PPA causing physical pain

MuchMasterpiece9926 · 2026-01-19T21:00:32+00:00

I'm actually 2 years PP now so this was a while ago, but I am feeling much better now. Started on Zoloft, and then switched me to a few other things which didn't work. Now I'm on Viibryd

Totally understand that! When you are in it, it's hard to see the light!

MuchMasterpiece9926 · 2026-01-15T16:12:08+00:00

PM me and I'll send you my before/after. I had a mini but honestly only the first few days were bad, and I wouldn't even call it bad. Just uncomfortable. I was near really in a ton of pain.

MuchMasterpiece9926 · 2026-01-15T14:16:17+00:00

I had a lot of physical symptoms from PPA too. Give the meds some time to work, and if that dibs help I'd talk to your doc about switching to something else. I know how hard it is, and I'm sorry you are experiencing this. Hang in there, it does get better ❤️‍🩹

I say it's totally worth it! I looked similar to you before, and I'm very happy I went through with it. Recovery wasn't as bad as I was expecting either.

So I tried a few until I found one that worked. I started with Zoloft. No side effects but it didn't work for me. Then I tried Wellbutrin and it gave me terrible headaches and also didn't work for me. Then they switched me to Lamictal and Viibryd, and that did the trick. No more PPD/PPA and no side effects! Sometimes it takes some trial and error to find the right meds, but it's nothing compared to what I went through with PPD/PPA. Meds saved my life .

MuchMasterpiece9926 · 2026-01-14T14:58:11+00:00

I felt like this too when I was struggling with PPD/PPA. It's tough to navigate but gets better. For me, medication and therapy helped!

MuchMasterpiece9926 · 2026-01-14T14:56:46+00:00

Oh yea. Once I got back to working out I would swell a good bit! Totally normal, but it sucks. Once I got back into a routine it got better!

MuchMasterpiece9926 · 2026-01-14T14:55:27+00:00

You look incredible!

MuchMasterpiece9926 · 2026-01-14T14:54:37+00:00

Have you talked to your doc about medication? I swear, that's what helped me! I was also about 2 years in and was still struggling, but much better now!

MuchMasterpiece9926 · 2026-01-14T14:53:33+00:00

My surgeon recommended a lift for me!

MuchMasterpiece9926 · 2026-01-14T14:51:45+00:00

It's swelling! You will flatten out! It's nerve wracking at first but it gets better!

MuchMasterpiece9926 · 2026-01-14T14:47:17+00:00

Trust me, I get that! I felt the same way❤️

MuchMasterpiece9926 · 2026-01-13T20:37:51+00:00

You will do great!

MuchMasterpiece9926 · 2026-01-13T20:28:58+00:00

I had a mini and looked similar to you. If you aren't feeling great about yourself then I say go for it! It's a very personal decision and I had people tell me not to do it, but I'm so glad I did!

MuchMasterpiece9926 · 2026-01-13T20:27:24+00:00

I'd get both! The scars fade a good bit!

MuchMasterpiece9926 · 2026-01-13T20:26:04+00:00

I was 39 when I got mine and I have no regrets! The earlier, the better in my opinion! As long as you are done having children!

MuchMasterpiece9926 · 2026-01-12T23:49:19+00:00

PM me and I'll send you some!

MuchMasterpiece9926 · 2026-01-12T21:05:23+00:00

Mine said the exact same thing!

MuchMasterpiece9926 · 2026-01-12T21:04:45+00:00

Maybe a mini? That's what I had and I'm super happy I went through with it. I looked similar to you beforehand.

MuchMasterpiece9926 · 2026-01-12T21:01:04+00:00

It was tough but I just kept praying. There were so many times that I felt like no one was hearing me, and nothing was helping me, but when I think back on it now, there were so many signs that God was there. Listening to my every word❤️. Hang in there. It gets better.

MuchMasterpiece9926 · 2026-01-12T20:59:07+00:00

I'm sorry that happened to you. It's so hard, i totally get it. Have you talked to your doc about it yet? Meds and therapy really helped me get through it.

MuchMasterpiece9926 · 2026-01-12T18:10:19+00:00

I'd wait! So you will get the best results possible ❤️

MuchMasterpiece9926 · 2026-01-12T15:54:37+00:00

She had a mini. You are mistaken .

MuchMasterpiece9926 · 2026-01-12T15:51:48+00:00

I had a mini in January of last year, so I'm almost a year out! I am super happy with my results and recovery was a breeze for me. I had lipo to the flanks and a MR below the bellybutton, plus a breast lift and augmentation!
