I can't stand it, I am counting down the days til surgery, 2 weeks from today!!!!! I've hated my implants since I got them, ended up far bigger than I wanted (sounds like it happens often). I was diagnosed with Hashimoto's two years ago (hmmm, wonder how I got that?) I had my implants drained Sept. 21st. Could hardly stand to look at them when I first got home, I only let my hubby look one time yesterday. He would love me no matter what, I just want him to see the finally. I will be posting pictures of the before and after, only because of the other brave women who have posted all of their photos. Because of them and their stories having helped me so much, hopefully I can help others too. Hurry, hurry, hurry, can you tell I'm excited!

We’re on the same schedule. I’m having explanation 11/9/17. Decided not to get a lift I can always get one later if I feel I have to have it. 400cc silicone under the muscle for 35 years. They hurt, CC and leaking. Less than two weeks! Keep us posted !

I opted to go with the lift at the same time so only one surgery instead of two. I pretty much knew I was going to need a lift before having the implants drained 6 weeks ago. After two, now ex-husbands, made horrible comments about my saggy breasts is the reason I got the implants in the first place. I just want to fill out the top half of a bra as well as the bottom. I will try and post after my surgery to let you know how I am doing.

I had an explant and lift three months ago. Best decision I ever made!! You will not believe how great it feels to be "implant free." Good luck to you!!

Thank you, I am so excited to finally be getting rid of my implants. Wish I had never done it in the first place.

Made it to Oregon safe and sound, rain snow mix coming over the last mountain pass. I’m all marked up and ready to go. Was able to get some photos taken with my iPad. I’ll try and post after surgery.

How exciting!! All the best to you on this wonderful day- you’ll be so glad you took this step!
Hashimoto’s is a real bummer. I’m 8 weeks post-op and haven’t noticed a change in my symptoms yet, but I feel it will happen especially with changes in diet etc
Please update when you can, I’d love to know how you’re doing xx
