Depression/ Moodiness After Tummy Tuck

760433anon
I had a tummy tuck 2 1/2 weeks. It has gone much better than I expected and I assume I will be delighted with the end result. In the past few days I have been very easy to upset, sad, crying over stupid stuff and "flying off the handle" in a manner that is very unusual for me. I have to return to work(tough job) and really feel that I need another week or two go get myself together- but this is not an option. Does any of this make any sense and do you have any suggestions that might help?
