Danielle wrote a blog post about the emotional hardships of the surgery and how her body is changing. She shared, “I’m noticing changes in my body since the surgery. I can feel my organs shifting and finding new spaces to rest. It’s not painful per se but it’s a bit weird and alarming at times. My belly looks so different to me now,” and shared that her “old physique is now gone and I have a new physical form.”
