Thank you for sharing your story. I just found this website and have been so amazed at all the stories and similarities. It seems that no one else knows how we feel yet when I read all the posts, I feel so much better and know that I am NOT crazy. I got my implants in 2001 and I am getting mine explanted next Wednesday and I am so happy. I kept looking for stories that were a year explant post-op and yours just showed up. It has helped me so much and just feeling better about the whole thing. I know I want it, I've wanted it since the day after I put them in. I saw my PS on Monday and I called back today to set the date. I'm so ready and thank you so much for sharing. You look great!

Don't worry any emotion you are feeling we've felt it :) I felt crazy so many times LOL!! It's such a roller coaster ride isn't it :) i went through so many complications and never thought I'd finally be at this point, but here I am :D and I'm sooo happy. I wanted my implants out right after got them, but not having the info back then I thought I had to replace a would never be able to be implant free :) thanks to this wonderful web site,and the best women ever on here i new what to expect and what complications could arise :) super excited for you and will be thinking of you:D keep us updated, and never feel like you can't turn to these women, cause there amazing :)

Elle! You are such an inspiration. Your positivity and open sharing of your story helped give me strength on my explant journey. You look absolutely phenomenal! Not just your boobs (which are great!) but also your whole physique, you look absolutely amazing, and like your overall health and fitness are up. May I ask, are you doing some sort of special workouts - because whatever you are doing - you are really lean and athletic all over, and your boobs have gotten better and better! Very beautiful. Congratulations.

Thank You sooo much! I have always worked out but have always struggled with weight.back in february i saw a lot of my friends at the boot camp i go to try these drop "ARIIX" its for 28 days and they looked great :) so after i used them as my guinea pigs LOL!! i decided to try, but it takes dedication and i wasnt sure if i had that. Its basically a diabetics diet. No sugar no flour no sweets, and the hardest one "NO alcohol" all healthy. the drops just help you stay full and give you a bit of energy but not enough energy to make you feel crazy, I hate that feeling LOL!Its for 28 days and then you take a break. i lost about 16 pounds in the 28 days :) Now i still do the drops but i have added more unhealthy foods back into my diet "hehe" most people could probaly do it with out the drops after the 28 days but im not one of them LOL!! I LOVE food waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay to much! hopefully they dont delete my post on here cause im not trying to sell these, i dont sell these drops. If you can do a diabetics diet you will see how healthy you can get :) Thank you soooo much for making me feel so good about myself :DMind you i just got back from las vegas this last weekend so my healthy went right out the window LOL!! :D

Thank you for this tip! I checked the drops out online and it looks like they are homeopathic? I have had good results using homeopathics for other things. Mostly though, yes a Diabetic Diet (low glycemic) is awesome, I have been carbing out way too much over the past year. That's a lot of commitment to do such a strict regimen - so I think you deserve the congratulations for doing the hard work! I am going to look more at the drops, but ultimately the magic is probably the no-sugar / no-flour part, lol. That is the part I hate because I love pasta and milk chocolate :)

You look great! I'm in the process of finding a dr to have mine explained as well. Thank you for following through so long and giving me hope!
August 14, 2013
im so excited for you!! best thing i could of ever done. I feel so much better and lighter :) this has been an amazing site for me. If it wasnt for this site i would not have explanted. So i am soooo thankful for these wonderful ladies :D i did a lot of research before i explanted,i was set on going with a smaller implant,and i just kept coming back to this site.reading all the stories of these women just made me realize what i really wanted and i cant be more thankful. 1 recommendation for you :) try and find a doc that is experienced with explant. have you checked out the docs on here?

Yes the two drs I've found are both found here. I have one consult tomorrow and another on the 30th. I've been following the site for almost a year and have been wanting them out for two years. I'm finally done nursing my youngest and I'm ready to have them GONE for good. I've also considered smaller but realized that's just temporary until I'd want those out as well.
August 14, 2013
this is so funny cause i just wrote on your wall LOL!!! im sooo excited for you! its scary and you may go back and fourth.I did a million times LOL!! but now im sooo glad i just got rid of them :)

