update and swell HELL!!!

Hi guys, hope everyone is doing well..... Well as you all know I have been struggling lately with feeling pretty bad. Well I went to the dr last week, and she ran labs. All my labs look good except my iron I was at a 23. So I am very healthy, but need to take iron 3x a day for 3 months to get my iron count back up. So a diagnosis finally!!! Well my swelling is really bad I just posted a picd I look like I have pot beer belly!!! I feel 8 mo pregnant. I think I might call my PS tommorrow and see if they will prescribe me some water pills to reduce the swelling. I am so uncomfortable. I tell ya if it's not one thing it's another. I was doing so good pre op.....I still don't regret doing this, but it's been a rough recovery!!! Well enough of my griping my new job that I started on Monday is going very well, I like my new office. hugs to all.........Erin

Glad you love your new job Erin! Congrats!! As for the swelling, I have heard this is SO common! You might ask Maeghan on our board about it. I see people post about it all the time, looks very uncomfortable though. I am thinking of you and sending you well wishes.. keep us posted and get your rest when u aren't working. Hugs

Erin... I love you! It looks like the swelling has gone to your "boobs"! I know that you feel horrible so I'm hoping that the belly swelling stops ASAP. Good to hear that additional iron will help you get back to your pre-PS energy level. You look adorable...and FIRM...love your hair... Oh, did I mention.... Very Busty BBs!!!! Kudos on the new job!!! XOXOXO Ro

Hey, Erin... Hope that you are feeling better this week. How's the swelling? Ro
