Guest guest Posted June 7, 2005 Report Share Posted June 7, 2005 Well I was explanted this morning and I have been feeling very good. I have not taken any pain killers but Dr. M did put me on antibiotics for 3 days post-surgery. He gave me my implants which were quite clean actually, I was surprised b/c I had expected black mold. He said the capsules were hard and that they would become very hard, like baseballs, in 1-2 years if I hadn't explanted. A bit surprising b/c they were very soft. At 9AM tomorrow the drains are removed, and I suppose I will see them, and then maybe not be so cheerful as I am now. I thank everyone for their support and this forum, without which I would not have gone through with the operation. S. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 7, 2005 Report Share Posted June 7, 2005 Congradulations Sandy! You made it through - Life begins anew! Dr. Melmed is wonderful, isn't he? . . . Tell him " Hi " from Rogene! Are you planning on sending your implants to Dr. Blais? The only way to know what is inside your implants is to have them analyzed. Not all mold and bacteria is black! The capsule is the body's way of walling off self from non-self. I'm sure your body is going to be happy to be through fighting off those toxic bags! Take especially good care of yourself. Drink plenty of water . . . very important right now! And enjoy Dallas if you have time! . . . Hugs and prayers, Rogene Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
