I am amazed how great I felt this entire year!!! I have been pain free and did not require my typical IC meds and have not had a urinary tract infection the past year. I am down about 10 pounds. I do eat better though, try to limit salty foods, sugar and carbs. I do a minimal work out, 30 minutes and walk my dogs about 20 minutes. My eyebrows are slowly growing back, and the lump I had on my neck (swollen glands) which felt like forever is gone. My gums do not bleed once a month anymore (around the period). My hands don't have arthritic pain anymore! All in all I feel great!!! Go ahead and do it!!! They are small but you can't beat NO PAIN!! Not sure how to change the "not sure" to a YES worth it!! But it is worth it!!

The other side!!
PSwolfieJuly 16, 2016
I made it to the other side! First, thank you to all the women for sharing their story because I would never be here if I didn't find this site and hear others were going through the same/similar thing. Well, today I am tired, I have barely slept the past three nights, and well I just need to take it easy. I have been stressed since I booked this surgery in March. Now I feel a sense of calm. My hands are the first thing I can feel that is different, they are nice and warm and are typically freezing. My neck feels soft , it usually felt like something was swollen and fighting something. My eyes feel fine too, sometimes they would feel dry and burny. My bladder, which is my main concern, is hanging in there, it's pretty good, not 100 percent but not worse, so I want to wait before I report on that one. I hopefully will have my drains out Monday and I am wrapped up as tight as can be, so I am pretty darn flat! One day at a time for me at this point. I will keep all of you lovely ladies posted on the rest of my journey. Thanks for being there!

Thanks 40! I feel like a big baby because I do need all of you lovely ladies to lean on! I'm usually strong but as you know this journey is an emotional and physical one. I just hope I took the right path. I keep reminding myself either way I did. Plastic toxins can not be good. I just hope after all this times body will restore it self. I'm praying and keeping the faith.y bladder is taking a beating with all the recovery pills, but it's hanging in there. Big hugs!!

Hey we all need eachother through this, that makes you human, not a baby, ;) [RS bleep] Be aware you may go through a healing crisis where things can be worse before better as you detox, but most of us are already feeling sooo much better and mysterious ailments keep dissapearing or alleviating... You DEFINATELY made the right choice beautiful, you didn't need them anyway!... Toxic friendships should never last lol... [RS bleep] love and hugs to you my strong fellow bosom buddy! [RS bleep]

Welcome!!
July 18, 2016
Congratulations! It's amazing to hear that you're already experiencing improvement with so many of your symptoms. Fingers crossed that the bladder is next!
July 18, 2016
Ps, you would know about no sugar, alkalising blood, and cranberry juice without sugar etc for bringing bladder happiness aye?!... Sorry probably silly question I imagine you've done a lot of research but just incase... [RS bleep]

Okay I am anxious for sure! You ladies have helped me come this far. If I didn't find all of the Breast Implant Illness information and this site, I wouldn't have enough courage to do this. I like the way I look, this is all for better health. Before I scheduled surgery, I went to a different PS in NY. She told me I would look grotesque, flat, like a boy and in good conscious did not want to operate on me. I am used to doctor's dismissing my complaints of pain, so this was no different. But, I am scared she is right! Looking at all of the great beautiful outcomes on you ladies, I am still going for it! (with a different PS of course) Thank you all for sharing and I am hoping that doctor was wrong!!

Well I was told AFTERWARDS by the nurse and surgeon said it to my hubby too, that I have a boyish profile?! Lol... I shimmy in their face! Lol! Hahaha... So you just eat n pack in with good fats n oils as much as you can luvy so they have a bit of padding to surgically remove things thru, then rest n relax knowing there will always be someone bigger and smaller than us!... We are individual, and no, impossible for you to look like a boy, you'd look like a GIRL at the smallest, and I bet a woman anyway... But even if she's right, look at BeYOUty, she's had incredible results with fat transfer!... ;) xxxx love and hugs brave bosom buddy! [RS bleep]

Ps I ALSO got told no my health issues were DEFINATELY not related, funny how after a month of Explant they're resolving spontaneously one by one, some two by twos! Lol... ;)
June 15, 2016
Aww thanks 40! I am going to check out BeYOUty. I tell myself that, if I really look that bad-there are options. First to get my health in order. Thank you luv!!
June 15, 2016
That's great news!!! I really hope I have the same outcome! I have felt that the cause of my bladder pain was these implants right away...for 26 years...and now my hope is it's not too late! Can the body readjust after all this time?!? i am praying it can. I did go to a healing mass and two weeks later I found the info on the internet for breast implant illness and this site. You give me great hope!!! xoxo

