Sorry I haven't been posting much - it has been a busy last month! And really nothing new to report. I am still THRILLED with my explant results. I feel fantastic. I am working with a rheumatologist on my Fibromyalgia issues and I am managing it better on different meds. My breasts keep moving up little by little (no pun intended). I am completely happy with them and am SO thankful for this Forum giving me the courage to explant! Thanks everyone! Happy New Year!

Wow - I can't believe that it has only been 8 weeks since my operation! It feels like I have been this way forever! I barely even think about my chest anymore!! I have gone from a 34DD to a 34C, and I expect changes will continue. I went and bought a "normal bra" at Target - I would never have thought I could wear such a "flimsy" bra again! No more titanium steel support required!
I have noticed that my skin is retracting, and my breasts have lifted about an inch since the surgery. I am so glad I didn't go for a lift. Less trauma, less drama.
Unfortunately, my fibromyalgia hasn't disappeared... But, I am certain that having the implants out was the right choice. I am working out, eating healthy, and doing all the things that hopefully will help with my FM. I go to a new rheumatologist next week, and am interested to hear what she says!
Here are a couple of pictures.

One Week Post!

It has been one week since I got my implants out. I am now able to wear a sports bra! I went to Target and tried on tons of bras. I LOVE the one I found (pictured) and only $16.99. I got a black one as well. Extremely comfortable. I am a medium as I am very long waisted.
I see my PS next week for a second post-op.
I feel great and am absolutely thrilled! I wish I had done this years ago!!

You look fantastic and glad to hear your doing so well. I am amazed how many many women are going through this, so many of us made this decision in haste to implant and Im so glad and blessed to be able to have had an explant as Im sure you all are. God Bless you all and enjoy the NATURAL you !!

You look great. You mentioned in your review that because the implants were textured, they stuck. Was your dr able to get them out without rupturing them? It will be interesting to see how your general health will be now you have them out. Mine came out too, I'm happy they are gone.

Hi Pink56, the implants came out without rupture. I don't know how she got those huge things out through these little incisions. So far, no change with my fibromyalgia, but I sure feel a lot happier!!!

Sorry to hear you have not felt relief from your fibromyalgia :( Hopefully your symptoms will decrease . Mine have drastically improved.
November 17, 2013
Wow, that's a relief that they came out in one piece. I hope your fibromyalgia will improve. A friend of mine was helped a lot by "clean" eating , i.e. no sugar, white flour, wheat, coffee or alcohol) and water exercise ( gentle no impact water aerobics)

Hi Pink! Thanks! Yes, I am all over the diet thing...I have lost 25lbs in the last 9 months and am eating whole, non-processed foods only and no bread products. Working on my cardio now and doing yoga. I can't give up the coffee though! Without my cup in the morning I am a bigger wreck!! Keep your fingers crossed. I didn't get like this overnight, so I will be very patient with my progress. :)

Well done! Thats amazing, having lost all that weight and working on your fitness I really admire you for taking your health in your own hands
Just a couple of tips; coffee raises cortisol levels so thats not good... Cardio wise: make sure you don't overdo it and go over 80 % of your maximum heart rate (220 minus age). Also would advise you to only do low impact exercise. ( ie elliptical trainer rather than treadmill). Good luck !

Thanks for the cardio tip!! My PT told me to do something different every time I work out. So I do the elliptical, treadmill, stairs, etc...I figure that will keep me from getting bored!!!
