Huge breat implants schedule to be removed - Yay!
WORTH IT$1,828
Hi all of you beautiful peeps on here!
I moved out to Greenville, SC from San Diego, CA. I really did my homework by researching online and making calls and asking question, as well as referring to Real Self for input from all of the beautiful people on here.
I have been suffering with back and neck problems for so long, I just can't stand it anymore! I hate the fact that I gained weight from having them put it! When I first decided to get them done 10 years ago, I only wanted to go from A-B to a small C cup size. The surgeon I went to in San Francisco, insisted that I go no less than a D cup because he said that I wouldn't be happy with them. Well, for the past 10 years, I have regretted it and wish I just never got them done! Ugh! I feel frumpy and fat no matter what I wear or how well I clean up with make up, etc. I need you to understand that before my implants, I rant 20 miles per week and lifted weights 5-6 days a week. That all stopped after my implants. I started feeling like a piece of meat when I would walk into the gym. I was devastated. So, I stopped. My clean eating left the building shortly after that, too. I went from being a size 3 (120lbs of lean muscle) with a banging 6 pack abs to I feel like I'm seventy year old fat Pilsbury dough boy and need a wheelchair. I'm only 48! Sorry for the blurred photos but my fiance has the shakes naturally so when he takes pictures, they all come out blurry. Bless his heart!
The women on here have been my support through their journeys and makes this upcoming surgery more exciting for me! I just can't wait! Thank you all! You rock! I will update my post on my 2 weeks before pre op appointment. I will also be doing the PRP with dermapen soon and possibly liposuction to make myself feel more refreshed and youthful. Aging is hard. Even harder if you don't feel good about how you feel. But, I'm not going down without a fight! Rawr! Lol! Hugs! <3 =D

Wow..your taking the right step in removing your implants..I have 2 consults scheduled in March. I can't wait to get mine out. I know what you mean by feeling uncomfortable with such big boobs. I'm 5'4" and weight 110lbs. The doctor put 425cc's in me. I've had them for 15 years and I'm done. I can't get them out soon enough.
I will be following your journey. Good luck to you, I'm sure you will do fine and be so much happier.

Hi and thank you! I will follow yours as well. I'm so excited that it can't arrive soon enough! Lol! I am looking forward to fitting clothes better and getting my athletic body and energy back! I'm happy for you, that you are taking the step to remove yours, also. Ugh! They're a horrible invention! Lol! Talk soob. Hugs! =)

I'm hoping to explant in next couple months waiting on appointment coming through .I have been so ill for years and took me a while to figure out it was breast plants causing it .are you having capsules removed? I'm hoping I make a good recovery as I have gained so much weight and can't wait to start exercising again.i must admit I'm nervous bout general anethesic and a little bit concerned about the overall appearance but at the end of the day I'd rather have my health and hopefully after these toxic bags are removed I will get better. Can't wait to read your story and I wish u a speedy recovery x
February 27, 2017
Hi! I'm sorry to hear what those stinkin implants did to your health. It has wreaked havoc to mine as well. Don't be nervous about the anesthesia, you will be just fine. Really. You and I are both anxious to get back to exercising and losing weight. And you know what? We will get there. Little by little but we will get there! Thank you for your support and I will do the same for you! Just breathe and know this is a great deed for our body and soul. Hugs! =)
February 27, 2017
Sounds good and thank you again for your support. It means a lot. And lol, I feel high as a kite now and I haven't had them removed yet! I'll be back to update soon. Have a wonderful week. =)
February 27, 2017
Are you going to remove capsules ? X
March 1, 2017
Yes, absolutely. I don't want to have to worry about anything being left in there, afterwords. Ugh! No thank you! Lol! Good question. I know everyone has a different take on this topic but for me, I'm having it removed. It does not belong there. I want to be completely natural, end of story. =)
March 1, 2017
Yip I'll b asking for capsule removal too even though I have found lots of surgeons say it's fine to leave capsule .I find it hard to believe when I was told silicone implants were safe and obviously they are not !
March 2, 2017
Lol! I really hate that. Just because that person is a doctor does not mean they are ALWAYS going to do what's best for each patient. It's like saying, "yah, my doctor told me that the only way to cure my cough is to drink pee". Really?! Would you?! And you know what?! How about those doctors get implants and then deflate them and leave the capsules in. Let's see how they'll react to that?! Ugh! Anywho, okay, I'm off my soapbox. Lol! =)

OMG got appointment 14th March I'm so scared .more of the general anethesia as I always find the after effects increase my anxiety attacks .have you got a date yet ?x
March 9, 2017
I'm so sorry for the late response. School has gotten the best part of my time and attention lately! Ugh, can't wait for this semester to be over. Don't be scared. It'll go by and be done with very quickly. And you'll be glad you did it! Yay you! Lol! Mine is schedule for the 21 of March. I wish it was on the 14! Lucky you! I had to wait until Spring break to get mine done. Stupid school! Lol! You will be fine. I know that general anesthesia is no fun but, the procedure is very quick so, you shouldn't be under for too long. I asked the doctor how long the surgery will take and he said a total whopping 30 minutes. I'll take it! I too, get anxiety attacks. But for some reason, I'm not freaking out. I guess I'm just so done and fed up with lugging around these couple of (they fell like a100lbs each) watermelon implants! So, we shall both take deep breaths and just know that everything will be absolutely fine. Before, during, and after. Hugs! =)

