Hi everyone!
I'm sorry for the delay in writing. Well, I went back to work and my coworkers noticed but were very complimentary. I honestly am in love with my new/old boobies! The incisions are still tender. I got my stitches out at the 2 week mark. That was slightly uncomfortable but I felt much better after they were removed. My surgeon gave me silicone strips that I'm supposed to wear once all the scabs heal. I have to get officially measured for a new bra but I can say that I do have at least a small A cup. That's just perfect in my mind!
It's been a huge relief to not feel like all people see is my boobs... They see me for me.

Thank You
I want to thank each and everyone of you for your kind words and such amazing encouragement. There are no words to express how much each comment from you has meant.
I'd be lying if I said this process was easy emotionally, physically and financially. In every way, I have had doubts and fears. What I do know and would tell anyone of you that is considering this is to follow your heart. Have patience (still a tough one for me) with your recovery and self esteem. You will have to relearn the healthy you all over again. I can assure you that once the implants are out... You will get a sense of huge relief.
To all of you beautiful ladies that have already been through the whole ordeal, thank you for always reinforcing what I have always felt and known, I'm perfectly fine and beautiful without those huge implants.
I adore all of you, I feel like you are all my best friends. If I can ever be that shoulder for you or the listening ear... Please let me know!
I'll post new pics tomorrow :)

I am so glad to see that you look extremely well, those little boobies fit your frame perfectly you look better now than with implants. And I had the same explant and lift on 9-30-14, I know I feel better and made the right decision. No regrets at all.

What a sweet, sweet husband. Lucky. I'm sure he is being honest BTW. He probably liked them when they were larger too. Men just like boobs.

LoL so true- men just like boobs. I'm very thankful to have such a loving husband. Xxxx

Sweet, Sweet husband...
I'll make this quick but I had to share as my funny and loving husband just did the sweetest thing...
So, I take some seriously long showers since surgery due to me being overly cautious with my stitches. As I open the shower curtain to get out, there was a card waiting for me... The fact that he knew how much I was struggling yesterday and went out of his way to do the "little things" only reassures me that not only I am loved for me but that he's also just much happier to have "natural"!

I think you look amazing. I have a question for you regarding your lift. Did you and your doctor discuss removal and waiting a certain amount of time before doing your lift? My doc is removing them and wants to wait about 6-9 months before having a lift and assessing if I need one. I am just wondering if I should be doing it all in one shot. Our stats are very similar...5 feet 5 inches, 120lbs. I was a 32a/aa before surgery and have 350cc making me a 32C. I worry about the excess skin but he said it retracts amazingly well. I guess you could go to 10 surgeons for this procedure and get 10 different suggestions on how to do it! Thanks in advance!!!

Thanks for the great question. My surgeon also suggested waiting 6 months to do a lift. After hearing that, I expressed my concern and the reasons I felt I needed a lift at the same time (2 breast fed kiddos, huge implants 500+cc's and they were in for about 10yrs). I honestly felt through my research and given my history, even with the best retraction of my skin, I would still have too much excess skin. My doctor responded by saying my concerns were a possibility and agreed to a lift while removing the implants. I have to say, my doctor honestly couldn't have been more sympathetic and reassuring. He made my desires and concerns his top priority. We spoke honestly and straight forward with one another which made my decision to use him much easier. Doing everything in one operation would definitely always be my first option. It's less expensive, less time off work, and one less recovery to go through. With that said, everyone is different and I can understand making the decision either way. I hope that helps. Xxxx

That's beautiful - I am
So happy for you. Take that to work in your bag & when any anxiety overwhelms, read hubbies loving words and you'll remember how he feels about you and your body is all that matters - no one else's ( obviously your feelings count) xxxxx

Your new breasts go with you. You are soo cute. They are wonderful and a credit to what God can do. Your hubby's response is wonderful and your physician did a great job. Believe in yourself!
October 12, 2014
Aww thanks! My doctor has been a doll. He's so genuine and very straight forward. I'm very happy with my results. I feel blessed and like this was all meant to be.
October 12, 2014
I am so in love with your husband!!!! :-) My husband is very supportive as well. We are very fortunate, because I've read several posts where the husband has not been happy at all and didn't want to be deprived of his big boobie toys. :-/

Thanks so much. I think it sounds like we both have great husbands. I've heard a couple others with husbands that were less than kind about it. I pray for those ladies and would love to give them all a hug and reassure them. This whole process is sometimes exhausting emotionally. Everyone needs support, we are all lucky to have this site!
October 12, 2014
Oh my gosh, your husband is soooo sweet!!!!! I love that. You look great and its awesome that you have such great support. Happy healing :)).
