Dr Kolb didn't end up doing my surgery BUT when she was going to...she told me I could remove my drains if I felt like it or any GP could...so go to your regular doc or maybe even your OBGYN could do it, I wouldn't do it myself but it was quick and easy...my stitches disolved.

Bless your precious heart for sharing this with us. What has happened to you has made you stronger, and now it is time for you to heal.

PS is NASTY! Shocking comments...

Ladies,you will not believe what I just endured - all I wanted to do was to rush home and post this. Today was my post-op. The assistant took off my deep bandages and the bra, and there they were! a bit smooshed, but perky, cute little A cups. Much better than I thought they'd be. And they will only get better!! I felt like I was reunited with an old friend. She was explaining how to dress the stitches in the nipple, with gauze and ointment, when the ps opened the door. "Stand up" was how she greeted me. She proceeded to look thru the bag of camis I bought and after telling me to get shelf ones and non shelf ones, she picks a flimsy tshirt one and tells me to wear this. She seemed very angry as she tossed them around. I made a comment that my breasts will fluff out, and she said beligerantly 'I don't know! this is how you could be! Since you never gave me your pre-op pics, I don't know what you'll like it - this right one looks lower than the left anyhow" Moving on, I asked about the operation, how it went, did she encounter anything unusual...and she said 'well, when it was over, we all stood over you and cried'. I made a face and said "Cried? Why?" She gave me a pitying look and replied 'because you had such a beautiful result and NOW look at you'.I swear on my soul that is the truth. I was so stunned - I realized I had been threat from the moment she met me, and the truth was she knew nothing about healing from explant! Women like me threaten her very livlihood and she and the assistant stood there in stony silence as I took in the most offensive thing I have ever been told. Strangely, it didn't bother me on a vanity level (on a professional level, yes, it did) I smiled and said 'I have a beautiful "Result" now - this is as I was made and supposed to be'.She replied 'well, life is all a series of choice, honey', and I also sugar-sweet smiled and replied 'oh believe me, I am learning that every day'.My boyfriend reminded me of a conversation between him and the ps before i was wheeled off to surgery - the ps prodded me to tell the nurse why i wanted them out and that I was 'very unusual - quite atypical'. I just said 'I am over them, I want to be myself' (like I wanted to get into this as I am about to go under!!) - My boyfriend said 'small breasted women are gorgeous! Look at Audrey Hepburn,look at" and the ps got very defensive and interupted him 'oh, no, I didn't say you couldn't be beautiful, I am just saying that there is myths out there about implants being unsafe, and especially after that Connie chung piece ran in 98.' I thought 'oh crap, she has been harboring all this resentment towards me'. Even the massage lady seemed perplexed by choice. But do you know what? I was not alone, nor was I affected by this. It was such a powerful experience, I felt all of your support, my darling boyfriend's, and God's presence in making me KNOW I was again beautiful as I should be. I will not soon forget this day. SO, I fear, dear ladies, that she doesn't know diddilly after all about healing. And, could she/would she sabotage my healing by having me wear a tshirt only? 1) I believe you all wore your sports bra at nite too? I am thinking of following the way most of you did 2) I would never go see her again, but she wants to see me EVERY time I come for massage to make sure they are healing ok. My stitches (I didn't know I was gonna have any, and they are the kind you must rip out) come out in one month. After that, I may never go back, and do the lymph massage at another clinic. 3) I wonder if there is any way to not go to her again? Any thoughts? I am still tired and not sure WHAT to put on - ie when we went over train tracks, it hurt. My head is spinning. I knew she was an egomaniac, but I never thought it would take this turn. I am reminded of Wayne Dyer's quote "you must learn to be independant of the good opinion of other people"So, I extend my gratitude to you all, for arming me with the information and bolstering my spirits so much that in the face of this nasty woman, my belief in myself never wavered. Consider it a small victory for "our side"

,

Yikes! I am amazed, at both the obscene cruelty of your PS, and your strength and self-posession. It is not easy to forge your own path in this. Yes, thank God for the ladies here! I, too, was alone until I found them and their support. Congrats on not falling apart, and knowing what it true and right.

