Thank you! I will have the stitches removed Wednesday and post more info from Dr comments then.
I too was so terrified, but you can do it! Sending Prayers for not only a successful surgery, but also for strength to do it. Though I am healing with the normal soreness and tenderness (no hugs) I am so happy to have the implants gone! You will not regret it.
I know... She looks amazing... and gives me so much hope. Unsure2013... Im so happy her surgery went as well as it did. I have my next consult on Dec 12th... Fingers crossed.. You ladies are awesome.. Thank you for being there for support. xo
You look so much better without those big implants! :) About the extreme tenderness, I am currently a little over 2 weeks out and I still have a lot of soreness. I had a more invasive surgery because both my implants were ruptured, so my PS had to do a double-capsulectomy and there was a lot of clean-up. I think I'll probably be sore for another couple weeks, but hoping by next week I'll start noticing less and less. Happy healing! :)
Thank you for your compliment! I appreciate your sharing your post op progress. It really helps! I too had a double capsulectomy and wow are they sore ! The right side more where the infection had to be treated and removed. Isn't it great to have them out of our bodies! As I look back at the before and after I can't believe we all wanted them in the first place:) happy Continued Healing to you too! ;)
Boy you can say that again! Feels so good to be free of those heavy, toxic implants! :) One of the worst decisions I ever made when I decided to get them. Here's to better, happier, healthier days ahead (clink)! :)
To all coming out : I had the same thing you did, a capsuectomy my right breast was real bad surgery lasted 4 hrs. He had to take alot of my own tissue out I.am totally flat now but thaank God I did,nt have breast cancer. I just wanted to aske you . "It has been 5 weeks he had to cut so much out I have skin real tight under my little breast that pulls he said this is normal skin stretching. also I still feel awful real tired, my shoulders hurt I,am 71. 2 days before I had this surgery I was out walking shoping I feel depressed because no energy. I do the dishes in the morning make coffee and I just feel so run down then I take shower. Do you feel, weak and run down??? How do you feel. I,am a jogger and walker but there is no way I could be out side right now feeling this way. I have never had operation accept to have implants put in silicon (35) years the implants. I have alot of anxiety in me to. thanks a lot . hugs zzztop
Aw, I'm really sorry to hear you aren't feeling well. I understand the no energy thing - I still haven't been able to keep my energy level up for very long. I felt great about 4 days ago and took a 3-mile walk outside. I felt amazing...so clear-headed and got the exercise "high". But then the next day I felt awful. I was super sore and very lethargic and have basically been feeling tired ever since. I clearly overdid it - my body wasn't ready for that much exercise. When I had the implants, I didn't feel good for several years, especially the last 2 years before they were removed. I had several health issues and I was always sooo tired and run down. So I am hoping that one day after I fully recover from surgery, I will get my energy back and will feel like I did before implants. Its been so long since I've felt good, so I feel your pain. I hope you start feeling better soon - many hugs!
Dear Allcomingout: Thank you for writting me. It is really sad to me. I have exercised all my life, right now I just feel like you said sooooo tired and weak no energy. I,am 68 now I had my implants 35years never a problem.. I think you over did the walking I did that to I had a bad fall on vacation really messed up knees and legs soft tissue engeries. I waited about 4 weeks and took long walk . Oh my God I hurt so bad the next day just like you. I also feel depressed because i have no breast just little bumps niples look weird. I could have had more implants put in but I could imagine the pain. So far I manage getting up at 5:00am having a cup of coffee write in my journal do up a few dishes (my husband) has been doing everything then I go in take shower then sit on top of bed with computer that is it. I see Dr. tomarrow. before this operation I was never sick or tired. Well I guess if you decide to walk again only do 30 mintues. that is a drag. But at least you can walk . I have only been out 2 times since surgery. It is real cold where i live Ca. Can,t cut the cold. write again let me know how your doing hugs zzz
