Guest guest Posted April 26, 2009 Report Share Posted April 26, 2009 Hi all, I had my explant with Dr. Kolb on Thursday, along with a lift. The explant and capsulectomy took 6.5 hours, then the lift took 2.5 more hours -- so a very long day! I'm doing ok, slow but good. The first few days were harder than I expected, and being on the computer is making me dizzy -- but I wanted to post that it's over! And I'm onward and upward to recover from this 13 year process. Thank you for your prayers and good thoughts during this time, I'll post more when I'm more up and about. With relief and gratitude, Alyssa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 27, 2009 Report Share Posted April 27, 2009 Congratulations on the surgery, I remember how scared I was going into the explant surgery.. but I felt relief and like my old self just the next day!! It's a great feeling to have nothing in your body that isn't supposed to be there and 100% just YOU! Wish you a speedy recovery both physically and mentally Alina > > Hi all, > I had my explant with Dr. Kolb on Thursday, along with a lift.

Guest guest Posted April 27, 2009 Report Share Posted April 27, 2009 Hi Alyssa, Congratulations on your explant (I responded to your pre-surgery message a few minutes ago!) Today is the first day of the rest of your life!! Just remember, your body will heal in it's own time, so just take good care of yourself and be patient.
