Guest guest Posted October 27, 2004 Report Share Posted October 27, 2004 Hang in there Annie. I pray that you will see rapid and dramatic changes for the better in the weeks and months ahead! Love, Anita IMPLANT AND SCAR TISSUE FREE, THANK GOD!!! We returned home last night, after gettingdrains out yesterday. Explantation did take the wind out of my sails,so I may not be too wordy for a bit. My implants were not ruptured,technically, but definitely lost silicone thru the years. They wereheavily creased from being crumpled up by scar tissue, and had a lotof gel bleed, especially around the creased areas. They were verysticky and yellow, per Dr Feng. I had very little draining fromeither breast from day one after surgery. I did not look at myrevised breasts til yesterday, at the post-op visit with Dr Feng. Iwas very pleasantly surprised at how they looked. It looks like shedid a beautiful job on me. Small, but shaped very pretty. My husbandis thrilled..........! I was very angry during the first 24 hourspost-op. All I could think of was how I wouldn't go thru that formyself or anybody else! I was mad!!! The pain block during/aftersurgery didn't work across chest area....I had full feeling and hurt.The block went to right below my chest area and down to my waist. Youcould've taken a chainsaw to that area and it probably wouldn't havehurt......! I took no pain meds, Tylenol, etc. I did take the ArnicaMontana, the Quercetin/Bromelain, and the other supervitamins/minerals prescribed. I tried to eat decently and drink a lotof water, but still am very dehydrated. I did take some additionalVitamin C, on top of the other, but not my usual 2000-4000mg/day.Biggest pain/annoyance was/is under left breast probably where drainwas routed through skin. Feeling like a stabbing pain when it hits,but comes and goes, and has since surgery day. Nurse said might havebeen on a nerve in that area. Having trouble finding a good sport brato allow me to get away from the an-style Ace bandage andSMALL bra put on me after surgery. Have been sweating a lot, followedby chills. Don't know if it's the niacin in the super vitamins (Inormally only take niacinamide), after effects of surgery, or myhormones messed up by stress/surgery, etc. Could it be detox fromexplanting, already???? I'd better get off here. My back's been maxedout already by all the falderah, the 6 hrs ride home, and now rainyweather here. Just wanted you to know I'm probably doing wonderful,compared to many. I thank God for His covering, YOUR prayers, and allof YOU! Love, Annie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
