I can honestly say I will not miss these things. I am not worried one bit about having small breasts, in fact I am extremely excited about it.

I remember being about 21 and going to the river in Louisiana to drink and have a good time. I stuffed my bikini top with some chicken cutlets, dove into the water and came up and lost one of my cutlets. I came to the river with boobs and left with none, it was obvious. From that point forward, all I could think about was a boob job. I was always self conscious about my small breasts and my small body for that matter. I wanted to feel like a woman. I remember spending so much time stuffing my bra wanting more fullness. As fate would have it, the wife of the man I worked for at the time had a boob job and I told her of my itty bitty [RS bleep] committee woes. That Christmas I received a bonus in the form of a boob job. I was stoked, I did not have that kind of money so it was a gift from heaven. I got silicone under the muscle 350ccs. They were huge on my tiny body. The first thing I noticed was the attention I received from men was very different than I was used to. I became a sexy girl. My world changed in a way, I changed. Six years ago I remember wanting to take them out so I went to a plastic surgeon I knew and he told me I would not be happy if I did. I wasn't strong enough at the time so I decided to just at least change them out. I wanted to go much smaller but he talked me into 300cc and Silicone. Fast-forward to now and I am a completely different person. I have gone through a radical transformation internally. Five years ago I started practicing Kundalini Yoga and different healing modalities. I began to change the way I eat and became way more conscious of my behaviors. Since practicing yoga, I noticed that holding my posture correctly was very difficult. I realized that I was because of this backpack of silicone I have been wearing on my chest for 12 years. Its become very clear to me that it is time to explant. I think it has been in my consciousness for a sometime. When I talk to my friends about it, their response is always "oh yeah, you have been talking about that for a while". It is all I can think about, I just know I am going to feel so free without these cumbersome balls on my chest. They feel so unnatural, so not me. I am going for a consultation with Dr. Jae Chun on Friday. I am very excited just to make this step. I have no idea where the money is going to come from but I trust it will all unfold perfectly. All of these stories on this site have inspired me so much and I could not be more grateful for it.
