[Guest guest]

So glad it's over with and you are back home! Congratulations! Take

care of yourself or let your husband take care of you! I don't

remember a popping sensation, but being fresh out of surgery is

fresh in my mind!

Hi Ginger,

Glad it's all behind you, now you can begin to heal. I remember

those first few days after the surgery - I didn't find it as painful

as getting the implants, but I can relate to the " loopy " feeling.

Ginger . . .

I've been thinking about you today, wondering if you

were back home. . .

Please let your hubby baby you for a little while.

You'll be feeling better soon!

I'm sure Dr. M. did a great job! It will take a little

while to fluff, so don't stress over how flat you are

now!

Hugs and prayers,

Hi Ginger - I agree with Rogene, don't worry about how things might

look physically right now. I'm 6 weeks post op and each day they're

looking more and more like the natural me, and honestly I just love

being small again. It suits my style. At first the muscles were

indented but that's improving. Soon I'll be picking up some light

weights and plan on exercising those muscles - how nice it'll be to

do that without that distortion that came with my under the muscle

implants.

Congrats Ginger on your liberation! You must be relieved.

I'm about 6 weeks post-op with Melmed and I'm seeing changes every

day. Try to take it easy as much as you can(I know how hard it is to

take that advice--I threw a Solstice party for 50 last night and I'm

wiped!)

Thanks for the encouragement, everyone.

It is getting better everyday. How long does the pec soreness

last? It only bothers me when I raise myself up (slowly). I am

trying NOT to use them. The rest is just a bruised feeling.

I do feel liberated and I am so glad I made the decision. My

friends are saying that I look much better without them. I will

post the pictures soon. I don't have any before pictures, but Dr.

Melmed does!!!!!

I'm looking forward to go to sleep in any position I want to without

the rocks poking into me!!!!

Thanks for letting us know you are progressing well! .

Hi Ginger, I definitely could not stand sleeping with the implants.

For months I had to lay on my side with a pillow under my one arm.

Now that the implants are out, I sleep however I want. I even woke

up on my stomach one morning and was so excited!!
