36 Years Old Almost Four Years Under the Muscle Cohesive Gel 500cc Got to Go!!! - Huntersville, NC

So I am a nut about research and researched pros and cons doctors and hospitals you name it before even deciding to get a BA in 2011. I made the decision for myself and nobody else even when the people in my life loved me the way I was. About two years ago I started getting sick stomach issues, all kinds of things that have progressed to today to feeling like its hard to even get out of bed in the morning. My Primary Physician had every test looked into everything imaginable when it came to me and nothing could be found. On paper I was the poster child of health but I feel like crap. I finally started thinking what if my body just doesn't like these implants because that honestly was the only thing that wasn't ruled out. I started researching only to shockingly find that I was not alone on this and that I was not crazy. Because I had moved from the area I got my BA and my doctor who did it was no longer at the practice anyway, I started researching doctors in the Charlotte area. I found one who was willing to do the surgery for over 8 grand which at first I felt wasn't so bad but began thinking there's got to be someone else in this area that can do a great job of taking them out and not be more than what I paid to get them in. This is when I came across this site and saw Dr. Miles in Huntersville. I braved the waves and called and went in for a consult. Dr. Miles made me feel listened to and he didn't try to force anything on me but did give me a long list of options that I may have in this. He was reassuring and even explained bits and pieces of years of research in this situation to help me understand things better. The kicker is this. His office have me a quote for the procedure and when I called back to actually book the surgery and put my deposit down it was 600 dollars less than the quote. I am glad to be getting these things out of me soon. I can't wait to be back to who I was before this which was the person who matched what the paper said in health. My husband is supportive as he has only known me with the implants but says he rather have me healthy then have bigger bust. I am still contemplating whether to share pictures or not only because of some privacy concerns with me working with teens and stuff. However I will be glad to share my journey and I thank all the women who have shared their journey with us to help us know we aren't alone.

Sooooo I had my preop today and everything went great. Next Tuesday this time I won't have these toxic bags in my body anymore. I hate these things oh wait back to the update. Dr. Miles scared me a bit today as he started talking about putting the drains in. Apparently he saw the reaction on my face and reassured me it would be okay if they went in and that it would just save time from me having to come to the office and keep having him drain any fluid. He explained every thing thoroughly and was again very honest about what would happen next week. He told me if I had any questions to give him a call office or cell day or night he always has his phone. He gave me a prescription for pain meds just in case I need them but said I shouldn't. He has made me feel so at ease that this will be an easier surgery than when I got them in and I feel I'm in great hands. Will update you ladies as I get closer or after. I'm excited and can't wait! Ready to have my push up padded bras back. Never thought I would say that.

So hey ladies my surgery is paid for and was supposed to happen Tuesday but got pushed to Thursday. I got a call from anesthesiologist tonight and now I'm upset. I felt like she was forceful with me and acting as if I shouldn't even get the surgery done. She seemed more pushy and my doctor wasn't even this way about the surgery being done. She gave me a hard time about me saying I just don't feel well which is why I'm getting the implants out. She then went into there is no research that shows that illness is caused by implants. This journey so far has been a good one until tonight. She acted as if I was being dishonest win her about my health history but if that's the case who would I have even wrote it down which wasn't anything much. I explained to her that I've been under three times in the last five years once to get them and twice for some ob surgeries. It was frustrating and I don't want to have to keep these things in me am I overreacting? I gave her my Family Physicians number who literally only sees me once a year unless I'm sick and come to him for something because he says I'm in such good health but he is in another state and what if she can't reach him? I just don't want to have come this far and something goes wrong
