And they are out!!!!!! Removal was yesterday. When I arrived at surgery center and was being prepped, I was informed it was under local anesthesia. I had a moment of panic because I thought I was going under general. My surgery was delayed because the person before me took longer. Laying there waiting was the worst part. My anxiety was through the roof....was I making the right decision?!!! And then it was time! It was a little uncomfortable... I could feel incision being made, pressure of implants coming out and I had to stop him for more anesthesia when I was being stiched up. I think it took around 20 min and even though it was uncomfortable, I feel so blessed that I didn't go under general. Afterwards I went out for a burger and came home and watched a movie. Pain level isn't so bad. This morning I feel fine with some pain, so after breakfast I will take pain meds. I haven't looked at them yet but I feel so much relief. So thankful to be free of foreign object in my body. I will have to face the music when I shower today but I'm hoping to stay positive and know from this site and all your stories, that it will take time to fluff out. In the 15 months that I had implants, I have gained 30 POUNDS!!!!! Granted I was a little underweight prior to surgery but I think I was so depressed and self conscious with giant boobs that I just ate!!!!!! Daunting task ahead to lose 20 lbs but just thrilled I won't have to wrestle boobs into a bunch of sports bras. Thank you so much for all your stories. It gave me the courage to move forward and so glad I did!!!!!
Fungus
Im freaking out. My explant is in 2 weeks and I have fungus/ringworm on my breasts. I have been trying everything and it wont go away....even with prescription cream. I'm almost positive (via Internet) that I cannot have surgery with it present. I am so upset. I want these out and have planned time off work,etc. All my research tells me how impossible it is to get rid of fungus. :(
more thoughts
Woke up in the middle of the night with piercing pain behind one of my nipples and soaked in sweat. This has happened a few times before. So weird. I will be free of these in a month and then I wont have to wonder if random ailments are related to these implants. Hoping my fatigue and joint aches disappear as well. I wish I could share photos but I am heavily tattooed and dont know how to photoshop. Lol. All these stories are priceless and have helped me so much. Thank you
