuing pain afterwards, however it's been kept at bay with the right drugs and now it's just over a day till the drains come out!
I will post some pics once I'm healing up :)
