I had implants placed a little over 4.5 years ago....

I had implants placed a little over 4.5 years ago. I had always thought having bigger boobs would make me look sexier, I would fill out clothes better, etc. My husband didn't want me to get them, but I did anyway. Fast forward to today and I hate them!! I haven't liked them since I got them. They look great, but I have always felt they are to big! I am always trying to make them look smaller by wearing super tight sports bras. As others have said I feel like I can't give a true hug because my boobs get in the way. I really just want my small 34B boobs back! As far as my health, I feel like after doing some research I may suffer from breast implant illness. I have brain fog, memory/concentration issues, joint pain in my shoulders, left elbow and right hip, my hands and feet hurt, and I seem to catch every cold or virus coming and going when before I never got sick, I had the best immune system! I recently just recovered from pneumonia that had me down for a week. I want rid of these toxic bags before I end up with an autoimmune disease. Oh, and I forgot to mention, I have no energy! I used to go go go and anymore I just want to lay around most of the time. I feel like I have to push myself to do everything.
I had a consult on Friday 2/26 with my original plastic surgeon and he said since I don't have any stretch marks and my skin is thick my breasts should look how they did before augmentation. I was happy to hear that, but we will see. I am scheduled for explant Friday 4/8/16. I am very nervous, but excited to be all natural me!! My husband is very supportive, he is my rock!
I wasn't going to post a review or photos, but this site has helped me so much that I want to do the same for others! I hope this helps!

5 days til explant!!

And I am so nervous!! I'm excited about having smaller breast again, but so nervous about the anesthesia. I originally wanted local anesthetic, but my PS will only do IV sedation. I will not be intubated, but still nervous.
I have already purchased a tight front closure sports bra, all my scripts have been filled and today I bought supplements and firming lotion.
Please message me with any questions, thoughts or words of encouragement. I just get so nervous thinking about the anesthesia. I'm doing this for myself and for my family so I will be in better health, but I also worry something bad will happen. My babies need me. I also get so mad at myself for getting implants in the first place (I didn't need them, my boobs were so cute and perky) Now spending more money to get them out. Taking money from my family :( No more surgeries for me unless it's medically necessary.
I'll try to get a pic of pre-augmentation.
Again, Thank you to all the ladies on here sharing your story & before & after pics. They have been so helpful and encouraging.

I made it through explant surgery, Yay!

I'm home now. I checked in at 9:15am and we were on our way home by 1:00pm. I couldn't of had a better experience! The doctor and staff were great!! I'm super flat right now with the ace wrap. The doctor did have to put drains in bothe sides. I've had a lot of output so far.
I'm super groggy right now after sedation and the. Pain med & muscle relaxer when I got home. I'm going to take a nap. I'll try to post some pics later this evening.
Thank you all for your support and encouragement through this! XOXO
