Hi PB and welcome. :) I cannot add to the conversation about "fullness" but did want to peek in, say hello and welcome and good to have you here. Hoping you find answers you seek... and that sharing of your AN journey will help those newly-diagnosed in their research processes.

again, welcome.

I'm having some fullness right now, too. I've had a cold, so part of me wonders if it's related to that -- I'm also starting to tentatively sleep on my surgery side for the first time, so am wondering if some fluid is pooling in a different place now that I'm doing that...

It's always good to come on here and find that these things are common, at least.

I hope it dissipates for us both!  ;)

Thank you everyone for your feedback it helps so much.. I am just so grateful that the surgeons did not remove my sense of humor that would be very hard for me to handle...we have to remember to laugh .....

I hope yours is from a cold and will disappear so far mine has been since surgery and it is 3 months now so I just hope it is not permanent. This is so good to talk to others I am just now sleeping occasionally on the surgery side it does help that we are not alone and could talk to people that know exactly what we are going through. My friends and family look at me and say I look good but it bothers me because they do not see just how much we are hurting on the inside.. Hope you will be feeling better each day....
