The most significant categories in the answers from the ones being tested were manifestations and feelings of daptation, resignation and affective bond.The manifestation of anger and suffering shown by subjects D and E were only mentioned in this study, not being considered categories. The feeling shown by subjects A, B and C show an acceptance of their reality as rehabilitated from a surgical procedure, in the attempt of decreasing the psycho suffering caused by the mutilation and adaptation to the new status quo, fact which was observed for not appearing in the answers feeling such as revolt and guilty, which are mentioned in the review of literature as characteristics of subjects who suffered a surgical intervention. It is noticed that family support is a determinant fact to accept the new reality.
