No Problems, I Just Want Them Out - San Antonio, TX

UPDATED FROM SR1207
1 month post

Healing quite well...nice compliment from gyn

WORTH IT$3,000
I'm about 8 weeks post op now. It's the best decision I've ever made. I can lay on my stomach or my back with no discomfort like I had with the implants. I'm healing nicely. I tried to take pictures by I didn't do a very good job on the self portrait (too close up) so I'll post when I can get my husband to take some new photos.

So I went for my annual exam and when my Gyn was doing the breast exam he asked if my PS also did some reconstruction, I said, no. He said, wow, you heal fast!

I even did a 60 mile bike ride 3 1/2 weeks post op, with my PS approval of course!

Thanks for the update! 60 mile bike ride at 3-1/2 weeks post-op - wow! I'm impressed!
Whoa, LongTall--SR had implants removed under local, not everything you had done. ;-)
ET, you know me too well :)
Lol! Yep, I've got your number... :-)
Oops! Busted!!!!!
:-)
You really look terrific!
So glad to hear you're doing so well, SR!!
I had mine out, just punctured, and I am SO glad. I'm 50 and my breasts bounced right back. My doc made them too big to start (10 years ago) I had a smaller implant put in after 5 years (still too big) and I was dubious, but it turned out great. Glad you are in the No More Implants club with me. Isn't it so much better? You look great :) People are telling me I look like I did in my 20's....and I don't feel fat anymore because of the huge boobs. Plus I can wear ANY bra and just about any clothes now (dresses used to be a particular problem as the top half of me was a 12 and the bottom a size 6-8). I can also wear fabrics other than stretch ones when I choose a shirt! Joy :)

They are out!!! I'm so happy; I feel so much lighter. I have virtually no pain! I will post more as the healing progresses. Anyone who is on the fence about getting this done, I highly recommend it :)

My PS made a small incision in the crease, then punctured the implant so he could pull it out through the one inch incision :)

Congratulations on "getting back to being yourself"! I'm scheduled for the 25th and can't wait. Rest and treat yourself very well; you deserve it!
The 25th will be here before you know it ! See you on the other side :)
Yea! Glad to hear its over and you're feeling so good already. You look great!!
Thank you undecided Texan, I highly recommend Dr Greene if you're still looking.
I'm almost certain I'll be going with Dr. Melted up here in Dallas. I was debating between Dallas and San Antonio (where I have family). Unfortunately, if you read the update I posted yesterday on my review, you'll see I have some other health issues that just came up. :-(
Oops, Melmed.
Those are some gorgeous bewbies!!!! Seriously, they're so full and just awesome!
Awww! You're sweet, thank you!
wow!! you look seriously amazing!! wooohooo you must be ecstatic!
Thank you! I'm very happy, I can't wait until I'm totally healed.
Perfect boobs! Still a lot of fullness- who needs implants? :-)
Thank you! I am so curious to see what size I end up being. I agree, who needs implants?!

I'm done! I'm in between naps. I'm feeling almost no pain. I took some extra strength tylenol when I got home, no vicodin. I will post more tomorrow. Oh, and the best part. ... I didn't have to get drains!!!
