thank you Felicitygal, thankfully mine had not ruptured but I didnt want to wait around until they did!
- go for it sweetness, you will be amazed at how wonderful you feel afterwards! You may have to be strong with Mr Karidis though, he's a bit anti removing them and seems to like using scare tactics to sway your decision. He told me that I would look awful after removal, and would be back to have implants put in again. But as you can see, I look absolutely fine and Im over the moon with the results. Good luck and keep us posted.

Hi Gypsy
Nice to hear from you again, shame your rheumatologist didnt want to listen to you. I think sometimes they all play a little dumb to protect the whole industry. I remember a friend of mine being advised to have a blood test years ago, to see whether she had a particular gene or something that would promote autoimmune problems if she had implants. So it would seem that the problem has been known about for some time. Really hope that your symptoms improve now that you have had your implants removed and happy to hear that the whole explant procedure seems over and done with now.
Seems like ages ago that we were doing the whole should I shouldnt I worrying thing.
Super sure now that we made the right decision.
lots of love xx
Hey darlz
how did it go with Mr Karidis, is he still doing his usual and making you feel uncomfortable talking about explanting? Have you made your mind up yet what to do?
Of course it is completely up to you and what ever decision you make will be the right one - but just a little reminder if I had listened to Mr (idontreallycareaboutyou) Karidis, I would not have explanted and would not now be as happy as I am now. Soft, natural, worry free. You do what you feel is right huney!
