Thanks for checking... I am doing so well. Back to work and spinning (just very moderate). My breasts are starting to do their own thing, finding their place in this body of mine. Haha. I really like them. First time I let my boyfriend see and touch them, very gently, but the sensation is back. Halleluiah for that! Did you do your consult yet, ittybittiesagain?
Beyonce has nothing on those beautiful breasts of yours!!! You should have done the half time. Ha! Ha! I am glad you are fully recovered. Happy, happy, happy for you!
Stay well and healthy...and thank you for allowing us to be a part of your journey.

Good morning Liv!
As I sit here trying to recover from explant (48 hours ago), I know that if there is a forum/site that has helped me through, more than thousands of dollars of therapy and plastic surgeries, this is the place. I applaud the candor and honesty of each woman, there is no such thing as TMI especially when we are talking about our health, our bodies and our psyche. I only had my implants for two years...it was done post separation from a 23 year marriage. Now that the divorce is finally over after two years...it's funny that I feel that I don't need the implants anymore. Just like most of you, my gynormous breasts didn't fit me. I am 5"1, 112 lbs and I had a a 34DD, not by choice but the capsular contraction made it bigger by the day. When my son's friends started tweeting about having the "hots" for Mrs. Diaz, I knew it was a mistake...huge mistake. The only thing that I missed while having my implants was running. Now I am able to go back to my runs, I can go to the gym without worrying if my top is too tight or not, and you know if my boyfriend can't handle the saggies, well then he can start dealing with that just like I have to start dealing with them. I know I have so much more to offer than big, fake breasts.
I wish you the best...all of you, with this site/blog/forum, I know a lot of insecurities will be addressed, a lot of questions will be answered and a lot of stories will be told. Keep them coming...because they really are healing for our souls.
More power to all the explanters!!! God bless us all!

Hello Gill,
I have read your posts as I recover from an explant yesterday. This site and form has helped me make a decision and has helped me forgive myself of the "mistake" that I had done to my body. I have had two serious mistakes the past two years and this is one of them. One thing I tell myself over and over is that that is why we are human. I have had three surgeries the past two years and spent over $15,000 correcting the first mistake. So you see..you're not the only one. I had an implant in 2011 because I thought I needed them. I have always wanted them and now that I have some money, why not. I have regretted it the day I had them. Then I grew capsular contraction and replaced the other implant and did a capsulotomy or capsulectomy...I get confused with those two. After four weeks, I developed another CC, so he cut me up again..then after four weeks, I grew more. So...inspite of my stubbornness, I knew these foreign things are not for me. I had them removed yesterday and I am happy with my decision. I look more "normal" now. I am very athletic and the big boobs, like you, just made me look frumpy. I have two teenagers and I know that it embarrassess them when they are walking with a mom who has big boobs that their friends look at. The explant is not nearly as bad as the implant. Will you be able to go back to your original surgeon, maybe he can give you a discount? My surgeon did my explant for free because he just put the implants last October. I just had to pay for the anesthesia and the surgery center.
I want you to know that whatever decision you make...will be the best for you. If your body is showing signs that it's rejecting the implants...try to listen to your body.
I would like to help you in any way...just let me know.

Okay so I took a picture of my natural breasts one day after explants and they are not even. They will "settle" won't they? I hope so. If not then I will live with it and enjoy them like that. My spin peeps posted pics on Facebook this morning they had a Super Bowl spin where they wore their football jerseys. I was jealous but oh well. Yeah I saw your pecs, and your upper body and I want to be like you when I grow up. Haha. Be well and you take care of yourself!
