Happy Mothers Day :-) I had a wonderful day with my kids. Treated to breakfast this morning, a walk through the woods and walked hand-in-hand with my beautiful granddaughter - I even picked her up for a short time. She's 25 pounds so I'll probably be feeling sore from that tomorrow but it's worth it.

I hope everyone is feeling well and has had a great day! Patti

Thanks for the updates it really helps prepare myself! I am bracing myself for the worst looking inflated fried egg flaps that "have been stepped on!" I am having mine out May 28 - I too have my first grandson, so can't wait to hug him "au naturel" when I see him again in July. I am positive I will be feeling fine by then, so no need to tell my son and wife what stupid mum did when she was younger! Must say its interesting looking at padded bras again. Last time I bought one was pre implant when the first wonder bra came out!

Had mine out just over 2 yrs ago. Lost lots of tissue on the one (capsule) and now much smaller than the other. But, I don't care. They are soft, mine & zero pain with a mamo now! I can spot the fake ones so easily. Happy the implants are out!!!

:)) Me too! Thought it was only I that was out spotting the Fake boobs. I was one of them, so no judging, just painful to see...Happy here 15 days Post op. not perfect, but soft and I was thinking how those mamo's were so horrible to have with the fakes. OUCH. Ive skipped the mamo for three years, bad thing to do! :)) Candyboxx you will love it!! Happy for you that you will soon be on the other side too!

Oh me too! Kind of play a guessing game in my mind when at the beach of who's real and who's not!!! Ha!

I've always played the "which are real and which are fake" game. Even when I had mine. Not only were mine painful when shower water hit them, they were painful to the touch during sex. SO happy they are gone!

Lol you made me laugh out loud with "my breast looks like something that was shrivelled and stepped on" my capsules were left in too and I know exactly what you mean, the day after surgery it was really obvious on the contracted side and kind of a bump over my nipple that made my lower breast look indented and made me worry about nipples caving, so happy it went down after a couple of days and is starting to look much better : ) sorry you had to go back to work so soon that sucks, hope you're still healing well x

9 days post op and I can truly say this is the first day that I feel back to "normal". I slept GREAT last night. I slept in the ace bandage I was given after surgery instead of the compression bra. Saw my PS today - horrible tape, off, stitches out and told it "looks good". Of course, he told me he'd be glad to "do more implants for me" when I'm ready. *Don't hold your breath buddy* I have a day off from work; the sun is shining, I did light gardening, cooked for myself (I'm a vegan and haven't cooked for myself since April 31st). Life is GOOD!! I am falling in love with my B Cup breasts :-)

I hope everyone is doing well. Blessings, Patti

Tomorrow I go to my PS to have the surgical tape removed - so glad! The little buggers are itching me. I haven't slept well since I had the explant done - plus I've had a headache and jaw ache since the removal. I'm hoping the jaw ache is from being tired and nothing else. The compression bras I have aren't comfortable and dig into my underarms when I lay down. Tonight I'm going to have my husband wrap the orignial ace bandage the doc put on me around my breast/back to give some relief from the bra. I have an all cotton bra on order; can't wait for it to get here!

Anyone else have a lingering headache after the explant surgery? Blessings, Pat

It will feel so much better with the tape removed Hon! Most likely the lack of sleep and just having to go through Surgery is causing some sleeplessness. Ive had some of that too! I hope that improves! It will! My PS, like I said below, did not want my Compression bra as tight as I had on. He wanted my Boobies to breathe more! Works for me! It seems to have helped with the droopyness!! Not as inverted as well. Our bodies do wonderful things with time! I am sure it will all improve!! Best of luck healing to you !! aka lil Hoots

Hi Pat, I had a neck ache for a few days after and would ice it and that helped. I was sore for several days I think from all the tensing up my body did during and just after surgery. Hope it passes for you soon!
