Went to my PS this morning. Was nauseous this morning. The drive there was not fun wanted to puke the whole time. She thinks it was because of the pain pills more than the anesthesia. Luckily they give you a shot that makes you all better in 15 minutes.
She told me not to look today cause everything is smashed down. My husband said I looked fine just like I did before.
I took a little peak cause she was showing how to clean my drain tubes and I was glad to see I still have some breast tissue. Now it's a matter of seeing how it evolves over the next few months. But I am still happy with my decision.
I feel like my old self. More comfortable. For the first time in 8 years I'm not looking down at my chest. I realize my implants made me feel more confident but also more self concious.
I feel like this site and all the ladies on here have helped me embrace this transformation back to the real me.
Thank you for all the support. My PS is wonderful and her team has taken very good care of me.
I'm relieved to not have to worry about the implants anymore. Can't wait to sleep comfortably again.

Tomorrow morning I go do this thing. Still terrified, sad, angry ect. Why I ever did this to myself I will never know other than pure stupidity.
So it is what it is and the only thing I czn do now is move forward. I don't know how well I will sleep tonight. Last night slept ok but woke up and my heart felt like it dropped and I started panicking. Was awake off and on all night. Feel like I am getting a little sick to which worries me.

HI girl, I had been thinking about you and your surgery. I pray all goes well and that you have a great and quick recovery. I am already feeling good. I had my surgery last Tuesday and used pain killers for 3 days including the day of the surgery. Then I had to stop because oxycodone/Percocet was making vomit, and I was super dizzy and could not go #2. So I had pain for a day until I was smart enough to just take alive or acetaminophen and that took care of the pain. I had a girlfriend that had saline implants and her recovery was super fast, and I think yours will be like her. She was able to breastfeed the next day so just think how quick her recovery was. My surgery was a removal of gel implants with a good cleaning because they were broken and a removal of capsule. The incisions are 2 inches long each one.
So, I think you will be on your feet soon. Do not worry about the look at the beginning. One of my boobs looks not to happy.... like oh crap how much breast tissue is missing in the bottom? but I think it will get better with time. My girlfriend had lots of wrinkles and after 6 months she said they are looking better. It can take up to a year or so, so do not worry. Relax and enjoy your new view of yourself. Know you are now free! pure! natural! and yourself! Pretty as God made you :)
I also want to go to the gym to lose my belly but will take it easy for a month an a half to make sure all my body is recover and I do not brake any internal stiches.
We must feel sexy from the inside and it will show in our face and body! So congratulations and embrace your boobs! Do not let the world tell you how you should look so you can feel well. You know, I wanted implants since I was 15. And then after having them, I came to find out that I did not wanted them or needed them and realize that I was already pretty. The good thing here is that we had been on both sides, we were part of both worlds and made a free and conscious decision to just be us. No looking back either, I think at that point in our life we needed big boobs, and we enjoyed them. Now, we do not need them anymore which is awesome. Everything happens for a reason, my reason is to tell my daughter and friends not to go that road if they can avoid it. Also, just wanted to let you know something that happen to me a few days before surgery. I met with 9 girlfriends and told them about my surgery and they all have big breasts and told me that they wanted to have small boobs instead of big and thought I was crazy for getting implants, funny right?
Let me know if you have any questions. God bless you!

Thank you so much. I cried reading your post cause its so true. I haven't seen myself yet cause I'm all bandaged up but I'm happy and no pun intended but feel like a weights been lifted off me. Surgery went well. Had a small lump I was worried about even though mammogram came back normal I want sure if it saw it or not. Since they do miss things especially with implants in the way. My PS felt sll my tissues from both sides after removing the implants and said she would remove anything suspicious for biopsy. It was just a fluid filled cysts do all good.
They had me go in earlier today actuslly called me while I was still sleeping since someone canceled. So I got it over with sooner and was home by 1. Thank you so much for the support. I plan on embracing the new me. And even though I am not a violent person anyone who makes a rude comment about my flatness will get a punch to the face lol. Not cause I will be offended or hurt but because they deserve it for being a rude ass lol. Best of luck and keep in touch.

Even those words can't express how horrible I feel. I have already been overwhelmed these past thee years really with a new toddler. Horrible pregnancy that I was so sick through. I love her to death but she is such a handful and I feel stretched very very thin.
My husbands mom was diagnosed with Lewy Body dementia and we were constantly dealing with his parents and I felt like I couldn't and my husband couldn't enjoy our own family. She passed away last year then my mom was diagnosed with a rare aggressive form of breast cancer. Once again but this time my parents. However this one took a toll on me.
A month ago I was fine happy just started working with a perdonsl trainer. I was feeling great. Then total breakdown. Had a annusl checkup was concerned about a few spots in my breasts. Talked to my PS snd Obgyn. Mammogram came back fine. But with my mom in the back of my head I panicked. That's when I realized I'm not getting these replaced and I'm not going to wait for something to go wrong.
Suddenly found myself not being able to eat or sleep and just wanted these out of me. My explant is on Monday. I am feeling do many emotions and just wish it was over with all ready.
Terrified how I will look and how I will handle things. Sad I even did this to begin with. What a waste.

I was feeling the same way before my explant a month ago: it's normal to be scared in the situation like that. Just remember the explant is the only right thing you can do for yourself now: your family needs you to be healthy. Wishing you the best in your explant and fast recovery after!

Good luck with your explant. Your health is more important than everything. But it is also normal to think about the outcome ! My explant is in one month and I try not to think about my future flatness... Sometimes it's ok, I'm confiant and positive, and sometimes... You have a lot of family problems to deal with, and it's normal to feel scared and overwhelmed... Good luck !
I remember right after my BA I was like omg what did I do. I looked and it took me a long time to get used to them. In certain clothes they looked fine but on a skinny girl with litte tissue I look at pics and am like oh they look so fake.
I thought I would panic and be depressed after removal but I was so happy to see the old me.
But this site and knowing what to expect helped tremendously. I have way less than alot on here but it's what I had to start with snd I'm ok with thst. Knowing I don't have to deal with implants anymore is a relief. Knowing I nolonger have to do extra mammogram pics is a relief.