If it were me, I would wear the sportsbra, and never go back to that PS again. She is sadistic, and though she may have performed the proper surgery, I wouldn't trust her from here on out. Her motivations are suspicious. You could also write her a letter, telling her how completely rude and inappropriate she was, but I doubt that it would do any good. But do get a copy of your post-op, showing that you had your capsules out.

The most important thing is, you did it! And now you can recover your own unique body and health.

Hi , I am so glad to hear that you feel good about your new self. I feel the same way about my explant. I am SO glad they are gone. My husband likes them too. He says they feel more natural and not hard any longer. I can't believe what the PS said to you. I believe that she has a right to her own opinion but she needs to keep it to herself. She obviously had a problem before she even walked into the room given the way she acted. About the sports bra... I was told to wear it for a couple of months at least after explant. I am not sure if size has anything to do with it or not. I also had a lift done and I am about a C cup now. I don't see any harm in you wearing a sports bra though. Even a soft not too tight sports bra might be better than just a shirt. I wouldn't go back to her at all. Of course, I am not sure how many plastic surgeons you have in your area. If there are not many, you might be limited. I just wouldn't want to keep

going in there for checks and have to put up with her attitude. Is the staff nice at least?

WOW! What a nasty woman!! You hit it on the head, you are threatening her

livelihood. I'm surprised she could hide all of that nastiness until now.

I'm so proud of you for the way you handled her. You have a wonderful

attitude!! And you are right, you are beautiful now.

The idea ofthe sport bra is two-fold. It shouldn't have any hard edges - like wires that press on your incisions . . and secondly, it will let your body use the internal scar tissue from healing to shape you up nicely. The bra should be snug, but comfortable, and expect to wear it 24/7 until your healing is well underway. One month sounds like a very long time to leave stitches in . . . Maybe one of our ladies can give you a better estimate. . . .Get your Actually, anyone with a little common sense, a pair of small sissors, and a little alcohol could remove them. The thing you want to watch for is any stitches that appear inflammed. I'm not surprised at anything this doctor does! ... Could it be that she has implants too? . . .in denial big time?

It shouldn't have any hard edges - like wires that press on your incisions . . and secondly, it will let your body use the internal scar tissue from healing to shape you up nicely. The bra should be snug, but comfortable, and expect to wear it 24/7 until your healing is well underway. One month sounds like a very long time to leave stitches in . . . Maybe one of our ladies can give you a better estimate. . . .Get Actually, anyone with a little common sense, a pair of small sissors, and a little alcohol could remove them. The thing you want to watch for is any stitches that appear inflammed. I'm not surprised at anything this doctor does! ... Could it be that she has implants too? . . .in denial big time? I'm so glad you had the

presence of mind to fend off her negativity beore going into surgery!

The assistant took off my deep bandages and the bra, and there they were! a bit smooshed, but perky, cute little A cups. Much better than I

thought they'd be. And they will only get better!! I felt like I was reunited with an old friend. She was explaining how to dress the stitches in the nipple, with gauze and ointment, when the ps opened the door. "Stand up" was how she greeted me. She proceeded to look thru the bag of camis I bought and after telling me to get shelf ones and non shelf ones, she picks a flimsy tshirt one and tells me to wear this. She seemed very angry as she tossed them around. I made a comment that my breasts will fluff out, and she said beligerantly 'I don't know! this is how you could be! Since you never gave me your pre-op pics, I don't know what you'll like it - this right one looks lower than the left anyhow" Moving on, I asked about the operation, how it went, did she encounter anything unusual...and she said 'well, when it was over, we all stood over you and cried'. I made a face and said "Cried? Why?" She gave me a pitying