Wow elle!! You look stunning! You are sooo tiny now! lol. I don't know your age, but I would guess 24? :-D Congratulations on your boobs and on your amazing abs, arms, etc! I can't believe it has been a year?! Still planning a revision?
August 15, 2013
You are waaaaaaaaaaaaaay to sweet!!! I'm the BIG 40 :D you are looking FABULOUS!!!!!! How are things going with you? I am still planning a revision just on the scar tissue. When I flex it pulls the bottom of my breast up,almost like the bottom will disappear. LoL! So wanting to have that cut just to release it and give me a bit more comfort :D but I'm super super happy with my out come :D
User Avatar
August 15, 2013
Thanks, girl! I might need to see some proof that you are 40 before I believe it!!! Things are great with me. I know what you mean about the flexing thing. My scar doesn't look that bad when I flex, but it looks not so hot when I lift my arm. I have 'loose skin' from all those years of stretching and it all wrinkles around the scar while the scar itself pulls in and creates a hole- def not cute!!! lol. I hope your revision is a success!! You are always so positive. What's your secret? I'll have whatever you're having! lol. :-D Btw, I always thought of you as a curly strawberry blonde- I have NO IDEA why I would think that! lol!
November 15, 2013
hahahaha i just saw this LOL!! dont know if your still on here :) but you said youd have what i have wel its......... a lot of wine LOL!!!!! :) wine always makes things better LOL!!! I have blondish brown hair kinda long :) BUT i LOVE Red hair and always wished i was a strawberry blonde LOL!!!
August 15, 2013
You look fantastic! I can't thank you enough for sharing the journey with those of us thinking of explanting. I'm so grateful to all the brave women on this site posting their pictures so we know what to expect. I am so encouraged after reading & seeing your experience. Thank you!!
August 15, 2013
Thank you so much!!!! It has definitely been an amazing journey :D I'm always so glad to hear that any of the ladies journeys could help someone :D I was sooooo scared to post my complication pics back then but decided to do it Just in case it happened to someone else,that they wouldn't feel alone :D Keep us updated on your journey!!! Great Big Hugs!!

Hi Brighton Bird :) i am soooo very happy :D ill send you a private message :) on what I think really helped me :D you look great!! When I first saw your after pic I swear you had the body of a 21 year old or younger!! :D
April 28, 2013
Thanks Elle, that's brilliant, that would be really helpful....no, no way near 21 but thanks for the compliment....I was sucking it all in...:)..[RS bleep]
April 27, 2013
Looking hot missus. So happy for you. You really don't look like you need a revision. I take it you're still boot camping with a bod like that:) xxxx
April 28, 2013
Thanks girly! :D yep still boot camping haven't been in a few days though my job is keeping me really busy. I really watch what I eat now. I did a 28 day thing where you cut out all sugar, bread, milk, alcohol, flour. Basically it's like a diabetic diet. I'm still doing the same thing just not as strict. I keep my food in take at 1200 cals a day. Last night I was waaaaaaaaaay over LOL!!! I Drank a LOT of wine LOL!! :D and it was soooooo good LOL!!!
April 28, 2013
What the hell else is there left to eat? Ha ha! Seems brutal but it obviously works. Don't know if I could deal with that, I may have a few withdrawal symptoms lol! Just been given info on how to fast for certain days in the week and its supposed to be quite effective, may give it a try. Bootcamp was brutal the other night but it's working, can see and feel the changes already. Stay happy. X
April 29, 2013
It was brutal at first LOL!! After about a week I really lost a lot of cravings for a lot of foods I really enjoyed before :) fell off the food wagon this weekend so I need to get back on it tomorrow :) I swear I have an affair with my food LOL!! And my hubby is a great cook :D

Wow Elle - I just looked at your 6 month pic before actually reading your update and assumed from the looks of things that you had done a surgical scar revision! Things are looking really good. Your pictures, updates, and positive attitude have been a big inspiration since I first stumbled onto this site last year looking for info on how to get rid of my big fake boobs. Thanks for all you've shared with the rest of us. I explant on 3/15. :)
March 13, 2013
THANK YOU!!!!! Super excited for you!!! Im sending great big hugs your way,and good vibes for a fast and speedy recovery!! and remember IF you get down at all just come on here :) Theres a GREAT support team on here :D GOOD LUCK to you!!!! :D

Hurrah! Elle is back!! LOL. Missed ya! Yep you do look absolutely great--you have come along way---looking at your last pic---are you still going to go for a revision. Do you really need it? From the pic you look great! xx
March 13, 2013
REED69!!!!!!!!!!!! My sweet friend!!!!!!!! Im finally feeling back to normal a bit :) as for the revision, my sacr tissue is still attached to the muscle so when i move or flex it pulls the whole bottom part of my breast up and crinkly looking. Ill have to Post a pic to show you what i mean :) How are you doing?? we so need to catch up!!! Now that im home again YAAAAA i have a bit more time to catch up with my friends :) Ive missed you all sooooo much!!! :)
March 13, 2013

March 13, 2013

But IM SUPER HAPPY with my itty bittyy tittys hahahaha I LOVE being part of the itty bitty club again YA!!! my best friend told me the other day when we were hot tubbing LOL that it made me look younger!!!
