Well. I am sick again for the 9th time this year w/a cold...sinus infection. So I am upset about that right now. And I decided to go shopping at Bealls tonight. I probably tried on 12 bras... 34A...36A....and they all looked terrible. My rib cage is too big for most of them...and the cups make me look like I have torpedo [RS bleep]... it sucked... I am feeling pretty down about how they look. And don't want to share a photo. Frustrated and depressed at the moment. And my marriage is pretty sucky at the moment also... makes things worse. Cheers...

Recovering well! Still glad they are OUT. The most noticable difference is the amount of energy I have now. I know I am still healing but I have much more energy! The first 2 days I was pretty sore. I didn't take tylenol. Nothing. Just iced them. My muscles were sore, probably from being so tense during the operation. Yoga and light stretching and heating pad helped tremendously.
I am a little emotional about how they look right now, but they could look worse. I am hoping my skin will continue to retract some. I took my steri-strips off today with coconut oil. Letting the incisions breath with a little coconut oil on them.
Left breast is larger and lower than right... ah well. They are just boobs.
I am enjoying looking slimmer with clothes on. :) and I weighed 128lbs, haven't seen that # in a long time!
They dont look that pretty but HEY all the positives outweigh the look of them.
On the path to wellness and healing myself from my autoimmune issues :)

I think you look pretty! I kind of look a little like you only I have lots of scars and my breast are kind of not shaped the same because of it. You have really pretty skin and I think you are going to keep on looking really great. look at my pics its may make you feel better..lol. You really do look great and I hope you continue to feel better and better each day......hugs to you sweet pea!

Thank you Remley, I appreciate your kind words. I pray you get to feeling more comfortable as well...I know you can relate to how emotional the explant has been!

Thank you for sharing your journey. I am glad you are recovering and already feeling better. I think we get used to feeling tired with aches and pains. It gives me hope that i may get some of the energy i once had back.

Thank you Gram, I pray that you do too. You are very right, I did become used to the fatigue...and almost accepted it. But not anymore... I am on a mission to wellness :) "For nothing is impossible with God." Luke 1:37

thank you so much for sharing your story. I had a consult with PS#4. He was the only one to suggest using a local anesthetic and no drains !! Everyone else was "drains, capsulectomy, and general anesthesia". The difference in price is amazing…so much cheaper, easier on me with just a little something to calm me down and done in a little less than an hour. Cannot make a decision what to do…except that I want them OUT!! This PS spent the first 15mins of my consultation telling me there is no reason to take them out and I will be disappointed. I assured him that from this site, I am fully aware and prepared. I'm 67 and had these for 26 yrs with no problems, no contracture or health issues….I just want to be me now. Any help is appreciated.

Good on you for being persistent. I was satisfied with doing the procedure with local anesthetic...and the valium they gave me helped. And that is also great to hear that you haven't had any health issues! If you really want them out, I say go for it. I feel really good now that mine are out. It's been a wonderful feeling being natural again, I feel awesome...just my opinions though! ...This website has been amazingly helpful to me and I'm glad you are finding support on here!

Thanks for the encouragement…I really need it. These "girls" have been with me a long time….and now I will be so noticeably smaller. I will do it though….I want them out…no plans on being the old lady in the nursing home with fake boobs..LOL I even told the PS the same thing…he finally said he will respect my decision although he isn't convinced. Good luck and I am so thankful you shared your journey. I will update as needed when I get the surgery the end of Jan 2015.

Hey Sister in Christ! I think you look great especially considering you're only 6 days post op. I cannot wait to get mine out! Blessings!
