I'm a very tall Amazonian looking women, I never had boobs! To be honest it seemed to bother other people more than it bothered me! After I gave birth to my second child my little boobs had gone increasingly saggy! My husband offered to buy me 'new boobs' if I wanted!
I booked in with a brilliant PS and went ahead with 500cc implants. The operation went well and I absolutely loved my new perfect boobs. They didn't define me nor did I feel they were mine and something I couldn't live without. (Luckily)
I went on to have another baby, this pregnancy was so hard with many annoying symptoms.
Huge weight gain, unable to breathe (had to stop my gym activities) the birth was almost impossible and I was very late (15 days) baby was born fit and well. The weight loss battle began and I was like shifting tarmac!
I had my fourth baby and again uncontrolled weight gain, very sluggish but overall nothing that couldn't be recovered or mended.
I still had terrible asthma and really painful skin conditions on my hands. Didn't relate this to anything other than over work load with four children.
In 2014 I started having my periods every two weeks and my sleeping was awful, I literally couldn't sleep. I would be up for a few days at a time, I'd carry on as normal. Even night nurse couldn't knock me out.
In 2015 things got so bad I'd started getting terrible fatigue and literally felt I was dying! I wouldn't be able to move! I was scared. I'd gone from being the light and sole to bed ridden.
I went to see my GP and asked for a blood test, my bloods reviled I was suffering from an under active thyroid.
My symptoms :
Thin hair
Fatigue
Weight gain
Really painful joints and muscles.
Fungal nails (lost three nails)
Breathing problems
Stressed adrenals (highest reading my dr had seen)
Depression
Allergic reactions
Hives
Slow at healing (cuts,bruises etc..)
I went into over drive not happy to have this awful condition for the rest of my life.
I saw a nutritionist who ran many tests the main result was my thyroid, it came back that it had gone under active as a result of.....but what? It could be repaired but something was putting it under huge pressure.
My weight continued to go on even tho i was training daily. It felt like hell, I'd eat and collapse as my body couldn't cope with food, I need instant rest after eating anything. My morning classes at the gym would mean afternoon naps to recover! This was getting stupid.
I started loads of alternative therapies in the hope someone would have the answer.
Reflexology,homeopath,cranial osteopath, dietitian, acupuncture, cupping. For me personally I favour homeopathy it's so brilliant and helped me massively.
My homeopath recommend I saw a reflexologist whom was more than a reflexologist, she was incredible! She asked me to tell her my history and I explained what was going on. She asked if I'd had any operations? I told her about my breast implants and her reaction was 'it'll be them' she did my feet and said my body was completely shut down! She recommended I got my implants removed ASAP and start a silicone detox. Her words were implants will start leaking at eight years, mine were nine.
As soon as I left her house I booked to see my PS. I'm going to have my implants removed with an uplift this afternoon. I will of course take pictures and keep you updated.

Thank you for sharing your journey! I have similar symptoms and will be explanting in 5 days!! Have any symptoms resolved yet? Some women see symptoms immediately gone. You are a beautiful woman and your boobs already look like you have tissue even taped up. Here's to a beautiful recovery!!

PSwolfie, sending you my love and healing with your surgery! How are you feeling?
My advice to you is to tell the surgeon to remove as much scar tissue as he can! It's so important it gets removed, it'll aid your recovery. Most surgeons leave it for the body to break it down. Plus it takes time to remove it! Just insist he/she try's.
I'll be thinking about you xx
I already feel a cloud has been lifted! I feel full of energy and ready to live life! Something I'd completely lost. My weights already started to come off even tho I'm hardly doing much. If I could do anything I'd be up and running! Such a good feeling! A cloud has been lifted, also my breathing is clear, I'd had terrible breathing problems and now that's gone?
I stopped taking my meds yesterday! Only because I don't like taking them, I use homeopathy.
I've just bought a detox too, I'll post pictures.
Sending you my love and good luck.

Hi, So glad to hear about your many improvements. This is great news!! I wanted to tell you about this gel I have been putting on my nail. My nail also has had a fungus for years. Dr.'s never confirmed that though, they say it is not a fungus, but that's what it looks like. I was using this gel NONYX, I just found it this year and my nail is finally growing normal again. You should try it, to speed things up, but it sounds like they are healing anyway! I wonder if mine will now also. I am so nervous..but at the same time almost feeling calm! My PS said she removes everything so I am pretty confident about that. I am hoping and praying my bladder pain/problems will disappear or at least get better. I got Interstitial Cystits within months of BA, 26 years ago. It's been a long time, but I always thought BA was the cause and I am finally going to see what happens. Thank you so much for your support and kind words!! I have never lost a pound since implants and work out like crazy! After BA I immediately gained 10 pounds, so I am hoping that comes off too. Plus I am praying I have some breast tissue left!! My boobs look & feel fine and I am only removing them to get better, so I hope I am doing the right thing. Hearing from you makes me trust I am!! Thank you, thank you!! ((hugs)) Follow my story!!

PSwolfie, I've just posted a picture of my breasts after day 6! I'm so happy. You'll be absolutely fine. I'm over the moon. I was really lucky that my nails did grow back, although I've been taking so many vitamins and see a homeopath weekly? I now won't use nail polish ever again! So worried about toxins and how sensitive I've become.
What day you going in? I'll send a hug to you and think about you. [RS bleep]

I am catching a flight tomorrow morning to have my consult, explant on Friday!! I am so nervous!! I hope I look as good as you, your boobs really look great! I am tall myself and back then was super skinny, and flat chested. I gained about 25 pounds and I am hoping it is in my boobs too! I will keep you posted!!

How are you? Been thinking about you!! Hope everything has gone well for you [RS bleep]

Hi!! I am resting! I have not really slept the past three nights, so it finally caught up with me today. I made it to the other side. The doctor repaired my muscles (saline under) and the left required more work, so that one is more painful. I feel good though, first thing I noticed I have warm hands. My hands have not been warm in years! My bladder is slightly sensitive but feels better then even the night before surgery. Too early to report on that one, but it is not worse at least! I did see some a couple of hair strands come out today, but I didn't expect that to get strong over night. Right now I will concentrate getting drains out and then go from there. I see the doctor on Monday and I guess take a peak then. I'm in no rush I am flat-all wrapped up! Thanks for all your support, thoughts and positive vibes! I will keep you posted and lets swap detox info!! Hugs!!!

Your story made me wonder if those with implants should get an annual (maybe even semi annual) check up to test for leaking silicone. If your health problems developed because of a leak (and the fact that your dr guessed the illness was due to a leaky implant) a test might be a safeguard...
Did anyone ever speak to you about getting regular check ups to check the integrity of the implant?
