After breast implants

[Guest guest]

Hi ladies I haven't been able to write for a couple days. I have

been getting worse by the minute. I can't believe how much pain I

have in my breast. I have had a really bad rash this entire year.

That was my first problem and it continues to test me. The rash is

so bad right now that it looks like my scar around my nipple is

opening. I asked my husband because it's a little harder for me to

get a good look. He said it just looks like a paper cut over my scar

which is starting to freak me out a little. I'm going to Bethesda in

lang on Wednesday. I hear from a lot of people that is suppose

to be the best Naval hospital. I'm going to check with the PS there

to see if they will do my explant and do it the way I want it done.

I'm not worried about my insurance because I was already told I'm

covered so that's a little weight off my mind. Money is tight with

the holidays coming and my husband and I just bought our first home

a month ago. Other then all that my real question is about breast

feeding and getting pregnant. I've read about some of you ladies

being pregnant while you still had your implants but have any of you

had a baby since you were explanted. We have been trying for a baby

but stopped as I started to feel worse. I want to be better before I

get pregnant. Once I have the explant done how long until my body

should be able to handle that? I know a lot happens to your breast

once you get pregnant and I'm not sure if I'll be able to handle

that pain for a while after. I wouldn't even worry about it but

being a military wife I only have my husband home for short periods

of time. He has been given a land station for the next four years

and after that it's back to a boat. I have to use my time while I

have it! I've already made my mind up about breast feeding. I've

just been through to much to even try. I don't know if my breast

will ever be up to that kinda work but on top of that I don't know

if my breast will ever be 100% safe for my baby! Have any of you

breast fed after explant? I would just wait and talk to my doctor

about all my questions but I've already had such good luck with them

I don't know if I'd believe what they say. I want woman who have

been there and know what I'm talking about. When it comes time for

me to have a baby and take care of that baby I don't want to chance

anything! I took a chance with my own health and look at where I am

now.

Thanks a bunch,
