PIP Implants removed 17/6/13

WORTH IT$3,900
Hi all
Today I have had my PIP Implant removal operation and I feel fantastic. I feel so free. I was not sure it would go ahead as I still have a trace of blood in my urine. The doctor put me on a 3 day course of antibiotics but its still there. I will go back to GP in a few days and repeat the test, if its still there then I guess they will invstigate further. It cant be much as I feel good and have no obvious health issues so I am hopeful all will be Ok. I am so happy it went ahead. I was not actually scared at all until THE DAY. It has been a wonderful day, so good. I have had to go private as my original PS was Based in Hungary. He did a good job with no problems and I had no complaints they were just sold inferior implants but I guess there are lots of unhappy and frightened ladies calling or emailing with questions, so maybe they closed shop. I dont know I gave up emailing and trying to make contact. My emails to them kept coming back by the post master as failed to send. I took out a British Medical Institute loan and paid for it myself. I pay over 6 months interest free. It cost £4000 but it is worth it. It cost less to have them put in lol.
As usual before a blood pressure check mine was up. I am always a bit nervous as I know its going to go up and then they will think I have high blood pressure which I dont usually. Also I expected the OP to be cancelled because of the urine test with the trace of blood and I so wanted it done today and I had starved myself since last night
: ( Anyway they got the results from my GP for the urine test which showed I had NO infection but di still have the blood but the OP went ahead as as planned. I am telling you my treatment was fantastic. I have never gone private before and its a bit more expensive but well worth it : ) The care I received was faultless. the staff were so kind and helpful.
I went into to theatre at 10.10am happily and woke up in recovery at about 12.20. I was in No pain at all but I did have a bit of a red rash where my stitches dressings were, Happily the that went away after about 1/2 an hour. I cant believe I have absolutely no nasty effects of the anaesthetic just a bit sleepy . No sickness. When I asked why no ill effects they said they use better medicine these days that dont make you feel like that. I was not desperate for a drink. Water not alcohol lol. I went back to my room had water and a cup of tea then lunch. Vegtable soup. jacket potatoe with cheese and beans and strawberry ice cream. It was delicious.
My Implants are now out and it is a fantastic feeling. I am so happy. My incisions are a littl bit sore but thats to be expected. My PIP were intact but will a little gel spill nothing much. I did not need a lift so that was good. I have always worn a bra to keep even my little breasts where they belong be even before my implant procedure. I have not looked at them yet as I know they will be flat as a pancake right now so I will look Tuesday the 25th when I have my stitches removed. Hense I do not have any photos yet. I got my husband to take a pre op photo on my phone in the hospital this morning and will post these as soon I have the new ones taken . I will tell you one thing that has really amazed me. I had been told my implants were 270cc and for 4 years I have always accepted this and on explant they are both 205cc which I am really happy about. Why would they misinform me? I can see no reason.
I have always thought they were too big at 270cc and wished I had gone smaller. I thik I was about 32B to start or perhaps very small B and ended up full C or small D. I hated them.
I was slouching so much and that seems improved. I know I am from the UK and I have really appreciated all of your kind words and I will keep you updated with my progress and add photos as soon as but I will need help from my husband as I dont know how to do it.
Anyone considering this surgery should go ahead if they really want it and do not be afraid. Mine will be small again I know but its such lovely feeling just knowing the implants are no longer a part of my life. My procedure was complication free with removal of Implants only. They gave me them back lol. I said I would sell them on Ebay lol. Not really : ) I am one truly lady happy today. No pain yet but I guess a little may come in the Incision area, Pain I expect to come to be honest but I have medication to help.
If anyone has any questions I can help with please ask thank you you all sincerely for your support.
One very very happy explanted lady.

