Guest guest Posted March 8, 2006 Report Share Posted March 8, 2006 Hi everyone, I have been keeping up on reading the posts. I really appreciate the support and knowing that others understand what I am going thru. I just read Rommie's post and how she is doing so much better. That is exciting and it gives me hope!! It is a little over 1 week since my explant. I haven't noticed any improvements thus far. I would like to think so, but honestly I feel like the surgery took every last bit of energy out of me. I still have bandages on along with the tight ace wrap and surgical bra. I was told to wait until 2 weeks post op to remove the bandages and quit wrapping my breasts. I look forward to seeing my new figure and hope that it turns out okay. It was really hard for me to look at myself when Dr Feng took out the drains. I looked so deformed compared to before. I know it takes several months to get shape back, but it isn't just my breasts. It's hard to stomach how I was before I got implants compared to now. I am not going to say I don't care about my appearance, but honestly I just want to feel good again. I also worry that I am really depressed. I feel so emotional and very drained. I am so tired I actually feel the bags under my eyes. My youngest child has been cared for this week at a childcare center. She is 18 months. Friday is the first day I will go solo with her again. My 3 year is pretty good, but wants me to play play play. I have had to do a fair amount of running of the 3 year old and 6 year old to and from school/activities. My husband leaves this weekend for 7 days of military training. My husband has been very supportive, but I know it is hard for him to understand all I am dealing with. Part of me feels like now the explant part is over I should be on the up and up. My husband has commented on this as well. My chest is so bruised and swollen feeling. The area between my breasts is very bruised. I find night is the hardest, as I feel so uncomfortable. On a positive note I have been spreading the word. I have been sharing my experience whenever I get the chance. I also had a DR's appointment with my regular DR on Monday. He is very supportive. He said that if I have good results he would like to work with me and getting the word out. So pray that I get better. ) Hugs, MK Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
