Not Quite a Breast Revision but Kind Of! I Mean, I Am Changing my Breasts...BACK TO NATURAL! - Bristol, TN

I will be updating more this evening. I am doing an entirely new posts because I couldn't do another "BREAST Implant removal" review because I already have one (that should have been breast implants anyways , since my original doctor is reviewed. I didn't know how to do this and I also have discovered you cannot delete what you wrote?

SO, I had quite a few consultations and called nearly everyone across my state! Will jump back on and get into why I am removing my Implants and who is doing it!

so much to update, so much to do! I have been more busy interacting with others and reading stories I haven't updated my own.

I have decided to have the implants removed under local by a wonderful DR. in Tennessee. Dr. Roderick Zickler. I will update later as to why I chose him and other personal issues regarding my decision. I am super grateful for EVERYONE sharing their stories, interacting and sharing pricing information, pictures , etc. IT has been so very helpful and I would NOT be on my way to getting these out if I had not connected with so many of you not only helping in this decision but the support!

MARCH 21st is the day!!!!!! I have been feeling all the emotions you all have felt/feeling and yet anticipate with anxiety and excitement for the big day.
I am dreaming of the day of taking deep breaths, of buttoning all my shirts and dresses , of kayaking, doing yoga, snowboarding , paddle boarding, kayaking, skiing, dancing, lifting without suffering for weeks on end. I can only dream right now that my health will return and I will not feel so sick. Of not letting down my friends and family because I just don't feel well enough to attend or so tired I am falling asleep sitting up by 11am yet having so many sleepless nights aching with pain. maybe even an advanced yoga pose or two is in my future, who knows!

I have been so busy interacting with others and reading everyone else's stories, that I haven't really updated much on my own site.
About to call and pay for surgery and hotel is booked :D :D I am scheduled for 3pm ! Now to just try and find someone to take me. All my friends work, my mom wants to come but she just had a tumor removed, isn't too keen on driving through mountains but most of all, I don't want her BP to go up. I asked my kids father if he would take me but he told me no, not happening. :-/ Oh well! I might just take a cab to and from the hotel I am just not sure how I will be feeling the next day to drive home.
I have made the decision to just go ahead and have them done under local in Tennessee with Dr. Zickler. I will then give myself some time to heal, detox, whatever and if my sumptoms do not improve I will then see Dr. Kolb or Dr. Feng...the only two surgeons that will EVER touch my body EVER *I would say Dr. Melmed too, but he is in Texas.

I think I would like to see Dr. Feng because I have so many health/immune/weight issues that I seem to keep spending money on all these Primary care Doctors but ZERO results or solutions. She seems to have a good grip on the problems as does Dr. Kolb. I am confident both Surgeons can help me and get me back on track. I am keeping a positive attitude and confident with the decision to remove these.

If even removal alleviate some pain, that is at least SOMETHING towards relief. I am very concerned about the scar tissue and Dr. Zickler did make me aware it may cause tugging on the nerves. I will cross that bridge when I get there. As far as appearance I could care less at this point. when you are in so much pain and always so sick...I could really care less and not too concerned with how they look after coming out....WORST case scenario I will work and save up for fat transfer in my boobs if I find I am not improving or liking what I see. NO BIGGIE. These doctors can do some seriously amazing stuff but appearance is the least of my concerns because I am truly in pain/suffering and sick. I like Dr. Fengs work on and that she does NOT do implants at all ! That says a lot!

I thought i almost would miss mine until I read it took 30 chemicals to make these bags. That plus how totally terrible I feel leaves me NO doubts, fears, question that I am doing the right thing. I only am angry that some of us don't have the ability to see the top doctors who do this with care and concern and remove the scar, repair muscles if needed and remove swollen lymph nodes. THIS is important to me but I can't do it. I actually typed into my calculator how much I would have to save in 12 months so i could save 8k for the surgery....8k divided by 12 is 666.6666666 >...NO SIR...I DON'T LIKE IT! I opted to type in 7500. into my handy dandy calculator instead LOL I will have to save at least 550.00 a month just to get any revision or transfer. That's about 140 per week-I paid that just in daycare alone if not more so ,so where there is a will there is a way and who wants to wait MORE weeks for insurance to approve when you are already in pain?

Actually, I currently am struggling just to keep my eyes open as I type this. I am so tired. I need a nap.
I will have to post some pictures later! I have so much to talk about! I am going to be honest with you, I just watched Dr. FENG do the surgery. HOLY COW....JUST HOLY cow. Going to faint but I can see she is TOP SHELF for sure! She cares about her work and is meticulous. I can appreciate that. I wish I could go see her or Dr. Kolb now 1. because my health and hormones are such a mess 2. she is meticulous and knows her stuff and cares about her work ; you can tell. 3. I want every part of this mistake removed...EVEN if that looks painful as hell. IF I ever decide to do natural breast enhancement and the money tree I planted magically grows, it will be by Dr. FENG and no other. PERIOD!

I Will update some pictures later. 1. of the painful rack 2. of the arsenal of supplements I need to take just to function like a semi-normal human 3. some of the things I am doing to prepare and 4. some of my own personal tips from experience with the pain and illness your implants are causing.

I am also thinking about making a corset type closure sports bra for compression. WHY? Because I can't find a dang zipper sports bra for compression and no time to hunt one down with Easter also approaching. I thought, HEY, I can sew and hey, why not cut a sports bra down the center (buy x large for room to sew) then either create button holes and lace that bad boy up ...this sounds like a logical fix as you can also adjust as your healing to not be so tight or as tight as needed. IF that fails, I will just buy some ace bandaging or something. THIS doesn't have to be complicated right. After seeing that video of Dr. Feng in action, MY boobs hurt.

It has been so great connecting with all of you. Thankful to those who were /are sharing personal stories and fears/concerns and victories. I get teary eyed when I read of women struggling AND when I read of women getting better thanks to the few doctors that truly used their heads and hearts and believed us when we said, "WE ARE NOT WELL. THESE NEED TO GO"
I also get teary eyed when I read some girl say in her review that she was using snow to sooth her soreness and it was effective because it's soft and when she ran out her hubby went and bought a snow cone machine and that he sacrificed buying beer and lunches out so they could save for surgery. THAT IS A good man! Lucky, lucky girl!!!!
