Hi, I just wondered if there are ladies out there who have problems following the LD back muscle operation? My surgery journey has been a complicated one, everything that they warn you could go wrong, did. I now have a lot of stabbing pain in my back where the muscle was, the worst thing is the feeling of tightness around my body which is 24/7, its like wearing an extremely uncomfortable bra, even when you are naked. I asked about this in the hospital when i came round as it was really and and i felt breathless, and they said it should ease. The muscle at the front isnt in the right place, its more under my arm and it feels so alien, twitching and flexing when it shouldnt. The implant had to come out as a) it was infected and b) the LD muscle wasnt big enough and was so tight it sort of squeezed the implant out. I had a hole in my breast for weeks before it was taken away. My previously unscarred body is now a mess and no surgeon in the country, I have visited lots of top people, can put it right. In part i just have ribs and skin, no flesh covering, and an unsightly bulge. I am trying really hard to move on, some days are ok, but the disbelief that nothing can be done is the worst. I recently went to a support group however everyone there seemed thrilled with their results and had had successful surgeries, so I came away feeling like the quassimodo of the group. In some ways its good that no one seems to have had my experience, i wouldnt wish it on anyone, but oh how it would help to speak with anyone facing the same challenge.
To all you ladies facing surgery, you have to trust your surgeon and go with the outcomes, i am but a miniscule statistic. There are more great uplifting success out there an you will be one of them.
