Hi, at one year out, I can tell you my chest pains that were an every day occurene are gone. The only pains I have now are muscular from where I went from a 46DD down to about a 32-34 C. BIG difference and my boobs now sag and pull my chest wall. Hope to have surgery to correct this, but just wanted to tell you there is a light at the end of the dark and dreary tunnel. I was in and out of hospitals over my heart many times. Now, I am happy, healthy and in control of my life for the first time ever........