That PS was like the there is no CC, they look great, and you want me to do what??? Because you are telling me you have IC you want me to operate??? I said yes, I have other symptoms as well...I have always felt it is the implants. The PS couldn't understand that 26 years went by. I was like I was 20 yrs old and didn't have the $$ to do anything, and I wasn't sure I was right , it was a hunch...and I didn't see all of the info that is out now, that other women feel this way, I cried after leaving her office. But still followed through, the next day i was on the phone with Feng's office, and here I am, 4 weeks away-going with my instincts.
June 15, 2016
I'm so glad you followed your hunch, I too had an instinct and phoned to ask removal costs last year but didn't follow thru since we didn't have the money... But ended up putting much more on our mortgage and losing lymph nodes... Oh and the best thing to report to you is...my recent biopsies came back clear, no inflammation, one month after Explant!...so yes the body does heal sweetness, support its detoxing however you can! I recommend people just consider herbs, colonics etc part of their removal cost so they get the results faster, fatigue and health issues are hideous to deal with!... I felt like a 90 yr old some days more than others!... Now I'm feeling like a 40 year old! Lol...and I can't remember recently the last time I've said ...which became like my slogan!..."I'm just gonna have a little sleep, I feel sooo tired"! Lol... But I do occasionally since detoxing is hard too... But overall I'm tons better and you will be too! ;) xxxxx
June 15, 2016
Your the best 40! What kid of herbs do you recommend? I do want results as fast as the can come....but hey I have all the time ...if it takes longer :)
June 16, 2016
Ok well firstly you're sooo welcome, your my bosom buddy! ;) lol... And second, well I'd start with Marys thistle.. Or called milk thistle... It cleans and helps restore liver function...and neem helps clean blood too...I'm just starting that... Cabot health has a fantastic liver support plus with tumeric and detox support vitamins in it... You need to start with colon then liver ...work backwards coz need clear pathways to detox, and plenty of filtered water to flush... [RS bleep]

Thinking about you ! I know today is the big day! Let us know how you are ! Hugs!

Hi Brenda! I made it to the other side!! Yesterday I felt good, today I was knocked out. I guess the past few nights lack of sleep finally caught up. I am a bit sore, Dr. said more work was done on the left and boy I could feel it. My bladder is hanging in there. I can't say it's 100 percent better, but it definitely is not worse and it is better then before surgery. With all water, coffee, pills, antibiotics I have been taking, it should be screaming and it is not. I do feel a sensation, but it is not bad...I am hoping once I stop taking everything it will just calm down...but it is pretty calm considering. You know how it is, always afraid it can take a turn for the worst, so I don't want to speak to soon. My hands feel warm and I can not remember them ever being warm! I am wrapped up tight and flat, flat, flat...so I dread looking at them. I am just taking it day by day. I feel calmer too. Well, I am glad I did it, now I just have to get through getting these drains out and then detox and then pray my life is pain free! I will keep you posted and let you know what Dr. says on Monday. This site and all the ladies has been a blessing, because I really needed you guys to get though this! I want to give you a hug for seeing me through!! Love you! Big hugs!!!
July 17, 2016
I have been thinking about you so much ! So glad to have gotten this update !!! You sound like you are doing great so far. The worst is over now it's just happy healing time and detox later. A bit of advice I did too much detox at once and started getting dizzy. Your IC with coffee isn't acting up is a great sign! That was a horrible irritant for my bladder. Remember you are going to look flat as a pancake, I did and now sitting at a full B and growing seems, weird ??? All that compression will make anyone look flat. My wrinkles are almost gone , each week it changes. Just remember what you see now isn't what you will see in even 3 weeks! Lots of hugs sweetness! I'm here for you !
July 15, 2016
As an aside.. There are PS who do fat transfer to breast. I just had procedure performed by Dr Bednar in charlotte NC. He has perfected the technique and has stellar reviews on this site should you ever want a natural "redo". Wishing u continual improved health
July 16, 2016
Hi 55m! Right now I am flattttt, I am all wrapped up and really do not want to see the big reveal. I am not ready yet. I go back to the doctor on Monday to hopefully get the drains out. Yes, thank goodness there is that option of BFT!! That helps me keep it together! Even though I am in pain and tired from surgery and it's the last thing I want now. I'm glad it's an option!! Thank you for your well wishes!
