  • Posted to Breast Lift with Saline Implant Was a Slow Healer but It Turned out Great - Dallas, TX on 29 Jul 2011
    Hey guys, thank u for all of the support. I needed it! A lot of things have gone wrong for me in my personal life since I have had surgery. It was not related to the surgery just regular stuff. I did develop an ulcer in my stomach from freaking out over everything. That caused me to throw up for almost 2 weeks when I tried to eat or even drink water!!! Not good when you are healing. I developed what I finally decided had to be a pressure wound that was getting infected. I came to this conclusion based on pics and blogs on reliable sites. I saw Dr. Trussler today, I almost fell off the table when he took a look at me and all I remember is a lot of good things must have been said BC he was smiling. Then he actually threw in the word FABULOUS! I could not believe it. I was prepared to get a good lecture on healing considering I have lost 10 pounds in 2 weeks from the ulcer, but he didn't. He did say buy some carnation instant breakfast and eat really well. But I was worrying myself sick and that is sad. And the "pressure sores" that I diagnosed myself with tuned out to be crazy 2 to 4 inch dis solvable stitches that he had already pulled out of the hole before I could even feel it. I was also told to stay off the internet, which in my case is a good idea until I get a little better. Can you guys imagine if I had found that suture and pulled on it and it came out 4 inches long! I know I would have decided right then and there that my new boob was going to completely unravel like a sweater before I could get to him. You guys, seriously need to read my story every time you start to worry. I left his office and actually sang with the windows down, no A/C in 100 degree 5 o'clock Dallas tollway traffic! I realized that I feel better tonight than I have in two months and it is because I have the most awesome and talented surgeon in Dallas and because after all I had been threw in 2 weeks he still thought I looked great! Nothing else changed but just knowing I am OK is so nice. And the way that I read I was supposed to dress the wound was all wrong!! All I needed was a bad aid! So do yourselves a favor and go to Dr. Trussler for surgery and only use these sites for moral support and not if you are mentally unstable!! Ha Ha just kidding but kinda serious. I am a worrier because i tend to have bad luck. But if I would have seen him as soon as I thought some thing was wrong, I might not have an ulcer who knows but if anything else scares me I will make the long drive from Aubrey, TX just to fell as good as I do tonight. My boobs do look good I may put a pic up in the future but not until it is one that would not help any woman to self diagnose. See you guys in 6 weeks when I see him again and he said I should be healed up then!!

    I had it done on 6/2 and since my last post I developed an ulcer from stress in my stomach. I could not eat or drink much for almost 2 weeks off and on. I think that stalled my healing and I have an open sore were my bra sits! Dr. T said it should be ok I see him in 2 days.
