32 Years Old. 13 Year Old Saline Implants. Breastfeeding for 7 Years Straight and Ready to Explant! - Dallas, TX

I got implants when I was 20. I was just insecure and thought implants were the answer. I enjoyed having big boobs at first. Now, I'm married with 3 kids and I just feel like I look foolish. My breast are too big and now saggy, I look frumpy. I'm so grateful I have been able to successfully breastfeed all my kids. I've actually been nursing for 7 years straight. Insane, I know. I've adopted a much more holistic healthy lifestyle and for the past 3 years found eating a real food, traditional food diet has helped a lot. But I kept feeling I should have more energy and feel better a than I do. I tried everything. Every supplement. Gut healing. All organic. No fluoride. Toxin free beauty and household products. Oil pulling. Energy healing. No sugar. No gluten. Anti inflammatory. Working out. These things help but I felt like I should feel better. Finally, I decided I was lacking spiritually. I started praying and reading scriptures and trying to turn my life over to God. During that time, I learned about holistic dentistry and realized my 3 root canals could be the problem. But I wanted to know why these teeth went bad. And I found the teeth meridian chart and realized my root canals were in the meridian of my breasts. Suddenly, it clicked. 3 years after my implants I had 3 horribly done root canals. I believe my breast implants have been a cause of low grade inflammation and my teeth were the weak link. I know I was trying to show humility and God opened my eyes to what I've been unknowingly searching for. I found Real Self and am to grateful to not feel so crazy! That I can get these toxic implants out and just be me! I have a consult with Dr Angobaldo in Plano, tx this month and then Dr Melmed in Dallas in June. I'm so anxious to hear my options. I'm most worried about what will happen in regards to breastfeeding in the future. I want at least one more child and if I can't breastfed I'll be crushed! Has anyone had implants out and successfully breastfed after? I don't care how my breasts look. I want to feel healthy and be able to nurse any future children. I don't mind having saggy breasts so long as they work! I can get a lift when I close down the baby factory ???? I can't wait to get these things out. I never thought I would long for a Small chest but I think about it constantly. I'm so inspired by all the women here who have done this and shared their experience! It gives me hope and takes away a lot of the fear and doubts I've had.

I saw Dr Angobaldo in Plano,TX today. He was kind. Nice facility. He seemed concerned that my boobs would only be a B cup (I would be thrilled with a B) and that my husband might not like it. He only showed pics of women he lifted and implanted again ?? I just don't think he understands and that's ok. I know what I need and my gut says he's not the surgeon for me. He also said he can't do surgery till I've stopped nursing for 6 months. I didn't know about that, I need to really accelerate weaning! His quote was $3500, which I felt was fair and reasonable.

I met with Dr Melmed today and was so impressed. He made me feel comfortable and was so kind and caring. I think my breasts look scary bad and he didn't make me feel that way at all. He said upfront that he is direct and honest and I like that! He is honest but delivered the message in a kind way. He also said I should have no problems breastfeeding any future babes, which was my biggest concern .

I scheduled my surgery for end of October! For the surgery (explant with lift), anesthesia and hospital fee it totals $8000. But he gives a $500 discount if you pay cash or check and 15% off for Firefighter/police/military/teachers ???? I'm not concerned with cost, when it comes to something this permanent and risky, I want the best and I'll pay for that!

I'm so excited! It's going to be a long 4 month wait but I have to wean my 2 year old.... Any tips on weaning??
