Implant Update..

Well, sad to say....as of last Wednesday...they removed the right implant. I was so upset...I was in tears in the waiting room outside of the surgical area. At least I was alone, cause if Huck was in there, I probably would have cried worse!

Doc W numbed up the incision site...that in itself hurt. Told me I would feel lots of pressure and tugging....NOT....I felt my skin ripping as he pulled that full Size D silicone implant out of that inch 1/2 opening! I was yelling "OUCH!" while he was pulling it out!

I was so tense while he was pulling it out that when he was done my muscles in my arms and chest were trembling!

Now, almost a week after he removed it, the only two stitches he put in, came out. The incision is still open and draining, and I am very worried. I go back in to see him tomorrow morning (TUES).

Please continue to pray for me. My mood has been horrible...as well as my eating habits. I know it is no excuse, but I am gonna use it anyway, lol.

Anyhow, I will post an update when I know more.

Uh oh....

Well, things have been going great at my externship site...learning lots of stuff...the people there are great. I love them gal's! I owe them, I have learned so much.

Other than that, things are pretty much sucking eggs! My implant surgery...went well....then the right side got infected, incision opened, got stitched up, incision opened, got stitched up again, and now the Doc is wanting to remove it this Wednesday if it isn't looking well. I am pretty much sure he will remove it....then have to have the surgery again in three months! I swear I feel like the unluckiest person right now (although I know that isn't true...just feels like it).

The doc said to me before I left, "I am surprised you are taking this so well." Hmmm...good thing he wasn't in the car ride with me on the way home....panicky, tearful, wanting to eat, wanting to shop, anything to make me feel better. I ended up going home and eating some tortilla chips and taking a nap!

Then I went to my weight loss doctor (I made a stress eating stop at starbucks on the way!) whom I hadn't seen in 2 months...I wasn't looking forward to seeing him, cause I know I have been stress eating. I have only lost 14 pounds in the past 2 months...and 14 of it was LAST MONTH! After the surgery, and infection, I kinda fell off the no carb wagon.

So, since I am dealing with this upcoming surgery and possible infection, Doctor B told me he will tighten my lap band next month. Told me to eat protein for healing, not to be stressed out, and not to stress eat. Yeah, good luck with that! LOL.

I will update more after Wednesday!