look and replied 'because you had such a beautiful result and NOW look at you'.I swear on my soul that is the truth. I was so stunned - I realized I had been threat from the moment she met me, and the truth was she knew nothing about healing from explant! Women like me threaten her very livlihood and she and the assistant stood there in stony silence as I took in the most offensive thing I have ever been told. Strangely, it didn't bother me on a vanity level (on a professional level, yes, it did) I smiled and said 'I have a beautiful "Result" now - this is as I was made and supposed to be'.She replied 'well, life is all a series of choice, honey', and I also sugar-sweet smiled and replied 'oh believe me, I am learning that every day'.My boyfriend reminded me of a conversation between him and the ps before i was wheeled off to surgery - the ps prodded me to tell the nurse why i wanted them out and that

I was 'very unusual - quite atypical'. I just said 'I am over them, I want to be myself' (like I wanted to get into this as I am about to go under!!) - My boyfriend said 'small breasted women are gorgeous! Look at Audrey Hepburn,look at" and the ps got very defensive and interupted him 'oh, no, I didn't say you couldn't be beautiful, I am just saying that there is myths out there about implants being unsafe, and especially after that Connie chung piece ran in 98.' I thought 'oh crap, she has been harboring all this resentment towards me'. Even the massage lady seemed perplexed by choice. But do you know what? I was not alone, nor was I affected by this. It was such a powerful experience, I felt all of your support, my darling boyfriend's, and God's presence in making me KNOW I was again beautiful as I should be. I will not soon forget this day. SO, I fear, dear ladies, that she doesn't know diddilly after

all about healing. And, could she/would she sabotage my healing by having me wear a tshirt only? 1) I believe you all wore your sports bra at nite too? I am thinking of following the way most of you did 2) I would never go see her again, but she wants to see me EVERY time I come for massage to make sure they are healing ok. My stitches (I didn't know I was gonna have any, and they are the kind you must rip out) come out in one month. After that, I may never go back, and do the lymph massage at another clinic. 3) I wonder if there is any way to not go to her again? Any thoughts? I am still tired and not sure WHAT to put on - ie when we went over train tracks, it hurt. My head is spinning. I knew she was an egomaniac, but I never thought it would take this turn. I am reminded of Wayne Dyer's quote "you must learn to be independant of the good opinion of other people"So, I extend my

gratitude to you all, for arming me with the information and bolstering my spirits so much that in the face of this nasty woman, my belief in myself never wavered. Consider it a small victory for "our side"

You know, I don't get why she wants to see me 3 times a week, then 2

times a week for 6 weeks. It cannot be totally necessary, when some

of the ladies flew in from out other places, etc.

She told me I may " poof " out - I asked her what that meant and she

snapped 'swell, you may swell up' - and that I should wrap an ace

bandage around me to flatten me out if that happens. (But I had

drains, why would I swell up now?) She also said I should wear this

ace bandage around my waist at all times in case I need to pull it

up. ????

Then, they pinned my sleeves to the side of my shirt so I wouldn't

use my arms too much.

And she showed me exercises to do - with my arms way above my head

and stretch as much as I can. ? (sure, with pinned arms??)

She told me to get out and not let this debilitate me as its 'not a

big deal' of a surgery. (her advice ran counter to everything her

staff was saying, too)

I think she believed I was going to change my mind in the 11th hour

and that is why she turned into such a monster. I am really

confused by all the contrary advice - the explant is over, now it

shouldn't be that complicated, right?

Anyone else had any of these instructions?

They said my stitches come out in a month - my dr. is out until

tomorrow but if he can take them out I should be fine just seeing

him. Afterall, many of you never saw the ps again after explant,

right?

-ok, this helps, Rogene, thank you! I am going to walmart and buying

several sizes (gonna search the old messages for that one Melmed

suggests that walmart sells) - the one I have was just way too

tight.

Interesting, I thought a month was long for stitches too!!

and yes...I am pretty sure she has implants - she looked very large

today (didn't have her medical coat on)!

Yes, I want to never see her again, so I will pray I do not get any

inflammations or infections that would make it necessary to go back.
