Saline Implants Will Be Removed Due to Health. Anyone Have Their IC Cured with Removal? - Cleveland, OH

I am amazed how great I felt this entire year!!! I have been pain free and did not require my typical IC meds and have not had a urinary tract infection the past year. I am down about 10 pounds. I do eat better though, try to limit salty foods, sugar and carbs. I do a minimal work out, 30 minutes and walk my dogs about 20 minutes. My eyebrows are slowly growing back, and the lump I had on my neck (swollen glands) which felt like forever is gone. My gums do not bleed once a month anymore (around the period). My hands don't have arthritic pain anymore! All in all I feel great!!! Go ahead and do it!!! They are small but you can't beat NO PAIN!! Not sure how to change the "not sure" to a YES worth it!! But it is worth it!!

I made it to the other side! First, thank you to all the women for sharing their story because I would never be here if I didn't find this site and hear others were going through the same/similar thing. Well, today I am tired, I have barely slept the past three nights, and well I just need to take it easy. I have been stressed since I booked this surgery in March. Now I feel a sense of calm. My hands are the first thing I can feel that is different, they are nice and warm and are typically freezing. My neck feels soft , it usually felt like something was swollen and fighting something. My eyes feel fine too, sometimes they would feel dry and burny. My bladder, which is my main concern, is hanging in there, it's pretty good, not 100 percent but not worse, so I want to wait before I report on that one. I hopefully will have my drains out Monday and I am wrapped up as tight as can be, so I am pretty darn flat! One day at a time for me at this point. I will keep all of you lovely ladies posted on the rest of my journey. Thanks for being there!

Okay I am anxious for sure! You ladies have helped me come this far. If I didn't find all of the Breast Implant Illness information and this site, I wouldn't have enough courage to do this. I like the way I look, this is all for better health. Before I scheduled surgery, I went to a different PS in NY. She told me I would look grotesque, flat, like a boy and in good conscious did not want to operate on me. I am used to doctor's dismissing my complaints of pain, so this was no different. But, I am scared she is right! Looking at all of the great beautiful outcomes on you ladies, I am still going for it! (with a different PS of course) Thank you all for sharing and I am hoping that doctor was wrong!!
