Guest guest Posted November 4, 2005 Report Share Posted November 4, 2005 Hi Everyone, My surgery is set for 11/10 and I was wondering if anyone can give me some insight on how my recovery might be. Like pain and ability to get around and back into my routine. I remember my ba surgery (4/13/05) and how much pain I was in , I couldn't even flush the toilet or lay back in bed with out help. Is the pain the same or not as bad? I am the type of person who needs to know all the details to prepare myself. I posted yesturday about the betacarotine and other things I am taking for pre-op and I did not take the betacarotine today and I feel a million times better. Strange huh? Anyway thatnks for ALL your help Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 4, 2005 Report Share Posted November 4, 2005 , explanting is 100 times easier than implanting. You will feel mildly uncomfortable from being bound in the bandages and having the drains, but the pain is minimal. I never took a pain killer and I went to the mall 24 hours after surgery to shop and have lunch with my husband. Now don't get me wrong, I moved slowly, but I was fine. Have plenty of extra pillows ready to prop yourself up with in bed. The drains make it difficult to lie comfortably. I think you will be pleasantly surprised at how different you feel as soon as you wake up! Good luck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 4, 2005 Report Share Posted November 4, 2005 Hi , The great news is that explant is a piece of cake compare to the implant surgery! I did not experience any significant pain, (did not have to take any pain pills), and was up and about in a matter of days, compared to implant surgery which felt like weeks! That was such a painful surgery, so it's good news to know you don't have to go through that again! Some of the girls have even said that they went shopping after explant surgery with their drains in, or sightseeing, or whatever. Everyone is different, but you will want to rest, of course, but I remember feeling very ready to get out of bed and get going with life again. I did not want to stay in bed any longer than I had to. So, you can look forward to a pretty easy recovery, physically, from explant. It's the other part, the immune system stuff, that takes such a very long time to heal. We'll be thinking of you and praying for an excellent surgical outcome. God bless!
