I had my surgery 4 weeks ago. I feel so much lighter (3 pounds lost from my chest feels so different) I have been going to the gym since since day ten but started working out my arms last week. I get sharp stabbing pains in my breast (nerve endings healing) but that's normal. They look weird but I guess by week 7 I will know exactly how they will look. That's ok. I'm now an A/B (from a D) so I feel better in regular clothes but a bit self conscience in my bikini. I still think it was a good decision!

Hello! Just wondering how you are now?

Hi! I'm happy with the decision to have them removed. It's nice being able to sleep on my stomach again. And it's not so heavy! But, I still look weird in a swim suit. I can't get used to that. Once in a while I get the stabby pains but my Dr said that it's just nerve ending healing. I remember that happening when I had the implants put in. Sometimes the sharp pain hangs around a little bit too long but usually it's just a quick surprise. I bought a few size 34B bras but I'm probably going to go try on 34A bras. The B cups seem a bit loose. Booooo! Hahaha! I'm pretty sure that I won't have new implants put in. It's just not with the health risks and discomfort. I can handle looking a little strange in a swim suit. It just makes me motivated to do more crunches! Let me know how you're doing! Take care! -Courtney

What do you find strange in a swimsuit? I tried a bikini on and it was ok. Maybe you could try a different style?

I got those pains a bit too, but they seem to have gone now.

Hi! Well, I'm not happy with the way that they look. My implants were above the muscle and when they settled I have a weird crease that looks like a fold. I had hoped that it would go away but it never did so I am very self-conscious. I look better in clothes but in a swimsuit I'm very self-conscious. Physically I feel much better, however, I do not like the results, but I do not want to get new implants put in. I don't think it's worth it. The surgery was quite painful so I don't want to go through that again plus breast cancer runs in my family.

Well, it's ok anyway....you look better clothes & you feel better....no downside there...I'm sure somewhere out there there's a bathing suit that would look good on you....some of those black one-piece with either strapless or a mesh-looking halter top are really sexy!

I had my implants removed on Friday. It is now Tuesday. At 2:30 I will have the drainage tubes removed! I can't wait! The first night I had 40 ml in one and 50 ml in the other. The next day I had maybe four drops in each. So they were there for no reason. It's the long holiday weekend so I had to wait until today. The surgery took about 1 1/2 hours. I was going to try and be tough (don't know why) and not take my pain pills but I ended up taking them every six hours! I'm a whimp. The people at the surgery center were all very nice. Today my breast feel like they are super sun burned. The incision itches (healing) and I'm getting the sharp pains (nerves growing back). I looked at my new natural breast with the tape and bandages still on. They look like someone stepped on them! Haha! But I know that in a few weeks they will fill out! I think that I made a great decision!

So, tomorrow is the day. My surgery is at 1:30 but I have to arrive at noon to get my I.V. In and have a heart attack! I don't think that I'm going to sleep tonight. I told the nurse on the phone yesterday that I need a relaxer as soon as I get there. She said that it won't be a problem. It's going to be so strange going from a D for 13 years back to probably nothing! I am going to post pictures soon!