Hey, congratulations on making it to the other side :o) You sound so happy. Its lovely to hear. I'm having my PIPs removed on 1st July. I've waited 18 months so I'm so relieved I'm nearly there. I've had no major health issues too. I wanted them removed before I found out I had Pips in Jan 2012. Once I had scans and found out I was ok, I continued breastfeeding until my son finished, which he did in Jan. I look forward to the day I can tell you all I've made it. Look forward to your updates. Take care x
Hi, I am so happy everyone is saying i sound that way my sister says im a bit hypa. I think its just like getting my life back. It is day 3 now and everything is fantastic. No pain at all. I am on celecoxib non steroid anti inflammatry ans they are causing a little water retention but not much ive had to take my rings off my fingers as i dont want to have them cut off and I am still waering my support socks and I will until I finish these tablets. I know you will be really happy. Funny thing is I see ladies posting their pictures on the first day and I am not bothered at all yet. I am looking forward to Tuesday when my stitches come out then I will take pictures. I was luckt too with no health issues just a little gel bleed and no rupture. I am happy to have got them out and have not once felt any regret. I have had a peep down the front of my support bra and although small they look a nice shape. I am still probably only an A cup but little tops are going to look so much nicer and if I need to I will get a gel bra or something for an evening out in a nice dress. My daughter lost some weight as she joined the gym so ahe gave me all of her nice bra sets then last week she said if the bras dont fit after your op can I have the decent ones back lol now thats recycling. Well I am happy to say ive tried one over the top of this sports bra and they are massive. Iam going to let nature take its course and repair slowly. I am trying not to tense my muscles in my chest as they still contract but I am pretty sure that gets better over time. Your operation is coming up very soon I just kept really busy and made lots of meals and froze them which is a good idea as I dont want to be mashing potatoes right now. I hope you sail thrugh your surgery like me. I feel fantastic like a new person really. My my husband hugged me I used to have to adjust my posture so they were not digging in me. Good luck any questions please ask.
Ah thankyou. Was yours over the muscle? Mine are sub-glandular. 290cc but I suppose who knows what size is in there as many have found out. I was an A (I think) and went to a C. I'm a 30D now so I'm hoping I have something left, at least to squash together! ;o) I can be a bit hyper too...its good for the soul haha. Can't wait to hear how you get on when you can get your stitches out. I think mine will be dissolvable. I've gone more squuemish since having a baby. How strange. X
Hi my implants were under the muscle and you know that feeling you get when you put your hands on you hips and sqeeze with the implant in. when the muscle contracts. well I still have that but really im trying not to contract any muscles. I believe this does get better in time a few weeks. Having 2 children pretty much makes me scared of nothing. Having said that I think having my inplants in was worse pain than childbirth. I was 34A pre op then I had what I though were 270cc but they were 205CC and went to a full C small D and I never liked them. So glad they are gone : )
So pleased to hear how glad you are to have explanted. I hope your muscle is feeling better. I hope he doesn't get in there and find the implants bigger than I was told! We'll have to see. I have a week to go :o) Look forward to the day when I can tell you I've made it :o) x
Yay! Congrats and happy healing!
Hi There, Im so happy that you are happy. I also wish to have mine removed but am scared of what I will be left with. Did you regain any sensation at all? I too have lost 90% of "good"sensations and one nipple is too sensitive and painful to even be touched. :(

Pre Op today and 13 days to go

Hi all I just wanted to say I had my pre op today for my surgery on the 17th June 2013. Everything was good except I had some blood in my urine not visible to the naked eye. I will know in a couple of days why and if there is aa underlying cause. I dont have any problems that I am aware of and I am hoping it is nothing to worry about.

Your review

Hi
What can I call you? I feel rude saying hi. If you are happy with hi I will just go with that. I found your review and OMG you seem to have had an awful time. I luckily, have no problems at all. I have just had enough of them. I really hope you health returns to good health very soon. Maybe you had them in too long. It is good to see your pictures and thank you for that from everyone. I like you only wanted to be a B Cup but ended up a Full C I think which I have never liked. I cant wait to have my little cups back lol. Hindsight is a wonderful thing. If only. Have a good day

I think we were very similar in size prior to implants. Some women have no health issues and others have a lot. For me, I was never happy with them and I have health issues. This was a very good decision form me and I'm already pleased with the results. I'm sure you'll be happy, too!
