My Breast Implants Came out Today! - Linwood, NJ

Hi all! I have been following implant removal stories on this site for about 2 months. I would like to share mine.
I had my breast implants out today, Aug 29th!

I feel so wonderful, the pain isn't bad at all, I feel elated that they are out of my body! I look forward to doing things that caused pain in the past. Mowing the lawn, raking leaves, going for along walk, bike ride, just enjoying my life the way I should!!!!
I want all readers to know I had mine in 20yrs ago. Both implants were ruptured, I had a large hematoma right breast along with a severe IV capsular contracture. I was in alot of pain all the time, chronically fatigued, pain both arms, joints pains, night sweats, couldn't sleep, my quality of life and my health was spiraling down hill.
The surgery was 2 hours.

At this time, wriiting this blog, just 11 hours later, the pain is about a 3-4, mind you, a good pain, a healing pain. My arms do not hurt anymore, I can breathe deep with my chest feeling like it wants to explode, I feel fabulous! I am concentrating on good nutrition to help my body heal with a positive outlook on end results.
My breast are small again but I still have a little cleavage when I peek down:) I am still wrapped and I have drains. Even if my breasts end up sagging a little I still whole heartedly welcome ME back!

( But I didn't have big implants to start with so I hope for the best!)
My wonderful sister is here with me, helping, I am following doctors orders to a tee. Also my doctor is experienced (31 yrs a plastic surgeon) caring, kind and listened to everything I needed to ask. He called me today late afternoon to check on me.
I encourage any woman suffering with implants consider the benefits of removal. One day it may become medically necessary as mine did. I opted to NEVER put them back in. I never again want the long road of pain I experienced with implants, never, ever again. I like my little breasts, not depressed at all, actually so so happy to see the real me again!

I will keep you updated with how my recovery continues.
Good luck and all my prayers to anyone considering the removal of implants.
