Well, that took longer than I expected. I had read about several women reporting "post-surgical depression" after their SRS. As I have a history of pretty major depression, I knew it was something I wanted to watch out for. I stayed at my boyfriend's place for three weeks of my recovery specifically because I was worried about being alone while I was still physically not up to too much. I figured that once I got to eight weeks post-op, and back to work, and was feeling so much better physically that I would be past the danger-zone.

I was wrong.
