56 Years Old - Removing 26 Year old implants - Atlanta, GA

I am 56 year old. No Kids and Single. I got BA when I was 29 after a divorce. I didn't spend a lot of time
thinking about it. Kindof a quick decision, but this was before the internet so there was no way to research
it. Before BA I was a 34AA. I wanted to be a cute little B cup. I woke up from surgury a full C+. I was in
shock. Always thought they were too big, but I got used to them. About 8 yrs. later starting getting wierd
symptoms, fatigue, can't sleep, strange pains in my arms and wrists. Was in so much pain, I cried every day.
I went to my PS who did the BA because I wanted them removed. He said they were not ruptured, that he did not
recommend removing, so I felt like he just blew me off. I went to the chiropractor for 6 months and he got
the pains in my wrist and arms to go away. So I thought I was fine and stopped worrying about the implants.
So fast forward about 3 years ago. My hair started falling out in big clumps. Woke up one day and my
eyelashes were completely gone, can't wear mascara, nothing to put it on. I thought it was a reaction to hair
color. Stopped coloring my hair. It grew back healthy and thick, but now all silvery gray. It never occured
to me that this sensitivity to hair color could have anything to do with implants. After this, I became
allergic to almost everything. Can't drink coffee, wine, any processed food. Switched to organic food,
chemical free cleaners, shampoo, makeup, everything.
Started thinking my fake boobs feel heavy and tight. Like a rubber band. Found this website. So glad I did.
Now I am obsessed with wanting my little cute small boobies back. I miss wearing tank tops. Have this brain
fog feeling all the time. I have my explant surgury scheduled for May 25th, 2016 with Dr. Kolb. Insurance
won't cover, so am taking out a loan. I read the book Dr. Kolb wrote and want en bloc removal to make sure
all the silicon is out. Recovering my health is my top priority. I am anxious and counting the days. I
haven't even met Dr. Kolb yet. My consult and ultrasound is on April 18th. Will post an update when I learn
more.

I had my consultation with Dr. Ghazi on Thursday, 4/21/2016. I feel very confident with what he recommended, breast implant removal, capsulectomy, mastopexy and lift. So my surgery date is set for May 25th, 2016. I will have a surgical bra with drains. He has had more request lately for implant removals and breast reductions. He said my breast tissue was good and expects a good outcome. I am nervous and excited. The next 4 weeks will go fast I am sure.