Pre op was today so they took blood pressure , height ect and weight .lol I wonder how much I'll weigh when implants are removed :)
March 13, 2017
Well tomorrow is itty bitty [RS bleep] day I'm so nervous but it's the start of a journey that needs to be taken .At least if my health improves I'll be able to slowly get back to exercise .I'll let you know about the weight thing lol once I'm feeling up to it .not sure what recovery will be like but I've heard removal isn't as bad as getting the implants in I'm hoping this is true .xx
March 13, 2017
Yay!!! I'm so excited for you! Definitely easier to remove them than to put them in. Take your time in healing afterwards. I'll be here. Lol! Tomorrow is root canal day for me. Yes! No not really. Hugs!
March 15, 2017
One day post op and home .drains are out already .feeling OK few twinges but nothing to bad it's more the tired spaced out feeling from Meds that are annoying me .I've yet to weigh myself but I will do it later n let u know lol x
March 16, 2017
OMG! That's wonderful! I knew you'd be just fine. Take some rest and we'll chat more when you get to feeling 100%. Hugs and positive healing to you. =D

Hi all! Sorry for the late update. I've been super busy with school that it has left me no other time to do anything else! I can't wait for this semester to be over with!!! So, I went to my pre-op appointment and everything went well. They gave me a sheet with directions of what to do the week before, the day before, and the day of surgery. They went ahead and gave me prescriptions for Percocet and two different types of anti acids. My implants will be removed under the breasts. I chose this method because I wanted them out with one clean swoop. I also wanted the doctor to be able to clean out everything that he may not of been able to find if he just deflated them first then pull out the capsules through the areolas. I am very excited and wished that, that day would arrive already! Ack! Lol! Will check in from time to time. Hope you are all well. And for those of you who have already had your implants removed and rejoicing in the freedom of being totally and naturally all you, I cheer you on and delight in your happiness! Okay, I'll stop now. I sound like something out of an Easter based story. =P
March 16, 2017

March 17, 2017
Thank you! Next Tuesday is not getting here quick enough! Ack! Lol! Good luck to you also and don't blame you for just wanting to get it done and over it! You know the saying... If I knew then, what I know now... Seriously. I will post pics after the procedure, as soon as I'm able to you. Hugs! =)
March 17, 2017
Kimbi31, you must let me know what size you are now, well as soon as you are all healed up, of course! Will you post pictures? No biggie. I'm just so happy for you! Hope you are recovering well and the meds are now a thing of the past. =)
March 17, 2017
I was 36d-dd I'm now a small 36b but I'm pretty sure there's still swelling .before breast feeding 2 kiddies 34c, then after breast feeding and before breast implants 34b .implants were in 13 years minus a couple of months .I've not had a good look yet but hopefully they'll settle and fluff up a bit ,but to b honest my hubby says although I've had op I seem happier and healthier than I was before explant and it's only been a couple of days !
March 18, 2017
That's wonderful Kimbi31! My honey thinks that I'm going to drop 10 pounds, go from 38D to a 38B or even 36B, all of my health issues go away. I hope he's right. I'm glad you are much happier now. That's the whole point! To feel like your real self and be content! =)
March 16, 2017
I have so much energy today ,shoulders and back a bit achy but apart from that I feel great i hope this gives you some comfort as your op is getting close .not really any pain at all maybe a little sore where incisions are but it's not bad at all .lol I was scared about op and really it's been pretty easy overall :).just need to heal now and take it easy . If there's anything u want to ask that might help you feel free to ask xx

Tuesday is (well darn it!) coming around so slow! I'm excited and anxious all at once! I would like to know from anyone who reads this, if you suffer from not being able to breath on a daily basis because of implants. For me, from day one from having implants in, the theme for the past 10 years is telling my loved ones that I can't breath. I also have a sluggish metabolism, thyroid, and adrenal glands. I am a health and fitness freak and have been since I was 14 years, and no matter what I do, I can't lose weight. Also, my left breast and nipple is constantly in pain. And I mean don't touch me there or suffer my wrath type of pain. And I had headaches and migraines just about every week. My gallbladder was removed last November and the doctor told that, that will allow me to breath normally again and uh, no, no... I still can't breath. Went to countless doctors appointments and all of my tests came back normal, each and every time. It's hard to get a good full yawn. It's quite annoying really. I am hopeful, after reading a few stories on Real Self, that all of these symptoms will go away once I have them out. I'd like to hear from you. Let me know, I'm curious. As always, love and hugs to all of you beautiful people! =)

I have suffered very poor sleep for two years... most of days I felt very tired n sleepy. Very big impact on my job performance. Since after explant, I had decent quality sleep every night even if only 5-6 hours, I don't feel tiredness at next day but as before I would feel very tired. It's so magical...
March 18, 2017
That's wonderful! Thank you for sharing your experience with me. It means a lot to me! =)
March 19, 2017
Your op date not far away now .I'm so happy for you im thinking of u .you'll notice big difference with breathing it was one of the first things I noticed after explant I'm on day 6 and it's so nice to take deep breath xx
March 19, 2017
OMG, I'm so happy that you told me that! Thank you for comforting me. I'm definitely getting anxious and excited all at once. Hope you are feeling much better now. =)
March 19, 2017
Apart from itchy stitches I'm fine thanks .let me know how you get on .honestly it's a piece of cake compared to getting implants in .And wht a great feeling lying in bed without the weight of implants causing breathlessness :) I have post op app this wed I'll let you know how it goes so you know wht to expect at yours xx
March 19, 2017
Sounds good. I'm glad you are getting back to"natural" and normal, quickly. =)
All the best to you during this change. It is liberating & can't get over how happy I am. Feel free!!
It was a pain breastfeeding my second for sure but still do-able.
Ahh, to turn back time
Good luck!
Look forward to hearing ur story!
I read lots on here & took a lot of advice.

So happy!
